Books had to get killed tonight on this Cowboys game.
Spread from -13 1/2 to 14. Total going back and forth between 40 1/2 and 39 1/2.
It couldn't be good for them.

All depends on the number they got.

The average square gambler bets 10 min before kick off so my guess a lot of them bet Cowboys -14 and over 40.5
I bet a teaser before kickoff for +20 Titans and under 46.5 as my book had -14 and 40.5.

Congrats, I guess, but that's a terrible wager.

It was for a freeplay. I think 90% of the Thursday games are under and no one ever wins by 3 TDs. I'm pretty sure it was a bad bet but I usually don't shop for best lines on bets for freeplays.

For sure they did but they’ve been getting killed all year in both NFL and now the bowls. Favorites winning all the time.

early line would be a cowboys win. then the later line could be a push or titans win depending if people bought some points, esp at domestic books. always dangerous when around 14 for the books.

I agree with you. Re: the side, the Book accounting has to look terrible on this game.
Start with the -10. TENN was slumping, people didn't need more reason to back the Cowboys. That has to be sided to Dallas. 80/20?
Then the news of Henry injury hits. People know him. Line drfits toward -12. Who is betting the Titans? Not many.
Vrabel names the starters missing. Henry plus Simmons and others. Doesn't look good. More Cowboy bets.
The capper was Dobbs at QB. He's saying that he can't have Willis get hurt. Now, it's an exhibition. More Cowboy bets at -13.
At 14, maybe you get some buy-back. Who cares? Lands 14.
Would love to hear any real reports from the book. How did they not get reamed on this one? Wasn't a real game.
