    The NFL game tonight is why most guys dont have a prayer of winning long term

    Total coin flip game, but because its the only action in town and most people are degenerates and its on TV 99% of gamblers will bet it.

    Thats why 99% of guys dont have a prayer of winning.

    Sure a few guys might get lucky but it is a game either side could cover. So why bother?

    Games like this are books wet dreams because they know that guys are going to bet it even though from a gambling stand point that if this game were on Sunday it would have almost no handle. But because it is a Thursday night game and in the spot light it will get hammered with action.

    The Ravens have lost two or three times at home. The Ravens don't lose at home. (Ravens Former season ticket holder). Ravens ML is a safe bet.

    Game isn't a coin flip

    Regular refs back will keep game close

    Browns love to cover these Thursday night games for some reason. Easy money

    Got any numbers to back that up? Because I feel like the Browns have been getting smacked any time they have been in primetime and by both the Steelers and Ravens over the past decade. I have no numbers to back that up.

    Not only have the Ravens been winning in this rivalry, they’ve also been killing it against the spread, posting a 6-2 ATS mark over the past four seasons. All six covers were also double-digit victories.
    The Browns only won one game last year on the road but posted a 5-3 ATS record, while the Ravens are 30-5 straight-up at home since coach John Harbaugh took over but only 19-15-1 ATS

    I won't lie. I bet it because I wanted something on the game. Of course it was a small bet just for fun. However, most people have a reason for going one way or the other. Just because you have no lean, doesn't mean someone else doesn't.

    Agree on sides with the spread being a coin toss. Ravens win s/u no doubt but just cannot get a clear enough angle on spread. Like the un and did a minimal play on that. GL boys!

    dont know much, but from what i've learned; every NFL game is a coin flip. Starting RB, QB get hurt and you're phucked.

    It's all on what you anticipate to happen. Sometimes you're wrong, sometimes you're right. Try to make the most money you can when you're right.

    Most are on this because it's the last action of the night. Which has nothing to do with Thursday . So right there you proved how well you know degens (Sarcasm) . But I'm on the Under for the last of my freeplay. add the old Refs back to a already a low scoring game and you'd be a fool not to spot bet that.

    Maybe very small value on Ravens moneyline. Browns could lose by 1 or 30. But that's a public play and a razor thin edge at best.

    You know, I want to argue with you but I can't.

    You're exactly right.

    Not really true this is a big betting day. NFL, CFB, MLB, and the WNBA playoffs tipped off
