I don’t know that for sure but the line could be set even larger on the public convincing them it’s going to be a blow out. Also, same can be done with setting a favorite lower to intentionally make it look fishy to get people to bet the dog. Even if the intelligence thinks differently about what the games really will be. I think this is why sometimes team totals don’t really match spread or they don’t match game over under. Anyhow that’s my 2 cents on it
    Omg someone who gets it!

    Laker, my 2-cents. NBA is big-market, so the oddsmaker puts a good bit of effort into the lines-making. Not too many rotten lines.

    They study the travel schedules annually, so not many errors there. Just not a lot of bad lines in NBA.

    The books are amazing.

    At the end of the third quarter, the Lakers are ahead by three points.

    The live line came out with Lakers +2.

    Of course I jumped on it. They were giving me five points for the fourth quarter. I have to take that.

    How do the books always know?
