Re: Early Vegas Line: Lions favored by 2
It's funny how Vegas works. Not only do they have to consider everything that could affect the outcome of the game, but they also have to think about weather or not the odds they provide will serve as motivation for the teams involved.

Re: Early Vegas Line: Lions favored by 2
Keep in mind that Vegas betting odds are not designed to predict a winner, they are designed to even out the action on both teams so the house doesn't get stuck with a huge payoff. You will see certain teams with a large betting fan base often get points in games, not because they are the better team, but because there is so much action on that team that the booking houses up the spread to try and push action to the dog. If the increased spreads don't work to even out action, they'll shut down the game to new bets to protect against payoff risk.
Make no mistake, Vegas doesn't care who wins, just as long as they get their vig. |
