Opening Line = (PK)

Recommended Posts

I've been watching the line this week ... it stayed at New Orleans (-2.5) pretty much all week but moved to New Orleans (-3.0) today .. obviously most people are betting the Saints*

I have a weird feeling this game will be talked about all week

Carolina is going to bring it today .. in all phases of the game

Murphy should have a HUGE game against the Saints*' banged up secondary

the spread is designed to induce betting, not to necessarily give an accurate prediction of the outcome.

true .. to a certain extent .. the line serves more of a purpose than to simply induce betting

the opening line is the "experts'" prediction of the outcome .. then it moves based on how the public bets so that the house doesn't lose

I'm exaggerating here .. but if the sole purpose was to induce betting .. they would move the line to Panthers (-15)

.. but I see your point!

my prediction .. 37-24 Carolina

I will not bet against my team no matter what...I'm a huge Razorback fan and seriously considered putting $300 on Alabama -20...Can't do it!!!

We're gonna win this game outright!!! What's that bet? +130?

you mean the money line?

It's at +122 to win outright

I put real money down on Panthers -2.5 against the Bucs and got burned. Learned my lesson, staying away from betting on teams that are near and dear to my heart.

+130 on sportsbook

nice .. yeah my info is from Vegas

actually I just double checked it .. you're right

it opened at +122 .. but it's at +130 now!

.. at Mirage, Caesars, Harrah's, etc.

    • Doubling tripling and quadrupling down on this subject in defense of the pick is reminiscent of a certain mindset that has overtaken the political world. This conversation will become less contentious and dragged out to the point of becoming a dead beaten horse if rational minds can simply agree that we made a mistake missed on a potential franchise center and we will learn from it. All this coping is unnecessary.
    • Here in lies the rub that the supporting posters continue to ignore. He wasn’t a 2nd round pick in the 2025 class, especially with an ACL tear. It was a dumb pick for any GM who looks ahead to determine values. C and CB were much better values than an injured RB in 2024. If a RB isn’t even playing much in 2024, you have to compare him to 2025. We’re beating a dead horse but only because the defense of the pick is almost comical at this point. We’ve made a ton of poo picks and moves/non trades while Morgan was GM and the assistant GM. It happens, we don’t have to jump through hoops to act like we just had some really bad luck. The 2025 draft class is unknown so far but damn it felt way better afterwards for the first time in a long time. Embrace the potential and stop stamping guaranteed on the box of poo of the 2018-2024 drafts. We are were we aware because of them and 2025 has to hit so we can get past the 7 win max in 7 year hurdle. Also, “flashed his talent” isn’t 9 carries for 22 yards. His one reception for 18 yards isn’t a flash with 11 other touches for 27 yards. He hasn’t proven anything. We have no idea if he’ll contribute in 2026.
    • Oh for those tired of the Mannings I have bad news, Peytons son Marshal already has college teams after him and he isn't even in HS until this fall...   I'd wager we have two Mannings in the NFL in 2030
