Opening Line NY @ Carolina = NY (-2.5)

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).

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
