A steam move is when a large influx of money comes in on one team resulting in line movement. Smart money is the money bet by the “wise guys”--the professional bettors. They see a vulnerable spread and pounce on it with big numbers. Sometimes the smart money can come in late, when the sharps know a line will move in their favor throughout the week by wagering from the general betting public."
The bookie usually doesn’t want to be stuck taking the other side, so they try to make the other team a more tantalizing bet--by making the point-spread more favorable.The most common steam play is when an opening line is posted and “smart money” immediately comes in on one team. Usually this happens when the public is piling on the favorite when the smart money likes the underdog. And if there is a particular steam play that should rise your eyebrows, it’s when the smart money comes flying in on what you would call a bad or mediocre team. Even smart money is only 58% average over the long-haul if they’re lucky. So it’s difficult to endorse the betting practice of groveling around trying to detect steam like a mountain lion looking for meat In 1st week of the NFL LOL !!!!!. Does that mean you shouldn’t worry if you were going to take the Patriots at home against the Chiefs and a bunch of smart money pours in on the Chiefs? from opening line at +7 and now in most of books[ Vegas] at +9... On one hand, you’d get a better number betting it, but there is always something a little unsettling about being on the opposite side of the smart social betting. You know!! I did not say wise guys & whales and sharps.
Why do you think most wise guys & whales and sharps I know do not bet the 1st week of NFL and wait until 2nd week to bet. They wait for stats,[ Not pre-season]& looking at line money movements[ following the money lines] also after the 1st week. Well where is the steam on Money Line Movements 1st week of NFL??? None !! My Option Only Ladies & Gentlemen Of The Jury[ Rx Members ].This is why I choose to wait until at least after the 1st week of the NFL season before making my bet with predictions.
*** Some stats and information taken from internet sports media and other sources. Good Luck To All Rx Members of 2017 NFL Season On Your Pick & Bets!!!!

popcorn-eatinggif My analysis with information using three Power ratings with a comparison factoring in home team edges. Trying to analyze a clear idea what teams are inflated with the point spread. Looking at stats from many different media sources with the point spreads compared to all three power ratings. Danny Sheridan power rating, Dunkel Index power rating, and the best of all> ~The DVAXN Group 25 NFL Football Outsiders rating [Cleveland OH] ~ >>> Statistics that measure Match-ups in-game productivity///Defense-adjusted line Yards ///Running backs and there offensive line statistics///possession-by-possession basis time in play. I use this as based on model that factors in defense and offense statistics including points scored,points given up, win-loss record, and strength of games played and remaining. It indicates who is actually the better teams irrespective of record of the match-up. The price of success is hard work, dedication & motivation when you are handicapping games with betting success in the NFL. What you bet is your personal business and what bet is mine. Its not how much you bet, its all about winning. Ladies & Gentlemen of jury[ Rx members] My record speaks for itself !!!!!! Lets have a great season and just win !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I disagree, week 1 lines are all off last year. Everyone thinks the BEARS, 49ERS, JAX, EAGLES,BROWNS, are bad teams, they might be but week one they should cover. Week 2 is the worst week to bet. You are going off false results. Bet last years bad team week 1.

I do think you can catch some market inefficiencies. During week 1 people often base the bets off last season. On week 2 they bet based on week 1.

But these are generalizations.

I think three of these four cover or win this week.

But if you've bought into the jags and bet them to open a season the past few year; they've left you broke. I can speak for the Jags in particular. Every year they're "ready" and every year opening week, they're the same old Jaguars and don't cover, usually getting their butts blown off.
