It always amazes me how players wait until game day to place their bets on games which you know are only to go higher. I usually wait until game day on most of my bets since I'm a contrarian bettor and get better lines later.
If a bettor likes the Saints this coming week, he can still get down at -2.5 at Bookmaker. You know that line is going to hit 3 minimum and maybe higher. So it pays to bet it now if you like that game. I like the other side, so I'll wait until game day to bet it.
