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).

    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
    • Good response. In reference to your second paragraph, many Huddlers are just haters when it comes to certain people. 
    • Anything is possible, but neither guy was as special as Luke whose superpower was diagnosing plays pre-snap. He was the best to ever do that. I'll argue with anyone who tries to tell me otherwise. But if Morgan, whose reputation for hard hits and high production,  and particularly Beason, who was markedly more productive than Morgan than Morgan, hadn't caught prolific cases of the injury bug, they would've certainly been in legitimate Hall of Fame discussions. With the injuries, they're in "the best to never make it" discussions.  Luke's injuries did not knock his career of kilter. Luke was simply more consistent during his playing career than both Beason and Morgan, and, like I said, he had that uber-ability to diagnose plays which transcended even many if not most or all of his fellow Hall of Fame brethren at the position (i.e., he was on another level).
