NFL Playoff Picks Against the Spread Competition Discussion 

Post#1 » by bwgood77 » Thu Jan 12, 2017 7:13 pm

Discuss lines, movement of lines, picks, thoughts, etc here. I'd rather that than cluttering the pick thread or the matchup/game discussion one.

If you look at the vegas insider link, from opening line to current line, three lines have moved and the home team is now favored by more, meaning people are putting money on the home teams this week, probably thinking like you. The only one that hasn't moved is the Pats game...that's A LOT of points to give.

Now if you look at how much the spreads moved from opening to consensus, they all did....Atlanta big time...there must be heavy money on Atlanta moving it that much. http://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/las-vegas/

I just re-stickied it. I will update the standings and post the new lines for the Conf Championships later tonight or tomorrow. I'd like to wait until tomorrow to see if spreads move based on injury updates.
