Does the opening line of seattle minus 3; with the linemakers most likely anticipating ne action right after pats convincing win and their big time popularity as a betting favorite, along with seattle's less than impressive win mean that they figured seattle's true line value was 4 or 5 . If so, would that mean that there is excellent value on seattle now that ne action has moved the line to even or more?

I think that is a great question....I look at it the other way....I think the major sharps (who slammed NE right off the bat) are sharper than the linesmakers. IMO they got the crazy good value. And anyone who bet Sea -3 is SOL


Reality is whichever side you like, you could probably spin it that way to make that pick sound like it has more "value". I just happen to like NE

I believe the line opened at halftime of the AFC Championship game when the Pats led by only 10; don't think it hsd anything to do with how the linemakers felt it would be bet.
