Basically the numbers change to try get both sides equal in bets made.


Awesome.  I know this little tidbit you mention might seem obvious to folks who bet regularly, but for me this clarified a lot.  I instinctively knew the purpose of oddsmakers was to craft the odds so that the house always wins regardless of the outcome, but the overall principle that guides the oddsmakers in this process was eluding me.

Thanks a bunch!

While I know the Bills are the stronger team, the Jags get the advantage of playing today in England and staying there until they play us next weekend.  Not having to deal with the jet lag and disruption of the long flight over there is bound to be an advantage for them.   I don't care for this schedule, it tilts things in favor of the Jags by giving them two consecutive weeks there.

I'm not really an expert just how I've always figured it works.  So if lot of money comes in on one side  the numbers change to encourage money to be placed to countervit.  So that's where a injury  could cause line to change say if Aaron got hurt before game and Jets fans knew they'd have to win with Zach Wilson doubt the lines would have stayed at the odds when they figured rogers would be qb.  Course once he got hurt bets were already made so  no change before game started.

Next week will be payback for that 9-6 debacle two years ago. 

I'm thinking the Mafia takes over in London.   Not sure how big jaguars are in London for all the games they have played there.

Ahh! Wasn't the the Nikell Robey phantom no contact PI game?


Yeah … they were down by heaps early on in the game … like 20+ from memory… made a great comeback and then stolen at the end

That was just insane. Worst call I've seen in my 18 years watching the Bills. The WR was not touched.

Didn't Shady get his clock cleaned on a goal line hit and fumbled it away? I remember that being a big turn.
