Ice... you sure you weren't lookin at the "money line" for the +105...? As far as I know, there's ALWAYS a VIG on regular line football... That's how the bookmakers make their money... They set the line so half the people pick one way, half the other, and they keep their 10% for good measure...

I'm at work, and this stupid firewall is keeping me from looking at any "gambling sites" (thank GOD BTP hasn't fallen into that category yet), so I can't say officially... But, I DEFINITELY haven't seen it before...

First Monday night game in San Diego since '96.....should be a good one....As a Pats fan, I will be routing for the Steelers as the Charges smoked the Pats in Week 4...potential home field tie breaks at stake...never too early to think of that (just ask Indy the alst 2 years).
If I was a gambling man, I would shoot for the under....probably going to be some long slow drives for both teams with lots of field goals.

I've seen this before, but not very often. My theory is that there is too much money on SD (as MVP alluded to) and they don't want to change the actual line. Not really sure if I'm right on this.

I would bet this is a means to intice action on the other side of a line. That is just a guess.

I bet pretty much every weekend. I dedciate my poker profit from Friday to bet on the weekend games. I had MU and KSU were my big bets this week.

Good call BTW Ice... I put a couple bucks on that money line, and I guess I owe you a beer next time you're down in FL...
