You compared what they did last year with "low" expectations to what the Browns could potentially do this year. At least 2 national NFL guys (so obviously not you specifically) have predicted the Browns to go 1-15 or worse. Nobody was doing that with San Fran last year.Footwedge;1250320 wrote:and this....where did I say the Niners were going 1-15? And minus 130 doesn't mean more people are betting over 7.5. What it means is that the betting market says you must lay 130 to win a 100 to bet over at that bookie joint. Probably paid plus 110 to bet under. BFD. Nothing more or less than that
And odds on a line are usually set at -110 on each side. When the line moves to -130 it's because bets are being laid heavily on that side. Why the hell would they set odds at O -130 and U Even? That doesn't happen. They start the same. They change when people start wagering money on one side over the other. So yeah, it absolutely means more people were betting the over.
It's funny that over the course of about 5 posts you went from San Fran being picked by the public "to go 2-14 last year" to being expected to have "4 or 5 wins" to "I bet if you looked it up it would be 6.5 tops" to "7.5 isn't that impressive". You're clueless. I never said anything about you thinking the Browns could outperform expectations this year. Your example of the 49ers was the stupid part, because a) you were flat out wrong about it and b) the 2 teams' situations aren't even close to comparable.
And sorry for "stalking you". Aka responding to your posts that have directly quoted me and asked me questions.
