Would you move off the 3? I sure as hell wouldn't. I look for this to be a low scoring game, most likely determined by a FG. I would increase the vig, but not move off the 3.

I see a few books at 2.5 now.

Any opinions?

I would keep it on the 3. It would be different if it was just a run of the mill game on an NFL Sunday buried amongst others. But it's a playoff game with only one other that day and is also the later game so everyone will be chasing on it. Given the high volume of action, I am sure most books would not want to be liable for lots of dollars if it falls on the 3.

Depends on my clientele. But most likely I'd hold the 3 and charge 25 cents to buy on or off. A 20-cent line of -3+105/+3-125 should work now.

Movement from 3-2.5 is huge.

I have a feeling the books think the Panthers get the job done.

Sounds good until you try to explain what "-3 +105" means to your very square players. (almost) not even worth it to alter the standard -110 format.

Well if I HAD too book-110/-110 then I'd have to go with -2.5.

CRIS/DSI have Carol +3 -120, best value out there if you want that side. Almost everyone else has 2.5's.

I think they have to move it - money is probably coming in 9/1 on Carolina.

No way its that lopsided, maybe the ML but not the spread
