don’t get it

took dogs in all these games , don’t understand the lines doesn’t look right , took ducks in live +11.5 team looks done,  looks like vegas is a lot smarter then the people that are doing the rankings, the teams with the off weeks are dogs and 2 of them double digit??, don’t understand how the ducks can come out doo weak , 

Lines are not intended to predict outcomes

+31.5 has a chance 

@the1toturn2

 just odd that the so called better teams are. dogs 

Yes but somehow people don't understand this

Ducks had a better record but were not the better team

I disagree

@TRAIN69

 Lines are intended to attract even money, not predict an outcome.  

Lines are also made on public perception, in order to attract public money..... 

+31.5 was a gift.   11.5 still has a chance

The committee only cares about viewership and ratings and not match ups / seeding.

Thus if they put in SMU or make Boise a 3 seed people have opinions.  People with opinions watch, then bet, and all are happy.

That's exactly what Vegas is looking for. 

Rankings are worthless. If thats where you start your research you are in trouble.  

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....
