Colts needed a lot more than 4.5 points. That line shows how bad chargers have played all season despite being a playoff team.

7 still wouldn’t have been enough. That Indy team is done.

The line was only 3.5 to trick people into thinking the Colts had a chance, and it worked.

This is what I don't get.

If the line was -7.5 then that meant Vegas was tricking people into betting the Colts.

But since the line was -3.5 that also meant Vegas was tricking people into betting the Colts.

Y'all give Vegas oddsmakers way too much power.

They don't know everything and every line isn't a 'trap.'

Oddsmakers cannot predict the future.

They just know that you can't either.

Weird stuff does happen, but you are correct. Bettors are no better predicting the future than the linemakers. The linemakers do have access to the quickest and best information that the public is always late getting after line corrections.
