Nothing is more annoying than people who base their bets fading the "majority public opinion". last night, 75% of the public was on Pittsburgh. How did that work out for the "Public"?
Oh, and this whole "They are BEGGING you to take the Browns" Dude, I think you are looking far too much into what a -2.5 means after a team's name. All the books do is set the line, then the public changes them based on bets. The only reason it may have moved to 2.5 is because of action, not because the books are trying to force your hand.
The Browns are clearly the better team, the Bengals are a joke who just lost to SF and it wasn't even that clost. Browns were taking it to PITT a few weeks ago away, and should have won the game. Good luck with that CINCY pick. I'll take the team who I think will win, not the one who the public thinks will lose. Browns -3
