I know this little tidbit you mention might seem obvious to folks who bet regularly, but for me this clarified a lot. I instinctively knew the purpose of oddsmakers was to craft the odds so that the house always wins regardless of the outcome, but the overall principle that guides the oddsmakers in this process was eluding me. Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Bill Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 While I know the Bills are the stronger team, the Jags get the advantage of playing today in England and staying there until they play us next weekend. Not having to deal with the jet lag and disruption of the long flight over there is bound to be an advantage for them. I don't care for this schedule, it tilts things in favor of the Jags by giving them two consecutive weeks there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thirsty539 Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 as a public service announcement; want to remind everyone of the annual Bills mideason slump, which usualy begins with a loss to the jags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a bunch! I'm not really an expert just how I've always figured it works. So if lot of money comes in on one side the numbers change to encourage money to be placed to countervit. So that's where a injury could cause line to change say if Aaron got hurt before game and Jets fans knew they'd have to win with Zach Wilson doubt the lines would have stayed at the odds when they figured rogers would be qb. Course once he got hurt bets were already made so no change before game started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTbills Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Can't believe it's only 4.5. I figured we'd be at least a touchdown favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
