Please continue to talk down the Panthers. Please continue to not give the credit where deserved. Please find stupid crap to criticize Cam about that has little to do with football. You are correct that they are "overrated, lucky, and basically smoke and mirrors." Please continue to give them fuel to burn through the rest of the NFL. We relish the hate.

It's already begun. Vegas has us as underdogs. 7 games of difference between us, and we are underdogs. The knob slobbing of the Cowboys is real yo...

Vegas has nothing to do with the media, experts, or league.  It is about the stupid betting public.

All you'll hear this week is about Romo and Dallas .. Don't worry ..

Exactly. They are the worst team in the NFC, and need to win 5 of 6 just to get to 8-8. But hey, they're back.

Quick Note: I realize the hypocrisy in my statement, considering that our cats had 3 wins in week 12 last year too..........but Fug Dallas anyway, because we did have a tie!!

Vegas is pretty good usually, and they dont really care about splitting bets

They win because their lines are about 50/50 in game results.  That is how they make money with 10% vig as results cushion, not trying to split bets 50/50.

If they were just trying to split bets you would see outcome differences in score versus spread over long period of time with popular teams.  You don't see that.  It is about 50/50 on results and 10% "vig" gives house the edge over long term if results variance is within that margin.

Also, if the "they give popular teams extra points" theory was true smart bettors would just bet against the popular teams every week because they are getting extra points.

That doesnt mean they dont hedge which is why spreads move as money moves to one side.  But that is to lower risk more than splitting bets.

So house has the edge as long as results stay roughly 50/50 no matter who is betting what

Ok, so from a guy that knows little about this stuff to one who knows a lot, how do you explain Thursday's line? 

What factors are they seeing that we aren't?

I dont know, I think the Panthers are good pick at this line and I imagine it will move over next couple of days.

They may be valuing Tony Romo too high, home team gets extra points, and short week with west coast travel for Panthers could take some points away from them.

To be honest, i dont know though.

I'm not saying you are wrong but I cant find an explanation of line setting that does not say it's about getting the money split evenly.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
