Casey D Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Was there some major development for this to happen. Josh's injury? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotAct Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 that’s pretty crazy given that we are 3 games up on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey D Posted December 4, 2020 Author Share Posted December 4, 2020 (edited) Yeah it was a steady Bills - 2 1/2 and then a 3 1/2 point swing. Edited December 4, 2020 by Casey D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 The goal of oddsmakers is to get even amounts of money bet on both sides. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 So why all the money on SF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course. But that is a dramatic shift. Moves are gradual in the line, unless something significant happens, e.g., a QB in or out. Just now, The Avenger said: So why all the money on SF?

Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I think the 49ers can still score. With Aiyuk coming back, Samuel and Mostert already back, they are going to move the football. The Bills don't have the same gear offensively without Brown despite Davis' best effort as a fill-in. So a tight game is to be expected, especially on the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 This is the second straight game with tons of late money going against Buffalo. The Chargers point spread shifted a bunch and a lot of people lost big betting LA. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InEnemyTerritory Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Despite what we have seen I think the Bills, unfortunately, still have a national reputation as a fraud team. Beating the Steelers should fix that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Not sure where these numbers are coming from. Both my major sites have the bills at -1... still a large swing from -3 but not as big as the op is stating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, more than likely a lot of money was bet on SF and this is to try and "balance the money" so the book doesn't take a huge hit...at the end of the day, the books want to try and make it so there is a near equal amount bet on both teams so they don't take crazy losses. In effect, the lines have more to do with gamblers at times than with who they think is going to actually win.

But right now it is pick or SF -1 at most sites. Just thought there could have been a big development, but usually if that happened the line would just be suspended, i.e., off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Joshy may not play which is good. Let him rest and heal for what it's more important. The post season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generic_Bills_Fan Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 I think when we were -3 it mightve been partly due to the uncertainty of not knowing where the game was going to be played maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
