nothing baffling about todays lines when considering

[Snowball]

the automatic 3-point home field advantage.
give or take a hook,

Patriots are 1 TD + 1 FG over Lions
-6.5 +(-3) = -9.5 (hook for Brady questions, small time off and other factors)

New Orleans are 1 TD over Dallas
-3.5 +(-3) = -6.5 (hook for Dallas resurgence, Saints non-dominance)

Jets are 4 FG over Cincinnati
-12 + (+3) = -9 (full TD (7)s have not been capped by lines makers to the Jets
for weeks, because the Jets are not a high scoring offense)

i've noticed there's too many posters who somehow think there's
something strange about these lines. Nothing is strange at all.
Those of you whose life experience gambling is new or limited to offshore
betting statistics also need to learn that there is a big market on the
street. Cops, lawyers, doctors, businessmen, blue collar workers, these
guys have been playing with their bookies a long time and are not betting
on the internet. Most are recreational players who only come out of the
woodwork on high profile games such as Dallas at home on T-Day and
Detroit at home on T-Day, which is what the NFL has been doing every year
for a very long time.

[No coincidences]

I've said to people re: DET/NE -- what do you expect, the Pats to be -10 on the road, given they were blown out in Cleveland?

that's right no-co.

i only wonder if the six-legged turkey will make an appearance ?

John Madden and Pat Somerrall are missed today.
