Question Middle ML & PS

What percentage is needed to place on GreenBay ML and Pittsburgh PS where you could hope for a middle and not risk losing anything?

Thanks in advance

ok, unless there was line movement (opened at 3, at which point you took the points)

then later moved to a pk, how exactly would expect to take a 3 point middle without a possibility of losing one of the sides without juice?

even in the scenario I laid, the best scenario, you still are exposed to a minimal amount of juice

Spot on Romo. In the scenario in question, Green Bay would have to win by less than 3 points. If they won and convered (which turned out to be the case), the player breaks even. In most cases, you have to play the "comeout" line if you believe that you see a line that is way off. Then you have to wait until the line adjusts to what you believe it should be. This is very difficult in the Pro game, because the lines normally do not change a lot. The College game is different, because there are so many more games being played on the average week.
