    Lines are based on a shit load of factors mainly let’s fuck with their heads by setting correct lines and line that make you think the opposite. But what ever the line is it will make you watch till the end. The commercials pay fr everything. Tv deals and stadium attendance is their income. Who pays the tv companies, the sponsors. The player get payed by nfl, nfl gets payed by tv deals and the tv companies get payed by commercials. It’s called entertainment and it can be massaged by the officials to keep us watching till the end. It’s been crazy in the nfl this year with all this chalk covering compared to the norm, but gambling is now legal and are getting people addicted, Vegas is not dumb and knows it must loose now to win big later. I’ve lost I don’t know how many games going to overtime to kill my unders. It takes money to make money, so must push on, the tides gotta turn sometime soon.

    Vegas and the NFL are not in cahoots. There isn't a massive plan for Vegas to "win big" down the road....
