Unbelievable.

And to think, McDaniels was the laughing stock of the NFL before the season started.

And Orton still has a better record than Cutler

Might be one of those trades (Orton for Cutler) that work for both teams.

With the defense Denver has been playing, all Orton has to do is be a competent game manager.

He missed alot of throws in the first half, but put the ball on Marshall when it needed to be.

Dallas...has issues...what a shame....

Winning four in a row in the NFL is no easy task.

No matter the competition. I am STILL trying to figure out how the Jacksonville Jaguars were 3 point underdogs, at home, against a winless Tennessee Titan team.....

I laughed at that one all the way to the bookie bank.

I gotta tell you, THAT may be one of the most egregious examples of a wrong point spread in recent memory. One wonders what Las Vegas was thinking.

THOSE anomalies dont happen often.

Everyone assumes the Titans are eventually going to start playing well again. Hasn't happened yet.

The Las Vegas Sports Syndicate doesnt set their lines based on assumptions.

Tennessee had not shown much of anything starting 0-3. Though, they did have a close loss. To make them a three point favorite on the road against a Jacksonville team that has some weapons, and had actually WON a game, is just mind boggling to me how that spread got that way.

Most of the money was on the titans. They set the point spread the right way

Mike Nolan has done a great job with their defense. They went from having one of the worst D's in the league to one of the best in one offseason which is very impressive. They run the ball well and Orton doesn't lose them any games. They get key big plays late on bad Orton throws which helps.

How do you know most of the money was on the Titans? Did the spread move significanty during the week?

And, as any bettor knows, the spread is not set to produce betting in one direction, but to get even action on both sides of the spread.

Thats a common myth. The spread is set to entice people to bet the 'wrong' direction.


There are numerous sites that show you where the money is on any individual game college or NFL. Sportsbook.com is the most common one and its actually where almost every offline bookie I've met used to set their lines.

I think it was over 60% of the money on the titans.


In normal circumstances the money moves the line with it, but thats not always the case anyway.


USC/CAL, Hawaii/La Tech, SD/Pittsburgh, & MSU/UM were all games in the past week where the money was HEAVY one way, and the line moved the other way.


Needless to say Vegas went 3-1 in those games and made a shit ton of money (including mine! lol)
