Most confusing line week 1

[pilebuck13]

Seahawks -10.5
Miami +423
Seattle -500

This shit hasn't moved what's the deal here? I mean I know Seattle is at home and a better team but 10.5? No line movements someone? Anyone?

[POOLSIDE]

Seems like a pretty solid line to me. What's got you thinking it's weird?

Welrdest one to me is the Rams laying points on the road in the national football league. You're telling me the Rams would be -8.5 at home?

[jtoler]

Ryan Tannehill.

[mourning43]

Seattle moneyline for whole bankroll

[Jeff_Black]

There's always one road division favourite that burns everyone and makes a mint for the books. Last year it was Seattle against the Rams. The year before it was the Patriots against the Dolphins (which admittedly I fell for then learnt my lesson the year after)

I wonder if the Chargers are that team this time around? For a team with off field dramas there's nothing like shutting everyone up and getting the fans back onside with a win at home.
Especially behind Rivers

[jjgold]

no lines are confusing

nfl lines dead accurate is why Vegas takes huge limits on them

[pilebuck13]

Maybe u guys are right...just seems to stick out like a sore thumb to me hugest favorite on the board

[lakerboy]

Line went from -7.5-10.5. Not sure what is the confusion. Ml is set right.

[jjgold]

Money lines might be better this year


Lots of parity like mlb

Or take points

[Seaweed]

Stay away week 1-4 to get a feel and also stay away weeks 16-18

[StackinGreen]

1-4 seaweed?

Maybe 1-2

If sharps are sharp you must be a "dull"

Good point. I might want to lock in on that.

[klemopixx]

I think the Texans -6.5 have an excellent chance of beating the spread at home over a so-so Bears team. Osweiler is out to prove a point this year.

[pilebuck13]

I tend to like colts -3.5

[JAKEPEAVY21]

seattle is almost always a large favorite at home.

[Seaweed]

1-4 seaweed?

Maybe 1-2

If sharps are sharp you must be a "dull"

1-4

After 2 weeks its tough to have a strong feel

Some teams start 0-2 and then win 5 straight

That's a trap line. Has to be. Bears couldn't do anything in pre season with their starters. 6.5 leaving that td as a cover for houston always makes a line smell fishy to me

[jjgold]

Carolina should win opening night on the Moneyline

[rm18]

Lines are least accurate at the beginning thats when you need to bet. Last year Bengals were +3 at Baltimore. The year they started 9-0 Chiefs were a 1 point dog at Jags team that started 0-8 or so.

Somewhat true but week 1 lines seem sharp.

Week 18?

The Chargers are not a road division favorite.

[texhooper]

I find week 19, two weeks before the playoffs begin, to be the most problematic from a wagering perspective.

For the "Broadway of posting," lotta retards in here

[pavyracer]

What's confusing? The Dolphins travel more miles for this game than if the Patriots were playing in London.

theres like 3 or 4 games with vanilla lines but the rest of the games seem pretty sharp

[greenhippo]

I'm on the Packers myself -4.5. A fresh Rodgers and the return of Nelson look like a strong play. Jags might be good this year, but it'll take a couple of weeks to get everyone on the same page.

Same, mostly because I can never seem to find the lines

Packers -10.5 at home seems like a lot against a team that can score

[pavyracer]

Packers could be the road favorite which burns everyone. Very public bet.

[greenhippo]

All I'm hearing is how good the Jags are going to be. Haven't heard a word about the Packers.

[unluckysob]

I disagree----think your best chance is early in season, late in season, middle is a land mine.

Packers same song and dance. Win 11 games. Lose in the playoffs.

I'll take that song and dance. I don't bet futures. I just need them to show up fresh, healthy, and ready to go Week 1.

people expect jordy to be the answer to all of GB's problems.. nope. AND not to mention greenbay JUST traded a gem off their O-line and the bears picked him up.. if the oddmakers REALLY thought the jags WERENT a threat, this line would be a little higher.. like 6 or 7 .. too bad the books arent stupid and know very well that the jags will probably have a opportunity to snatch this game outright.
