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.

    • It’s going to get wild after this Sunday.  I would assume Dave has a really smart plan.   Sorta like the AZ plan last year.    After a big turnover heavy  bad game Bryce normally reels it in.  Bryce will have one of his standard 60% for 200 days and the Bryce defenders will use that as a “ I told you he is good” games.    
    • Bryce is a really smart kid and I'm sure he knows all the answers to the test but he hasn't been able to overcome his lack of physical tools and other DC's know this and play him accordingly. I think Bryce has good processing but when the correct read is the WR 30 to 40 yards down field and you have a defensive lineman coming at you what can he really do? He just doesn't have the arm to effectively and consistently hurt the defense and I think that's what's gonna do him in.  Pime example look at the INT versus Dallas last year when Thelien was wide open down the seam and Bryce threw it from a clean pocket and the ball was way short. Dc's watched that and knew that Bryce can't throw the ball deep. 
    • I'd give Bryce until the trade deadline to prove he's the answer and if he's not I'm dumping him for whatever pick we can get and I'm riding with Dalton the rest of the way.  2 and a half years is enough time to determine if he can be the QB going forward so for Bryce he needs to come out over the next couple of weeks and show that. The other players in the locker room don't wanna waste another year of their careers waiting to see if you'll ever figure it out.  If you took a poll of the players in the locker room I'm sure they'd rather lose with a respected veteran Dalton who at least gives them some creditability versus losing with Bryce who the entire media will say was let down by his supporting cast when in reality it's Bryce's physical limitations that are holding this team back.
