If the books thought NE was going to cover I think they would have hung a 2nd half line of -10, tempt Hou backers to grab +14 adjusted game line. The fact that they hung less than half the game total while only only up 4 makes me think books think Hou will cover.
Same thing in first game, if Sea was going to cover I think books would have hung a Sea -0.5 2nd half while down 9 at the half. But instead they hung Atl -1.5 and tempted Sea backers to grab the adjusted +10.5. Books smelled a blowout and made Atl the fav in 2nd half.
In this game I believe books don't think it will be a blow out, if they did I think they would have hung anywhere from -9.5 to -10.5 close to 2/3 of the game spread with a 4 point lead.
