I don't believe the line movements are normal. Home favorites 6-0 so far this playoffs and maybe people just jumping on...can't go 8-0 today can it?

How exactly do we think favs being 6-0 thus far impacts today's games? Seems silly to use this kind of logic. The results of other Games have absolutely no impact on result of the next game!

It can if your book has a lot of parlay and teaser money pending from yesterday to today. Look at last week after Seattle won. Pittsburgh's line jump 2 points.

Less games with more action coming in on each. I'm sure teasers scenarios are being played out?

Don't know the answer but yes lines are moving 1-2 pts quite a bit

books are getting their ass handed to them. only saving grace last weekend was the unders. but chalk winning = death for books, especially with the parlays and teasers
cashing. people keep betting the chalk, books keep raising the lines.

i'm a little surprised at the kc line going up today. feels liek public/touts are betting Pitt.

The 6-0 record makes it appear,since all these lines came out at the same time, 4 last and now 4 this week, that the favs lines have been set to low....therefore favs are the play in the minds of the bettors...vegas also knows that they have put out bad lines and maybe they are adjusting based on that also

Seems to me that the line hasn't mattered in the playoffs.
"Just win baby".....and cover the number.
