I love a good conspiracy theory as much as the next sponge, so let's try this on for size. The refs seem to be all anyone is talking about. TV, radio, blogs......refs, refs, refs. It's gotten to the point that Las Vegas is claiming they have to adjust the lines because of them. Ok, if you say so.
It just sounds like a lot of hype and build up, just like you might see with any other commodity. If you believe "they fix" the games, and they want to sucker players in.......maybe today is the day?
The buzz out there, is that this week is the largest average game total in the history of the NFL. Voices in Vegas are basing this solely on the replacement officials. Well, I say......if the officials control this, than they have COMPLETE control. If they are now suckering bettors into thinking the "overs" are locks.....isn't it time to go the other way?
It's not like "overs" have been the flavor of the day this season, and they are adjusting the numbers to catch up. Totals have an expected mix of overs and unders so far this season. I think it's about 3 games above .500 right now.
So, I'll back the conspiracy theory up with "under" plays on every game with a total 45 or taller.
One Unit Plays
TBay/Dal Under 45'
Det/Ten Under 47'
Cin/Was Under 49
KC/NO Under 52'
Atl/SD Under47'
Pit/Oak Under 45'
NE/Bal Under 49'
