Just a ploy to shift the betting dynamic. Vegas could give a damn about respect.

It's not a ploy. You don't know how lines move evidently. Vegas wants the 'money' on both sides to be as close to 50-50 as possible, and they get to reap the rewards of the 'juice'.. so in essence, you are right, they don't care who wins. But, all of the bettors are putting their money down on the panthers... so they needed to move the line, so they generate more action for the giants. We are getting respect from the bettors (general public), after our win against the Saints, hence the line move in our favor.

Would have been perfect at +2.5 to throw into a two team teaser. Stay away at +1, even though I think we win. I bet on the Bucs game and the Panthers lost, didn't bet on the Saints game and we won. So being my superstitious self, no more bets on the Panthers this season ;)

Just put 10 dollars on the giants then they will not win, just a small price to pay for a team win.

I meant I didn't put a bet on the game at all, ha. I actually won two bets yesterday (threw the Ravens/Giants in a two team teaser in the early games and took the Seahawks/49ers in a two team teaser in the late games). In hindsight, wish I had put more on each than I actually did, but hey, a win is a win!

What's the best site for online sports betting? I'm ready to dive in but don't know where to start.

I use www.sportsbook.ag. They're very reputable (their lines show up on http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/, last column). You have to submit a color copy of your ID and a utility/cable bill establishing proof of address as well (this is for withdrawals, you can make bets as soon as you sign up).

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      Yup the casuals on Facebook ive gotten 85 laughing or angry emojis so far for pointing it out.  The amount of them throwing a fit because the canes were booed is insane

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By woahfraze · Posted

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
