Why are the Chargers favored at Houston?

[sportsfan9698]

I would have guessed Houston would be a -4 maybe -6 point chalk here. WTF? I must be missing something...

Texans are clearly the better team, and arguably playing their best ball of the season. But Chargers are -2.5 on the road at Houston. Somebody set me straight here.

[Bluehorseshoe]

I came in to post he same exact thing. Who is out for the Texans???

They're 5-0 at home on top of it.

[sportsfan9698]

Okay now that I sit down and start to look at the NFL action today... I can see 3 games that are soooo wrong. Dammit this NFL pulls me in each and every week.

Houston +2.5
Cincinnati +3.5
Oakland -3.5

That is it, trying to keep this short... but it is a few hours until gametime so if I find another gem I will let you all know

I don't know how Cinci is wrong. They have a losing record and no A.J. Green today. I think it should be higher.

All the more reason to back Cinci here. Their team is solid. Dalton is damn near Brady-like elite when the game has no meaning. Have you actually watched a Baltimore game this season? They are not a good team

[rake922]

could be a rigged ball game where linemakers know people are gonna take houston in that spot, yet at the same time know the chragers will win by a TD

[jjgold]

Rivers is so tough thats why

lots of respect for the hall of famer

I respect him as well... but after Rivers what do you have? I will also say Osweiler is underrated.

JJ are you saying you think the correct team is favored here?

will wait on NoCoin's analyses

Not a good team, yet they are #2 in the NFL in total defense...

Do you look at stats?

And they are at home...

Stats are for losers. Have you watched them play a game?

[JAKEPEAVY21]

chargers stop the run well and Osweiler stinks

HUGE QB advantage for SD

[grease lightnin]

Yes. They struggle on offense, but Cincy is #24 in total defense. The line is right where it should be.

Stats are for losers.... yeah ok pal. Good luck with that.

[jjgold]

trap game if you like Houston

[Bluehorseshoe]

I thought they said...."Rivers lost some of the team." in their last game?

[sportsfan9698]

trap game if you like Houston

So you are on the bolts?

[lakerboy]

I'm on SD ml. Houston played on mnf.

[Auto Donk]

2 reasons:

1. bill obien sucks dick

2. go youtube highlights of the last time these two met in houston.....

san diego may think they are the kings of knowing how to blow games, but they ain't got shit on the Texans......

[Ballerholic]

scoresandodds consensus has more money on the Chargers...

[sportsfan9698]

Okay I am not finding much of a consensus here...

Nice!

[grease lightnin]

scoresandodds consensus has more money on the Chargers...

That number does not represent the amount of MONEY on the Chargers. It represents the percentage of TOTAL INDIVIDUAL WAGERS on the Chargers, or the number of tickets, if you will.

The direction of the line movement indicates which side the MOST MONEY is on.

So in this case it appears the most money, AND the higher number of individual tickets rests on the Chargers.

This I agree with... it's stunning how so many people are confused over these things

[Mr KLC]

I'm going old school with this game. Texans are 5-0 at home. They are 4-0 against teams with current losing records. They are a team that can take care of business against the below average, but can't stand up to the better teams. Houston ML.

[grease lightnin]

Looking at scoresandodds.... the only play that is showing line movement that is opposite of the public is Cleveland.

I have the giants in a teaser.

$$$ on SD

small play

[JAKEPEAVY21]

I do think that Clowney could potentially have a monster game. The Chargers Offensive tackles have a hard time with speed rushers.

[The Kraken]

I don't know what is so hard to understand

These lines are spot on

We're too far into the season and these lines have been out all week and pounded by groups that do this for a living

And yet we have a guy here that watches the games and thinks his gut is smarter than the books and the sharps

Lines are spot on huh? Okay. Let's compare notes a few hours from now. A few games will be close shaves, and most of them will cover by double digits. Nature of the business my man.

Sportsy, the last time you talked like this you went 0-4.

The bigger point is even if they're off, you have no conisitent way to exploit them.
You're a bookies wet dream. Think you have something figured out in one of the biggest markets worldwide. You don't think the off lines haven't been pounded and the line adjusted?

You have no clue

[The Kraken]

Curious sportsman, what do you expect your roi to be on 100 bets?

[JAKEPEAVY21]

another INT for Hayward

guy has been amazing this year

one of the best signings of the offseason for any team and he signed a reasonable contract
