First NFL game of the year, looking around town I saw -4.5, -5 & -5.5, game lands on 5....I'm amazed how many don't shop around much for lines. Especially with the NFL!! it's so important regardless the sport, these type of games over a long period of time that land on or close to the number put such a swing in your bankroll.

Exactly
Only the very small percentage in which they are very close or right on stand out in people's minds.
But of course Sharky's main point is it always pays to shop for the best line and there's no disputing that...
played -4.5 early, fully intended to buy it back. +6 sat there for at least one day and when i got around to betting it had already moved to +5 everywhere. lots of 5.5 real late, but i thought the 5 isnt worth anything. games like this is when the books take a hit. so far in football most of the line moves are losers.
