I remember a game i think 2 years back when the bookies seriously undervalued Indianapolis against Tennessee and had Indianapolis as just 3 point favourites similar to tonight with GB and Seattle. The game ended in dubious circumstances with Tennesse covering the spread and I thought of this today when looking at tonights game.
A few years back there was a playoff game involving Pittsburgh. I can't remember the specifics of the game but it was also won in similar dubious circumstances with a very questionable call by the officials at the end. I am seriously questioning the integrity of the NFL and I'd be very interested to know how many of the officials are actually betting on the game.
I've studied the betting industry for years on both sides of the atlantic and I'm seriously going to start to investigate this through my many contacts throughout the industry. Does anyone know approximately how many officials are employed by the NFL??
