85% consensus play going down. Never seen that happen before. Seriously, any time you see 80+% of the people at Big Guy on a favorite, or 70+% on a dog, go against.
I like to look at games on their own merits as opposed to whether it is a 'public" play or not...
In this case, Tampa on 2nd road game in a row probably played more of a role in their poor performance than whether more people at 'bigguy' liked it or not.
If I only looked to play against the public, I'd have been all over Detroit and have lost a dime.
Alright. I wasn't saying Big Guy is making TB lose. That would be ridiculous. But when you get that many people on one side they've usually overlooked something, or the line would move. The line barely moved despite heavy one-way action. Would you not agree the linemakers are sharper than the average bettor? If you handicapped this game and thought San Fran was the side, then you saw something the majority could not. Sorry if for some reason you got offended by this line of reasoning. :shrug:
