Biggest line move I have ever seen going down

CORRECTION: MOST SIGNIFICANT LINE MOVE EVER

I have seen many times week one dogs open at +3 and move to -3 but the line move on Cincinnati has already moved up to -3.5 and it's still going! My first thought about this game was that there are two teams going in opposite directions and the line move was justified. But this is just too much. There is a sucker born every minute and the line on this game could be proof of that. Everyone that got Cincinnati at a number better than -3 better jump on that hook.

My pick: Denver +3.5

Here 's a nice stat for you :

In the last twenty years 46.12% of all the NFL regular season games
were decided by 7 or less points
and 23.59% of the football games
were decided by 3 or less.


You may think that those numbers support playing the betting line fav,
but you haven't factored in that the underdogs will win approximately
50% of the games over the course of most seasons.

If you bet on an underdog ,
3 things may happen,
2 of the are good
in the right situation
