NFL Injuries Have Litle Effect On The Line

You have made a decent case why injuries shouldn't sway the line much - but they do. Bettors over-react to key injuries and it has to be reflected in the number to balance the action.

Sharp bettors need to keep an eye open for lines that move too much because of injuries.

Teams have so much talent now that it will not sway line much.

Mike Vick not playing will not have much effect on Atlanta as Schaub is a very capable back up.

Atlanta has gone from -3 to +1 with Vick out, a sizeable turn in points ... The Fox

Most important injuries are on the defensive and offensive lines. Always most important, almost always overlooked.

I expected the Pats to go to -4.5 ... at least!! Some of my potato heads loved the pats after Victoria went down. Lack of big names definitely effect the line as Mudcat said.

Schaub has been okay but Brady is having a great game so far.

Actually Pats would of buried them if Vick played
