A Las Vegas sports book took an anonymous bet for $1,000,000 on Atlanta this afternoon.
Does this affect your play?

On paper (taking the Brady/Belichick intangible out of the equation) I have it at Atlanta winning by 1 and 60pts scored. However, when the next layer is added on, it turns into NE winning by 1-3 and under. The outlier to me would be OT and then a TD scored first drive. I usually don't let huge wagers like this sway me, but I will take note as the day progresses and the whales weigh in. However, the fact it is anonymous is more intriguing to me than Barkley or Mayweather dropping a bomb.

Here is my confusing part. All the percentage sites that show the action coming in say like 65% is on pats. But i constantly hear people that i talk to (friends and such, and i bartend so ive talked to a lot of people), analysts on espn & fox, and even local radio, EVERYONE i talk to is on falcons (probably 80-90%) RJ bell has even said that the money coming in vegas is about 50/50 on the spread but a lot of square money on falcons ML.. And lastly on here i would say everyone is split 50/50, so i dont know how much i believe these percentage sites today

Some people I have talked to provided their opinions but some of those fans are just that. Not everyone is a gambler.

There are no sharps or squares in a Superbowl with no news and no line movement.
Most people including "writers" have no idea what is sharp or square.
The terms have lost meaning as the confusion over what they truly defined is lost.
In the true use, to be sharp are not just a "contrarian" guess.
To be sharp is not even to win more bets than "squares" do,
because it is a statistical fact that "the public" wins just as much.
And most certainly, to be sharp is not just betting on dogs.

Couldnt disagree more.. Yesterday Sharps would have been on oregon and florida, while squares on arizona and kentucky

And im not saying sharps don't lose, but I think there is a clear distinction between the two

that means nothing..alot of guys with money to burn! This is my thoughts on the game... 58 O/U is very high.......I think I will teaser it up to 64/65 and put the extra 6/7 on NE to get it to NE +3 or 3.5 or 4.... I do like ALT but they have never been there..their D is not very good (24.8 point per game) and NE's D is really good......NE will stop Ryan more than ALT stops Brady...Quinn vs Belichek..Who is Dan Quinn..they lost 5 times this year which included SD and Philly! NE will win and cover the teaser! GL boys!
