Curious to know your reasoning behind the sf spread being too high. If home field is worth 3, then if this game were in ATL it would be -5. That doesn’t seem unreasonable for a team traveling cross country following a big division home win. When I first looked at this game before seeing the Vegas line I pegged it at -13. If I were going to play this game, ATL would be the side, but not by a wide margin.
spring line was sf -1.5 - Yes but you have to adjust for inseason performance in my ratings this year ATL has dropped 4 and SF has gone up 7...That's an 11 point swing so the true line should be -12.5
this is a classic sandwich gm This alone is the reason to Fade SF
Dont forget Shanny took ATL to SB and made Matt Ryan an MVP - they have motivation
I like the play on ATL but am wary the line dropped on Monday but is rising again, might wait for a better number on ATL
