Is this Reverse Line Movement in Cinci/NYJ

[chonce]

Or injury related?

I am seeing Bengals ML at -125 which seems awfully low. But I don't trust the consensus numbers I see on the web -- anyone here know a bookmaker, or would have any clue if this line movement is due to sharp money, or something else?

This game is officially a pick-em. The books are begging me to bet it and I trying to hold off....it seems like good value. Cinci start off hot, typically. Fitz was a late arrival.

But the reverse line movement scares me (assuming the public is on Cinci -- I don't know for sure).

Hey Chonce, I'm looking at my early lines from April and see Cincy at a PICK or -1, pretty much right where it is now. Honestly not sure about this one. I only have Bengals for a low confidence pick in my ATS office pool.

If you are looking for reverse line movement, check out the Jags down to +3 or +3.5 now when 75%-80% of the public is on the Pack!

BOL brother!

Its an emotional day in NY. And lots of money and people compared to CIN.

Good point Slurve. Jets have a bigger fan base, of course, being in New York (and today is a day when casuals might make bets).

Also, as Bobby mention, this line was like this at first, than was bet up to 2.5 or so and now back down. Early money usually doesn't come from casuals, so maybe the Bengals aren't as square as I think. In any event I already took the bait - Cin PK (-110) - 1 unit.

Small but if I am intriqued enough to start this thread, I will go with my gut.

And Bobby I agree the Jaguars game checks every box. Ivory is out, but they have depth at RB. It takes some stones to bet the Jax but i think it is the right side. I am just not sure I have the stomach to make what I expect is the right play.

Right? Like if I had to work and didn't have the ability to watch the game(s) I would probably put 2 units on it. I think they cover, but I think people who bet them, and watch the game (or Red Zone) will be sweating bullets the whole time!
