Don't expect it to move off of the 3. What worries me is Pat's owner Robert Kraft's health. Did you see him mumble after Brusche presented him the trophy?

I think Kraft's condition is self inflicted. He enjoys his beverages. I've witnessed a couple of opening day speeches he's given after Super Bowl winning years and wow was he bombed. I'd put alcohol as an overwhelming favorite over health.
You may be right that it won't move off 3 but I'm thinking at some point during the 2 weeks they'll be a big hit to move this to -3.5/-4. I'd buy Atlanta at that point for some. We'll see.
I would be surprised if it goes to 3.5 would think sharps would be all over Atlanta there - Quinn is going to play defense more like the Texans did and play man and blitz - difference is Atlanta's offense will score points. I can not believe Pittsburgh sat in that zone defense all game. I like Atlanta plus the points.
You'll see plenty of movement on the moneyside of the 3. Just enough to confuse the every increasing novice bettors. With this key #, if you move anywhere off of the 3 and game lands, the unemployment offices will be filled with sportsbook operators. Corporate doesn't want to hear "sided".
I believe this game has to go to 3.5 for one thing the total tells me high scoring 2nd thing a high % of the games the spread doesn't come into play and most inportant do the books want to drop 100's of millions in the state and wind up with a push.
If that's the case OT, then why didn't they open it 3.5 dog -25?
It's a better opening number then 3.5 and will draw more two sided action right now. They have two weeks to lock up what juice they can and then take there stand and go to 3.5. It will never go down to 2.5 that will never happen so there's only one way to go. Would you like to bet another dinner this game goes to 3.5 and possibly to -4 at very least stay at 3.5.. If they opened 3.5 regardless of juice they would get killed with Atlanta Money and then what do you go down. No IMHO this was the only number they could have opened with.
How about a WA number including Las Vegas and lets forget juice I say it closes -3.5 or higher you say it -3 simple. They have to come off the -3 at some point and when they do I don't believe there going to go back. Just an opinion.
I have to go feed the cats and Fish now that's what you do when get old see you later. Maybe going to the rock tonight to play poker.
Did you hear about the big brawl they had in there last week. The poor card room mgr got nailed trying to break it up. Security took care of things though.

Total is up to 59.5 also, no play there
This is what I am thinking too
