IMO I think GB is a much better team than Minn. Why did the line moved from Minn -1 to -2.5???

I've noticed since the beginning of the week when 92% of the bets were @ GB & the line still increased to -2.5 already. Now so far the betting percentages are kinda even, with about 58% on GB & 42% on Minn.

Shouldn't the line decrease by now? or when GB was getting most of the bets at the beginning of the week?

Looks like a Fishy game & Minn seems to be the play IMO...

Just because GB IMO is a better team & in their recent past meetings GB have always won ATS against Minny...

GREEN BAY AT MINNESOTA: Big move on the total here, as the opener of 48 is now down to 44.5. The totals guys have been on a good run this year. The sportsbooks are reacting quickly when they see which way the wind is blowing. Well, this is a dome game but you know what I mean! The sharps like the Under here. Early money came in on Green Bay at +3. I'm now seeing Minnesota by 2.5 in most places. Usually, when a number sits at 2.5, the sharps are on the dog, and the public is on the favorite. The public hasn't really bet much yet because it's not the weekend. I wouldn't be surprised to see that line back up to -3 once the public gets involved. Green Bay at +2.5 qualifies for basic strategy teasers. I haven't mentioned those yet. The Jets and Dolphins will be popular at lines of -8 or -8.5 because you can bring it down to -2 or -2.5 in six-point teasers. Green Bay is in the mix at this line. Chicago might be too once the quarterback situation works itself out.

Despite their strong effort at Tenn last week the GB rush defense is not good and Minnesota can run the ball. No way GB would be made a favorite here, although I think GB should also have success with the passing game, esp with Allen out. I'm passing this game, but the line is fine, there will be plenty of action both ways. Put a gun to my head and I'd take Minnesota at home to avenge the close loss from earlier.

GB wasn't too big of a fave in week 1 when these two teams met. Vegas thinks these two teams are about equal if not Minn is better as GB was only a 1  point(i think) fave at home and now Minn is around 3 point faves at home.  This game is huge for Minn if they have any shot at the playoffs.

Seems like you're an amateur @ this JCTS...

Tell any procapper if he minds getting +3 on his team when others are getting +3.5...

By the way, Portis is right. Teams can win by 1-2 points EASILY. These lines are made for a REASON...

I passed on games without the key # of .5 & it saved me a couple of times from Huge loses....

i thought u liked GB and capped them -3 over minny. if thats the case then i suspect that u would love GB at +3 or even +2.5 and therefore sould be on the dog and on the same side as the sharps. am i missing something?

the line moved cause the smart money is on Minny.  Greenbay on short week coming off tough loss in maybe their hardest fought game all season, getting little rest.  vs.  minny coming off a bye week fully rested and at home.  i like minny here

if smart money is on Minny, then should Minny be giving at least 3 or higher at this time because public usually play tomorrow...besides, GB and under is the play here, IMO.
