The Greek opened the Giants at -3 and saw it creep down to -1.5 earlier today, then come crashing through the gate, with Philly now a 1.5-point home favorite.
Several Las Vegas shops have Philly -1 or pick ‘em.
“Crazy move, and personally, I don’t get it,” Kaminsky said (Scott Kaminsky, sports director for offshore site TheGreek) noting it was sharp Eagles money that prompted today’s big leap. “We needed the Giants (before), and now we need them more.”

Treasure Island opened the Giants at -3 on Monday, and after moving to 2.5 later that day, the line stayed there until late this morning. But there’s been a flurry of activity on the Eagles in the past couple of hours, taking the line down to pick ‘em before rebounding back to Giants -1.
“I gotta think this is wiseguys taking the Eagles. And I’ve gotta think people coming in later are gonna go with the Giants,” said Nevill (Tony Nevill, sportsbook director at Treasure Island in Vegas) adding that he’s sticking with New York -1 for now.
“We’re gonna be more of a wait and see. If people want to bet Philly, we’ll take it. It doesn’t make sense to move (more) until we see money.”

Books just f'ing with everyones heads and sucking in the more 'savvy' parts of the public to think they're with the sharps in taking Philly. Just like they've done all season long; Giants will win. Everyone lets the line movement itself get in their heads and dictate decisions they make, when really just do your own capping, calculate your line and compare it to that being offered at the time.
