As of now it appears 70% of money is on Denver (or maybe its just 70% of total wagers?). The books had to know that at an opening line of pick em most public bettors would be pounding Denver.

I don't think the line will ever move to sea +3.5 right? So what if money keeps coming in on Denver and the books refuse to give the FG + hook?

I'm guessing they are confident in there original opening line of sea -1 to bury the public? (Including me I have a decent bet on den -1.5)

moving to +3.5 would leave the books with a huge middle. 0 chance line will move up to 3.5 unless something drastic happens. Books don't win every game line more than likely will never be greater than 2.5, even getting up to 3 would be surprising.

But because the handle is so large on the SB isn't it absolutely imperative that the books have a 50/50 split? Of money stays 70% den and den covers they'd be taking a huge hit .

Maybe they make it up in prop bets.
