In this case, the books. The square books are juicing the line hard, and the square books are keeping it reasonable. Usually a sign that the underdog will win. One of the squarest books around, sportsbook.com, has a 7-dime gap between favorite and dog. To me, it looks like they're wiping out bankrolls on the top end, and paying relatively little to the other 10% betting the dog. Even with a 2-7 offsuit, sometimes you flop 4 of kind 2's! |

The books make it an easy read when they truly think Kershaw will win, and when they're inflating their line's to wipe out bankrolls. Personally, I think this is the latter, but time will tell! |

Looks like one of the
biggest traps I've ever seen! I get it, it's Kershaw and the Dodgers are on a hot streak, but
this isn't a huge mismatch. So far this year, no line of -275 or higher has
lost, and is due for a correction. Moreover, I just did a search of the
last 5 years of lines higher than -275. In general the line hits at a
rate of 81%, but when you look at just the month of June over 5 years,
the win rate of these lines is only 53%. It seems mid-June is the time,
historically, that these big favorites start losing. Another interesting
fact is Kershaw is coming off an extra
day of rest. They pushed him back a day just so he could start this
series. In games where he has 6 days of rest, the Dodgers win only 42%
of the time, and for you run-line bettors, they only cover -1.5 in 1 out
of 7! There's a whole other host of indicators pointing towards this
one being a trap! Putting a Hamilton on Mets!

I'm with you on this one but going to tease it 10 pts for an under of 82! This is such a must win for both teams, I think you'll see both D lines bring their A game!

The spread has moved two full points in the course of 3 hours today. My first sim of this game said it would be Ball State in overtime. I've simmed this game several times now, and in all others since the first N Ill wins by 20+. I think you hit the nail on the head with your analysis of offense vs defense. The only data point that makes me think twice is Ball State's loss to N Texas. North Texas has a worse offense than N Ill, but a better defense. This one will definitely be interesting, but at the end of the day I've decided on a 10+ teaser of Nill bringing them to -1, Under 82, and giving Miami OH 27 1/2 in the Kent St game. I know some may think I'm crazy but I think it's a very real posibility of a Miami win tonight, and at the very least they WILL cover the spread!

Seriously can someone help me understand why my book is giving up GB at -7.5 at +105?....WITH 75% OF ACTION ON GB??? I really want to lay big on GB, but this seems way to funny of a line?

Dolphins overpaid for their new 'talent' as usual this year. There are teams that live for the preseason since they will never make the playoffs in the regular season. After going 2-14 last year, they have to prove themselves here today. They have a much better preseason record(3-1 2012), and score an average of 25 points in preseason games(more than their regular season average.) But look for dolphins to do 2 straight touchdowns, I've got that game:
21 Jacksonville 14 Miami |

For any wondering what I won from Thursday:
Seattle Seahawks/San Diego Chargers over 35½ -110 for Game St. Louis Rams/Cleveland Browns over 35½ -110 for Game Seattle Seahawks -2½ -120 for Game St. Louis Rams +160 for Game Cincinnati Bengals +120 for Game Baltimore Ravens/Tampa Bay Buccaneers over 35½ -110 for Game Baltimore Ravens +150 for Game And I had scored WAS/TEN(22-21), and the actual was:22-21 I should have pulled the trigger two more times on WAS and the Over and gone 8-1 Thursday. DEN/SF was the only game I just couldn't figure out and glad I stayed away from it. |

You know that feeling when you miss a +9556 parlay by 1 FRIKIN TEAM! But taking them all as single bets hit me a wonderfully healthy profit for first day of preseason! But damn you St. Louis!
I know this is my first post, but this is no joke, I went 6-1 today, and I will share my picks for Friday since I feel even better about these: PHI ML CHI ML CHI/CAR Game Under 34 HOU ML MOU/MIN Game Over 35 DAL/OAK Game Under 35.5 |
