Vegas likes the Cardinals.

[Redheart]

Matter of fact, Vegas likes all the home teams.

Lets make everyone go bankrupt.

 

[Assface]

I wonder if the line is going to move over the next few days. With the Cardinals being favored to win by a field goal I can't help but think the general public is going to overwhelmingly bet on the Packers.

 

[splitsecond]

vegas was favoring the injury depleted pats over a fired up ravens team too. I know where my money is going on that one.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

I really would not call that the favorite since home teams usually get +3

 

[CaptTurbo]

like 3 years ago every road team won wildcard weekend and they were all underdogs. My dad won a small fortune.

[SuperSpck]

Phhht. They didn't like us last year about this time.

One thing about Vegas and that is money talks. No favortism or junk science out there. If the Cards were all that bad and Green Bay that good the line would show it. It may yet move in Green Bay's direction but they did not see the Arizona Cards last Sunday. We all may be surprised. I just hope we score first and they do not march down the field on the opening drive. The players have to be pumped and a bit p-----off as they just might think the Packers went a bit overboard in kicking our butts. Their big pass catcher is not going to walk over Wilson like he did our rookie and there line is not going to walk over our lineman like they were high school boys. We may have given up a bit to early on the Cards.

I don't know why I'm so worried about this game, but I'm more worried about it than any in 2 years.. including the SB..Will someone help me get over it?

 

[TheHopToad]

I am more surprised that the over/under is only 47.5. That's where my money would go.

That is one of the highest over/unders Ive ever seen. I once saw 51 but only once.

....and the line changes for the day...

Thats a lot of money on Green Bay to change it 1.5

they have been backed in from 2.24 to 1.96 on Betfair over here.

 

[LVG]

When the line is that close, don't pay attention to it - Vegas sets it so that they get equal action on both sides of the bet to avoid large losses.

You can see that the betting public is thinking GB in this game, otherwise the points wouldn't have shifted the way they have.
