Carolina has beat everybody all year. They are barely 2.5 at home vs seattle who should have lost to Minny???? Heck they are saying seattle favored on neutral field.

That doesn't make sense to me.

lot of money being bet on these games. line is for what the market will bring in. should panthers be 6.5? would you let people tease the seahawks to 12.5? i never believed they made lines based on what they expect the outcome of the game to be. ill always have the belief they want equal action

I'd guess part of it is that although Carolina is 15-1, they played the softest schedule in the entire league. I mention that not to take anything away from Carolina or even advocate taking Seattle, but just to share information.

Doesn't make sense to me either, which is why I'm on Seattle.

I agree so much with this that I made a thread on it yesterday. Not only Seattle but Arizona and New England yesterday as well.

The public is thinking of the previous game each team played. Also into consideration is a good record like Carolina versus a team with not so good of a record.

Plus Seattle has been to the big game the last two seasons.

They don't make lines for equal action. That might be up there with "I won't cum in your mouth". You think they built those casino sportsbooks with "equal action"?

For the most part, that is the goal of a linemaker...To make 50/50 action.

Dunno HC most of my predictions have been spot on lately

If im a betting man I take Seattle + the points in this one

I am a betting man and I have Carolina, before I saw what you posted.

Never hurts to have a JC prediction going the other way though. You are the biggest mush alive.

Disclosure before you come back and "told you so" me after the game, I have Carolina +4.5 in the back of a teaser. Yes I teased across 0.

I do have a future on Carolina to win the SB though so I am invested that they win outright.

Bol to you. I don't have any money on it (but do have a future in play of a seattle-patriots superbowl) just looking forward to a good game
