Right, which I get. I bet a lot. But wouldn't you be more inclined to bet the Lions if they were getting a point or two?

A lot of people dont get that, they think the line is designed to predict the final score margin.

I would but I think the betting public doesnt trust the Skins since they tend to play down to their opponents. I was shocked to see the Lions we giving points but nobody know better than the book-makers about these spreads.
