illone Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 If the Skins were really not improved then why does Vegas favor us by 6? Looking at the consensus thus far, 58% of the bets are on the Redskins. Now that does not mean 58% of the money is on the Skins, but at this point more bettors are siding with the Skins on Sunday. What does it all mean, you might ask? I threw down a small wager. Normally I don't bet with the heart but I really believe in the Skins this season and I think Orton and the Bears have NO shot. $500 and I have the line at 6 points. If you're gonna grab this do it fast because it looks like the line is set to move up again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Redskins giving up 6 pts......this game along with the Philly/ATL game (phi by 1) and the Packers taking 3 points are done deals. These are the 3 games I have put money down on.

KingGibbs Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 On Redskins Report lastnight, George Michael said that the line went from 71/2 to 6 and now down to 41/2. Are the negative vibes put out by the mediots affecting the line? I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I think so too. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsNatsFan Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 One thing to remember, maybe not fondly, is that Joe Gibbs usually plays to run out the clock and end the game when he has a lead, rather than scoring more points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DialSux Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 Not much of a factor. Most coaches run the clock when they're in the lead. Also, when it comes down to it, do you really think Gibbs wouldn't try to score with several minutes to go and 6 pts ahead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walking Deadman Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I wouldn't be suprised if the line drops to 3......but again, I think the Skins will do better than that. 24-10 Skins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinstzar Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 The under is the play here. 33 is a bonus. I think it will be around 32 by kickoff. I think the play this year will be to ride the skins when they are dogs, not favs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
