Week 2 NFL Early check

The public is on the steelers hard I see since the line has went to a pickem. I almost like a batch-led steelers team this week over a very very rusty roethelisberger-led team vs a good team.

I will wait this one out and see how the injury report shapes up.

The public got fucked up by the books the past week, 5-11 is what I saw. Shit, even I went 8-8 on every game and 6-2 on the pick 8 on bowmans.

I like our chances against the Steelers, but it will be close. The Jags will benefit from the fact that they played a good 3-4 D in week one and did a good job of protecting Byron which is the key to the offense being successful. This one will likely come down to special teams and turnovers... should be a good one, can't wait!

Niners will win outright.

Stardust virgin line had the Steelers and Jax at a pick to start with, the early, and considered sharper money went to Jax and pushed it to -1. Since then it has been bet backdown to a PK, probably by public money.

FWIW

[GeoffM]

-1, what does it matter. There will be a winner in this game and no tie. I not so worried about losing by a point either, I'd rather it be a win or lose money situation. Pushes can be boring sometimes.

[Penguinfan]

The difference between -1 and PK is obviously insignificant to the final bettor, but do you really think I would post something about sportsbetting that was useless??

The Stardust is the first book to release lines for the following week once the current week is completed, or near completed. Thus they are referred to as "Virgin" lines. Sharp bettors wait for these lines to come out and jump on anything they think is off before the line moves, thus a line that moves off the virgin number at the Stardust on Sunday night, even if it is just a point, is VERY significant.

Then to have that line move back to the original number tells me the sharp players moved the line and Joe Public moved it back, something to at least consider.

[GeoffM]

I'm a Niners fan myself, but their defense couldn't stop the Ticats from scoring all over them.

Banked.
