Yes 3 for being at home and the other 2 hey that is Vegas.

[IronEagle]

sounds about right. i don't see that line moving.

Seems about right to me I'm not a bettor but no way the Eagles should be favored in this game. Also I suspect they need more money bet on the Eagles right now.

-6.5 in our pool

That line's trying to tell me something.

Easiest pick ever

[Dolomite]

I found one that had GB -7 id take the Eagles getting 7 I think they'll win outright.

[art vandelay]

Movement would tell me a lot on this one. If they need money on the Eagles it goes to 7 and I'm worried. I suspect public money is on the Packers, so I would love to see big money take this line down. Maybe that occurs because GB can't stop the run. I don't anticipate it, but I would love it.

Thanks for the expertise mr vegas.

Enough with this Mikey Miss crap. I remember in 2011 the Eagles were favorite in almost every game.

yeah man.

i totally see what you're saying but i'm really not trying to break out some bullshit like "this is a packers line," or his really ass backwards reasoning that arizona wasn't that good because they were only favored by 3.5 at oakland. i don't view the line as a prediction but i think movement matters. i also think lack of line movement matters if a weird line comes out like pittsburgh -4 at NYJ this past week. off the top of my head just from this year i remember loving us against indy, as the public was betting against an 0-2 indy start but the line didn't budge. i was also worried about the line movement in the direction of STL a few weeks ago. they didn't cover the closing line, but they covered the opening line.

[Dim Bulb]

Bwahaahaa!

Okay Anthony

Good thing you recognize irony when you see it.

Do you drink?

The sagarin ratings are usually pretty darn close to the vegas line, but it should be only a 1 point spread based on their formulas

Right now, there is some irrational exuberance pushing that line higher
