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'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.

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
