I actually meant to bring this up earlier and in my ramblings just forgot.

The move from 3.5 to 6.5 is insignificant and what a lot of players consider a false move in the line.

Normally when a book is getting killed with too much action on one side they move the line to balance out the money a bit better. You can't tell me people are running to the window to bet the Steelers here, no way. The line should be moving the other way.

Reguardless if the line is 3.5 or 6.5 Pittsburgh still has to win by one more score than a FG, granted they could win by exactly two FG's but that still puts the game and spread on the line during the last drive reguardless and who bets a game if they know it's coming down to the last drive?

What this line move tells me is Vegas wants all the Bears action it can get, and that worries me.

Boy did I get lucky with the Jags game... didn't put a lot on them but what I did was on a +9 line and had they not gone for 2 and made it at the end I would have lost.

Hit me up next year and I'll pass your info on to the guy who runs it. It's run via email, from a guy located in... Buffalo... I think? I've actually never even met him. He was a friend of a friend of a guy that I worked with like 6 years ago. No kidding.

It's a $60 entry fee, and he accepts Paypal. I'm pretty sure $50 of that goes into the prizepool and $10 is for the house (he does a lot of work with this throughout the year, keeping track of everyone's bets and doing the math and sending out the standings every single week, so that doesn't bother me).

Give me the Cowboys +3 this week @Washington. If I were to bet one game, that would be it.
