10-0 team is a 1pt underdog? to a 3-7 team

Here we go again.

This have nothing to do with respect or who Vegas thinks will win. Vegas make the most money when they get a 50-50 distribution on the bets, so the line is all about what they think will give that. 

I understand what betting lines are.

Players will still use this as disrespect.  Heck, it is proven that a huge percentage of NFL players have no clue about what betting lines really are.   They know they are road dogs.....that is all they will focus on

Proof:

Rivera on being 1-pt dog at Dallas: "To be honest, it's nothing we haven't seen before. .... It is a little disrespectful, I guess."

means Rivera is going to old school and point to the fact only 1 time in NFL history has a 10-0 team been a dog....

His 85 Bears vs Dallas.

Vegas is very very good at what they do.

By starting the line at Panthers (+2), Cowboy hater money is going to pour onto the panthers, thus pushing the line into the Panthers being favored (will probably be Panthers -1 or -2 by Wednesday).  That line movement, will then entice the "public" to put money on the Cowboys and Romo.  

Ultimately, Vegas will get close to even money on both sides, not give a damn who wins, and drink up all that delicious juice that they build those fancy casnios with.

Aaron Rodgers was 15-0 coming off of a loss.

The Panthers were winless under Ron Rivera after a bye.

Russell Wilson was once undefeated against the Panthers.

We had never beat the Titans in franchise history

This just seems to be one of those seasons.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
