I might be wrong but I always thought the Vegas Oddsmakers base the line on analyzing statistics, history, etc. and then gamblers move the line accordingly if they start betting heavily on one side. I don't mean to say they sit there and look at every little thing but I would guess that the Dome thing favors the Packers. If the game was in Kansas City, I would guess it'd be an even spread. But again, I don't know a whole lot about the odd-making.

I'm not sure if this is true. I always thought that the three points for a home game thing was more like a rule of thumb than something that is done automatically.

well I have been betting for the past 2 years on games and it seems that all evenly matched teams it has functioned this way and they it is lopsided either way. As far as I know the UK bookies get their numbers from the US stats because not as many people bet on football here.

Like one time I had to call in because they didnt have a marker for some preseason games and they just took the spread from what the main us markets were using.

Ok so Rodgers had a great game against the awful Falcons secondary and he is a dome qb?

Prior to the Atlanta game:

106.4 passer rating in 10 starts, with 2,645 yds, 18 TDs and five INTs on 205-of-307 passing (66.8%)

Also add in the fact that those stats are from playing in domes on the road which is significantly more difficult than playing in a dome at home.

Ah, so you have experience with this. Thanks for the info. I'm not a gambler at all, but I always find it interesting to look at a game from that angle.

The Falcons aren't awful. They went 13-3 and only lost something like 3 games in the last two years at home, plus they had a BYE week to rest up and prepare.

The Packers made the Falcons look awful. I wonder if Rodgers throws 3 TD's and for 370 yards and we beat the Steelers by 20+ if you're gonna say the Steelers are awful as well.

Zero2Cool (48m) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.
dfosterf (3h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.
beast (4h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC
Zero2Cool (21h) : Fake news. Cowboys say no
Zero2Cool (22h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.
beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?
beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you
wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down
Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
