Line moved (1 Viewer)

Line moved to straight 3 points instead of 3.5.

Is that because of betting trends ? Or is this because of Watson and Kirkwood ? (Not sure they would move a line )

That .5 is putting the majority of money on the Rams from what I’ve read.

Glad this wasn't during the game. Line making a false start can be a drive killer.

3 points is homefield advantage.

This game just became a tossup

It’s been there for a few days in most places.

Read an article that said Rams are getting the most money at places which had 3.5, but Saints are getting the majority at 3.

I live In Vegas. If a line moves last minute could be for a number of reasons. Someone can actually move the line on their own by betting a ton of money on one team. Floyd Mayweather is notorious for that. Also most lines move once it gets closer to game time as well. I wouldn’t read to much into it.

Just means the betting money is more on the Rams at 3.5 than the Saints but not by a whole lot since it hasn't fluctuated much. Obviously at 3 the house wants to encourage people to bet the Saints to even up the books.

I can tell you right now the line moved to 3 Wednesday. If we win by 3 the books don't make much on this game. Most bettors will be betting on game day. Saints - 4 and - 6 would be a good bet also as you would be getting +115 and +130.

It moved because the Rams are getting slammed and overhyped.

This line should have been at 3 by last Monday with how much action LA was getting but Vegas was content to keep giving the hook to Rams backers all week. Rams are also getting a lot of ML action.

What’s that tell you?

That I don't know how betting works.

Well home field advantage is 3 points but I would think that dome home field advantage in the championship should be worth 5 minimum!

?

The house always wins...

The house always wins...

Clearly. Las Vegas opulence wasn't built by paying out losing bets.

As my brother, an old casino pit boss observed, "What? You think they bought all those marble palaces with the money they made from the buffet that they comp anyway?"
