opening super bowl line?

[QUOTE=anthony;38164]Opened Pack -2. Went quickly to 2.5 and 3/+juice.[/QUOTE] Just a small pet peeve - it didn't go + "juice". The juice (presumably -110 or -4.55%) stayed the same. The payout odds were adjusted. Not trying to be an ass, just something that bothers me for some reason. That said, I'm in at Pitt +3 (-115) Pinnacle and under 46 (-108) 5Dimes. Hard to know which way the public money will knock it around, so just figured I'd get down early and hope.

Big Ben + points always has a nice RING to it, no pardon to the pun. Pouncey is probably out and I know GB has overcome alot of injuries, but so has Pitts Oline. How are they able to run like that with such a beatup Oline. Pitt has alot of resolve and I look for them to be in it till the bitter end.

[/QUOTE] When he said 3/+ juice I believe he meant +3 -115 or +3 -120, meaning that if you wanted 3 you had to pay extra or "plus" juice.

I was surprised at the line but I've never been very good at making lines. But, a #6 seed favored over a #2 seed by a field goal seems out of kilter. Jim

Jim[/QUOTE] GB is not your everyday 6 seed. They lucked into six losses -- as outlined in a Fezz thread they easily should have been 13-3. It's not that they are lucky now after being unlucky before. It's just they aren't having the breaks go against them anymore.

grux, i agree with you. i still have a hard time understanding it. PITT should be favored by 1 or 2. from my understanding, the line in the postseason is more based on perception, right? lw

[QUOTE=anthony;38206]Fair enough, but "+juice" is a lot quicker to write. Right?[/QUOTE] Of course, I know what you were saying just something that I see all the time on the forums. A -700 bet could theoretically have less juice than a -110.
