Sean Payton Says We Are NOT Resting Starters Sunday

"Vegas" opening lines are based on the LVSC power rating system. But then the big bookies make adjustments off that line to squeeze as much vig as they can. So you can see different lines depending on where you bet. If you use some illegal small bookie, you might see a big difference like 2-3 points.

Right. That’s what I mean by the notion that “Vegas knows” something no one else does is off.

It’s a phrase that drives me nuts when a game that’s projected as a 3-point spread ends 27-24, but then five other games with 3-point spreads that end as double digit misses are all ignored. There isn’t any inside info or clairvoyance there. It’s based on ratings and slight adjustments.
