Olympic Shades New England?

[gobucks]

Thee just moved New England to -7 (-115) from 6.5 (-110). Is this a taste of future line movement? There may be some middle opprotunities to come.

Before the divisional championship games last week
my book had the AFC winner -5.5 over the NFC winner. I went very heavy on the AFC -5.5, figuring whether it was NE or the Colts they would be -7 for the SB. I love NE and probably will let the whole bet ride, but I am thinking about a middle. I am trying to decide; if it goes to 7.5 should I go for the middle? I'll wait for the last minute to make a decision. I have a feeling that the line will start climbing as it gets closer to the game.

Esqjam...you will never see 7.5 unless they know it is going to be a blowout one way or another..Books will not leave a middle open on a key number (7)..One thing books hate more than anything is to get middled.

 

Books will never move the line to 7-1/2 whether they think it is a blow out or not. A book with -6-1/2 NE and +7-1/2 Carolina will be hit so hard it it lands on 7 that they will go out of business. If any book moves like this - do not bet with them - you will not ge6t paid.

Then why did they just make NE cheaper?

The number should vascilate between
6 1/2 and 7. It won't touch 7 1/2.

If you want a middle opportunity from
5 1/2, i would buy the 1/2 point up to 7 1/2.
