We are now 6 point favorites!

The line on the big game has moved up to 6 in favor of the Carolina Panthers in some sportsbooks, quite a move from the 3 points we were giving when the line first came out.  Vegas doesn't seem to be nearly impressed with the Broncos as they were with the Cards and Seahawks, who if not for charlotte home field advantage would have been near pickem games.

 

The last SB team who was favored by 6 or more was the 2008 SB winning Steelers.  

 

Given the 45 O/U vegas also expects Broncos to finish under 20 points.

The line has NOTHING to do with how Vegas is impressed with anyone.  They move the line based on how people are betting....to keep even money on both teams.

Correct, this simply means that the gambling public is not impressed with Denver

It will be 7 1/2 by the time media week rolls around

it's sad that this has to be reinforced on nearly a weekly basis... "vegas loves us, vegas hates us"..... the only love Vegas has is for money and how they can maximize it

True but on a side note...6 is nowhere near enough. :)

Vegas will not lose........thus the adjustments in the line.

they will keep working to get even money

Vegas does lose if they can't balance the line. High probability it will happen this game. Vegas wins in the long run through 1000s of games and their 5-10% fee.

    • To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys. 
    • Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
