Overs are now 3-0 on the week.
I've watched basically every snap of all 3 games and I've noticed a league trend that I think there has been a grand total of 1 holding call on offensive lineman on passing plays, and it came late on a Birmingham OL who basically tackled an Orlando DL when the game was no longer in doubt late in the 4th quarter. There have been a few holding calls on running plays though.
They are letting the offensive lineman get away with blatant holding on every pass play. Offensive tackles grabbing defensive ends on the outside of the shoulder pads and not letting go. I think the league wants scoring and they know the drop off in talent from starting QBs to backup QBs is dramatic.
So less OL holding means less drive killing penalties, more scoring, and less QB hits, less sacks, less injured QBS. More scoring = more TV/fan friendly = better ratings and attendance.
Be wary of betting the unders in coming weeks.
