Did Vegas have some insider information?

Every single analyst on TV and the internet picked us to win this game.

 

But Vegas had the redskins as one point favorites, even though through out the week 80% of the money betted was on the panthers as underdogs, yet the line didn’t bulge. Incredible

TV analysts are stupid and aren't betting large sums of money.  The game was basically a pk because it was at Washington.  Vegas gives 3 points for home field advantage, so we would be favored on a neutral field.

Yeah but usually the line moves as the money flows, this time it didn’t

But it's not that surprising.

Panthers were on the road, and the team as a whole hasn't been performing that well, record not withstanding.

Honestly the Panthers have been playing like a 7-9 team that's pulled out some wins, and their stats and rankings reflect that.

They're not that good, and got kinda exposed today.

    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
    • Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
