I mean, the Giants were 10.5 point dogs to the Pats, so why did they bother even showing up for the Super Bowl?!! Of course we know lines are flawed! YES, lines are there to balance the money, that is the #1 job. But on balance they are a fairly reasonable guesstimate of strength and weakness. My brother at one time worked for a legal betting syndicate in Vegas, they bet HUGE sums of money on individual games. So there are people "policing" these lines, looking for mispriced opportunities to make a profit. If there is perceived value in the line, ie someone can find out that Boley's hip is a real problem.. that the Giants are vulnerable, they may not sell the Giants but they may bet the Eagles to win the division... it manifests itself in many forms. Summary: we use it because it is a national proxy of relative strength, not because it is a fabulous FINAL indicator of the endpoint.<br /><br />xtian- yes, if we found out anything from 2007, it was to get into the playoffs w a sense of confidence (which they had after the loss Pats 38-35) and momentum.Andy F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07020742034297033233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-73957674555886419692009-09-10T19:55:10.567-04:002009-09-10T19:55:10.567-04:00CHFF also inexplicably picks San Francisco to make...CHFF also inexplicably picks San Francisco to make the playoffs as a 7-9 wildcard.

I don't. But it seems like using the word "objective" with regard to any odds laid by Vegas is incorrect. As you say in your comment here, these numbers -- over/under, spread, etc. -- are derived from casinos' guesses about how to balance competing <b>perceptions</b> of how good a team is, not the <b>real, objective</b> chance that that team will beat its opponent. <br /><br />I'm not saying that casinos aren't really good at what they do -- obviously they print money -- but it seems to me they're not interested in making accurate predictions of what's going to happen, just making sure that enough people bet on both sides of a game so that they can make their nice, clean commission. So the bet is structured to convince people on both sides they can make money, not because there really is, for example, a 75% chance the Giants win and a 25% chance Washington does. Am I wrong here?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857280895461042509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-18325249083131401452009-09-10T07:44:11.222-04:002009-09-10T07:44:11.222-04:00The old adage, pastime... money talks and bullbrow...The old adage, pastime... money talks and bullbrown walks. Over/Under spreads are as objective and as good a method for determining what you will look like and MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT YOUR STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE looks like than anything else I have seen. Sure, if I did not have a day job I could put in all kinds of data and bang something out, but the Vegas odds already did that because they have balanced the money from the professionals who are trying to game those numbers. Put the Giants at 9, the money will flood in. Put the Giants at 11, the money will short it. That is how you get to 10.<br /><br />Look at how the Giants play the AFC West, football's exaltation to garbage. Three of the four teams have new head coaches and are rebuilding (Denver is still in reverse gear). the fourth coach is a loser. We play this division. And the one team who is feasting on this weakness with a score of 10 (SD) is the team we play at home, so the calculas has us 4-0 vs the AFC. That will cure your Boley's and Canty's to some degree. And if both get real good by the second half of the season, 11-5 looks like you missed the boat. 11-5 makes sense at the moment given the vacuum of information we have on those two players.Andy F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07020742034297033233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126451417395202308.post-32159643311051082472009-09-10T06:22:30.057-04:002009-09-10T06:22:30.057-04:00My only question is, where do the total wins for t...My only question is, where do the total wins for the season come from?
