Do you guys really think half of the public is on St. Louis?

exactly DLX..

sharps money is on STL +10.. square will be on min -ANYTHING..

I am on Min-9.5 btw.. call me square, but i can see Minny covering it with a 10 pt win in case they pull starters late in the game because of the tough schedule ahead..

How do you know the sharps are on it? RLM? I'm kinda new. I've been using cbssports.com and sportsbook.com to check opening lines and betting trends.
I kinda like St. Louis to cover, but 43% is on the Rams? It doesn't seem like it should be that high.

lol haha nevermind that was the moneyline not the spread

coming off a big monday night game... it will be tough to travel and play a team that they "think" they will walk all over... RAMS come out and play hard!... Vikings win.. but dont be surprised if it is close.. i wont

Ok, I'm totally biased as a Minny fan, but I think they taste blood in the water after MNF, and they will play hard...STL just doesn't have the depth to deal with it...AP has been bottled up the last 2 games, and I think they will come out running. I would normally never take a double-digit spread, but on this one, it's hard not to (not as a fan, but as a "competitive guesser"). We'll see on Sunday I guess, but I see this one going 38-14 Vikes.

Don't flame me on the bias, I copped to it! I actually kinda like the Rams, and I think Spagnuolo will make them a contender again. I look to see them perform some upsets late in the season.

edmskid · 10-10-09, 01:32 AM

PS. 1 Unit Par on Vikes and Over 41 is what I did...

fading the rams is almost always the right play square or not and i hate ridin w the public but when they covered against wash i had und took und last week also pissed i didnt give da points also. bottom line fading da rams pays even though this is a classic letdown spot

BrownTown · 10-10-09, 08:58 PM

You think Minn will score 42 to cover the over?

Reload · 10-10-09, 09:01 PM

I think it's a tough spot for anyone laying the points with the Vikings. A big emotional win over the Packers on Monday and now they get a road game that they will take too lightly. And with the Rams off a humiliating shutout loss last week, they will play like they have nothing to lose here. I would take the points if asked for a side here.

What's the reasoning on this?

Huge home dog, vs. Monday night winner, people are betting systems / trends.
4-0 team vs 0-4 team, players expect double effect.

True, but even off emotional win, Vikes will stuff Rams, halftime will be
Vikes 10-6, Rams keep it close, get a few first downs with Jackson. Then
Vikes will close the deal, 17-6, Rams will have to try to open up. Sacks, IT's,
Vikes blow them out, something like 33-13.

Rams WR's are in critical condition, injured, thin (5 WR's on squad, 4 are banged up) small, inexperienced, pose NO threat. Plus numeerous other starters are out.

SO Rams are not prototype 0-4 team with overinflated line. Rams are a mess.

Do not bet trends / systems this time!

Minn should win by 20+, but it's a let down spot, so it's a tough call.

BigdaddyQH · 10-11-09, 10:11 AM

Again, the percentage of people on a team means absolutely nothing. It is the money on a game, and no legit book will every let you know that information. My group wagers more than any 10 people in here per game, but we count as 1 person because 1 person actually makes the wagers.
