Casey D Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Was there some major development for this to happen. Josh's injury?
RiotAct Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 that’s pretty crazy given that we are 3 games up on them.
Casey D Posted December 4, 2020 Author Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Yeah it was a steady Bills - 2 1/2 and then a 3 1/2 point swing. Edited December 4, 2020 by Casey D
LabattBlue Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 The goal of oddsmakers is to get even amounts of money bet on both sides. 2

Expand On 12/4/2020 at 4:50 PM, Back the Blue said: The goal of oddsmakers is to get even amounts of money bet on both sides. Expand Of course. But that is a dramatic shift. Moves are gradual in the line, unless something significant happens, e.g., a QB in or out. On 12/4/2020 at 4:53 PM, The Avenger said: So why all the money on SF? Expand That's what I was hoping someone knew. Garrapolo back? Allen out?
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 I think the 49ers can still score. With Aiyuk coming back, Samuel and Mostert already back, they are going to move the football. The Bills don't have the same gear offensively without Brown despite Davis' best effort as a fill-in. So a tight game is to be expected, especially on the road. 1
Rochesterfan Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 This is the second straight game with tons of late money going against Buffalo. The Chargers point spread shifted a bunch and a lot of people lost big betting LA. 3
InEnemyTerritory Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Despite what we have seen I think the Bills, unfortunately, still have a national reputation as a fraud team. Beating the Steelers should fix that 1
ILBillsfan Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 I see Bills -1 been there for a couple of days
Stank_Nasty Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Not sure where these numbers are coming from. Both my major sites have the bills at -1... still a large swing from -3 but not as big as the op is stating.

Expand No, more than likely a lot of money was bet on SF and this is to try and "balance the money" so the book doesn't take a huge hit...at the end of the day, the books want to try and make it so there is a near equal amount bet on both teams so they don't take crazy losses. In effect, the lines have more to do with gamblers at times than with who they think is going to actually win. Edited December 4, 2020 by matter2003 1

In effect, the lines have more to do with gamblers at times than with who they think is going to actually win. Expand Could be right. Maybe I missed a day of movement too. But right now it is pick or SF -1 at most sites. Just thought there could have been a big development, but usually if that happened the line would just be suspended, i.e., off

Joe Ferguson Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 Joshy may not play which is good. Let him rest and heal for what it's more important. The post season. 2
Lagoon Blues Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 The 2 sites I use are both +1 right now.
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 I think when we were -3 it mightve been partly due to the uncertainty of not knowing where the game was going to be played maybe?
Lagoon Blues Posted December 4, 2020 Posted December 4, 2020 KC is -1100 ....Crazy. Getting to be almost CFB lines.
