Was my first instinct, too, Bisket. Which is why I'd lay the points.

This would prob be the 'sharp' analysis.

Now think about this. Wouldn't Vegas get just as much 'public' action if this was +8.

This line is set to either scare away 'sharp' bettors that might lay big wood. Or it is to make it tougher on the big money contrarian side of coming through.

This is not a public bait. Public would smash it at +8.

This is why Vegas wins. They mess with the psychology of the bettor with lines. They could care less who public might take, they are lines to confuse all walks of life, IF U LET THEM
