Ted,
That's Phil Steele in the nutshell ... falsifying lines to improve his record. I have been a Power Sweep customer for 14 years and have seen this BS week-in & week-out. As other's pointed out, there was no such thing as a +3 this evening. Wagermall which has 12 handicppers had Balt +2 -120 as their best line. I am not sure why everyone is fixated by NC sports. A bit of advice guys, buy Power Sweep for the content and stay away from Phil Steele's hype. I've learned the hard way over the years!

I checked the line about 5 minutes before 6 p.m. Eastern -- and it was a solid 3 in downtown Las Vegas. Even though Phil is not having a very good NFL pre-season -- he can still make the line run. Immediately after Phil gave out the Ravens, it dropped to Philadephia -2 most places --- and the best line I could find in Vegas (for those betting Baltimore) was +2.5.
This all happened within 60 seconds after Phil gave out the play.
Thank You
