    Anybody see a 7½?
    I talked to a few medium-sized BMs who just laughed when they saw the line pretty much open at 7. "Anything but 7!"

    The line is holding steady to start off the weekend but late action might give it a push. Anyone planning to buy off the 7?

    I think everyone here already knows that this is the time to stay with the top books.

    I'm probably going to take Bears +7.5 buying to +7.5 maybe -115,-120.

      Im leaning towards buying the half point from cris today, but 1st they got to bring it back up to 7.0.

      Im in on the under 48.5, only at this point.

        Bears 7.5 is around -125 right now on MB.

        I got mine at -118. I am pretty sure anyone else is going to make you pay -130 or higher.

            Bill,I think if you wait till the end,theres a possibility of getting the 7.5 without paying for it.First time I ever waited out the big one,but I think theres value with the bears now,but 7.5 seems a real bargain .

              I don't feel we will see this line hit 7.5 at all without having to buy that half point. The books would be fearful if the final score landed on 7, because they could get middled.

                But Dan, if enough comes to Indy,don't they have to push some the other way?I could use advise on this because I don't want it the other way(6.5).You know more than I do,so let me hear something so I don't screw myself.

                  they will keep adjusting the juice instead of going to 7.5

                    I dont think we will see them move it to 7.5. Like durito said, they will just play with the vig instead of adding the hook.

                      I see no reason to assume this game is headed towards Indy. It could certainly do that, but it could also go the other way. It has been very stable so far, and if there are top books like CRIS that can sustain +6.5 then I find +7.5 unlikely, but if you can't get +7 then you're not trying all that hard.

                        You can get +7.5-115 at WSEX.

                            Except the line dipped to -6.5-105 at Pinnacle. If you like Bears, that WSEX line is probably the best you're ever gonna find.

                              Books will take a huge hit if Colts win by 7. That would not be good in today's world.

                                When I took the +6.5 +105 at WSEX they moved it to +6.5 +100. That's still just about the best option left, to buy that up to +7.5 -120. After that, it's looking more and more like you can pay for +7 or accept +6.5. The game is moving towards Chicago. You could also hold out, hope it moves back.

                                    Carib is now at 7.5. Still Colts -105 & Bears -115.

                                      That would be rough. Everyone would look back at this time as the perfect storm.

                                      BMs have done a good job getting all different kinds of action on the SB so it wouldn't be as bad as it would have been a few years ago. Some books get more action on all the different props combined than they do on the side.

                                        I don't think Pinnacle is driving the number this year. I haven't seen them with the best line on either side for most of the weekend. The Pin line turns red and the other books don't seem to care.

                                          Hmm. Maybe the fact the US players arent playing there have something to do with that.

                                          If I could get +7.5 -110 with the Bears, I think that would be my bet for the Super Bowl. But as of right now, I think Im passing on the game.
