One guy I talked to an hour ago by email told me that if it weren't for the Vikings stopping the Lions on their last two efforts to backdoor, this day would have been a bonanza. He stated that the thing is that pundits that try to predict who had a good week overlook the fact that lines are moved on air so much now and if you look its hard to find even a half anymore. He even went so far as to say they got minimal damage on the Bucs because everyone moved to 5 and 6 in short order and mostly it wasn't because of big action. This lack of divergence has meant that the books offshore are facing less disastrous middles and even more important less action from sharp players who often make decisions to bet based on a half. Countless sharps enter the day with 10 games circled, but only if they hit their numbers. With the relatively light movements so far this year the sharps are generally sitting on the sideline or backing a couple sides. What is up is square action as he says parlays and teasers have never been better. He said that the Pack was one of the biggest liabilities he has seen on parlays as half his best players had them tied in with the Vikes and/or Steelers, but obviously it was only the squares betting them judging by the line movement. So I think its wise as some mentioned here to remember that while a perfect storm could cause major havoc, you might not exactly be reading that havoc right by just looking at line movement.
