Just a couple of observations from the comments I'm seeing...
The line opened up at 3.5 to 4.5 at most books...and rose to 6 at most books (not sure if it ever hit 6.5 anywhere)... So, if somebody has a pick anywhere in that range it shouldn't be strange. Even today I believe 4.5 has been available at some point...if I wanted -4.5 on the Panthers right now at my book, 5d, I could easily have it for -120.
As for props...these numbers that are set and the prices are both VERY volatile... They can move a lot with really not much money being bet. As an example, the Friday before the NE/DEN game I bet Edelman over 6.5 catches at like -150... I checked on that Sunday morning and it was 7 at -190 for the over...then at kickoff it was 7.5 with the over at -190.
So, these things change. It's pointless to bitch about what line a guy is releasing on a game or a prop because you don't know when they released that info...and, we all know the numbers change frequently, they're never set in stone.
