Are these NFL money lines normal?

Reason I ask is because I have been looking at the money line conversion chart found here:

http://www.vegasadvantage.com/html/bettingbasics_misc.html

Scoresandodds.com shows similar conversions.

Take a look at the Bengals game, for example. Bengals are 12.5 point favorites over the Browns tomorrow. The website above shows a money line should be -360/+280. Scoresandodds.com shows the same thing. However, the money line at Guardian is -1000/+700. WWTS has the money on that game at -950/+650.

HUGE difference between -360/+280 and -1000/+700.

I am finding that just about all of tomorrow's NFL games are set up this way, with the favorites costing a lot more and the dogs paying a lot more.

Are the conversions listed in the websites wrong or are the books gambling that the season's trend of low upsets will continue?

Cleveland is +800 at Pinnacle.

Yeah, that chart is BS. This is not an unusual ML for a 12.5 pt fave.

vegas might throw you 2.8-1 on a ML like that but if I'm going to take the browns i better get over 7-1.

To tell the truth, the money lines posted by the books make a lot more sense to me than the money lines shown in the conversion charts. That is, based on what I am seeing in my spreadsheets.

Well, here we are three weeks later and the money lines shown in the charts are representative of the actual money lines offered by the books in the NFL today.

Anyone care to explain this?

Three weeks ago, a 7 to 8 point favorite was around 600/100. Today, all the favorites in that point spread range are around 360/100.

Very confusing.

It looks like that website corrected their error.
