FREAK,

THERE IS NO GREAT DISCREAPNCY IN THESE LINES.

THE MONEY MAKES THEM VIRTUALLY THE SAME.

IT DOES PAY TO SHOP IF YOU ARE REFERING TO LAYING 3 AND A PRICE IF YOU LIKE THE FAV. OR TAKING 3.5.AND LAYING A PRICE IF YOU LIKE THE DOG.

YOUR BASICALLY BUYING THE PRICE LIKE YOU WOULD ON THE GAME.

What intrigued me for the second half was the 18.5 or 19 depending on where you shopped total. That's a highly unusual number even with the defensive struggle we had in the second half...

Any idea what the reasoning would be on that?

May all your bets be winners

D.G.,

IT PROBABLY REFLECTS EACH INDIVIDUAL BOOKS POSITION IN REGARDS TO THEIR DECISON ON THE GAME TOTAL.

Two things, certainly the point was if you shopped, depending on who you liked, you had it pretty good.

Now you say the numbers are right...

.45 for 1/2 point is a tad high don't you think...

FREAK,

NOT IN A HALF TIME,AND CERTAINLY NOT OFF 3 IN AN N.F.L.CONTEST...

Agreed, if you take the price of what the number 3 is worth in an NFL game, you must make it double if it is just for 1 half of an NFL game.
