    Thoughts on this Reverse Bet
    Eagles -3
    Ravens +7 (bought a point)

    I just see the Eagles covering a 3 point spread. Thanksgiving was a blowout and the cards are not use to playing in these types of games like the eagles have played in so many times the past few years. I could see the ravens straight up beating the steelers but i think taking the points is a much safer bet because this game is gonna be close no matter who wins.

    Personally I don't buy points because every time I do it seems I would have been fine without it...

    I do like the +7 a lot better than the +6. I thought LV opened this one at PITT -7 but I just checked
    and it's always been PITT -6.

    If the line moves towards PITT and becomes -7 I'll be at a loss.

    I'm hoping to see a drop to PITT -4, but that won't happen. The public is basically split in this game, seems SBR likes the +6 though.

      I see the public 36% on PIT and 64% on BAL with a reverse line move towards PIT (-5 to -6).

      Source:



      Vegas seems to think BAL will be blown out this game, and is trying to feed the "public" towards PIT.

      Good luck to those betting the Ravens who have not have a rest since week 2 and have a number of injuries to boot.

                a teaser would be safer but i think both teams cover and a reverse payout is a lot nicer

                  Like the saying goes:

                  "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"

                  but I DO wish you all the luck!

                    People think the Pitt/Balt game will be close but it will not. Pitt is going to win by double digits.

                      the game is going to be close.. what makes you think that pitt will win by double digits when both games this year were decided by 4 points or less??
