There's some misunderstanding here about line movement. Of course Vegas wants to balance the money they take - for the most part. But it's not always that simple. The public, in the past 24 hours, is still heavily favoring the Bengals, and yet the line dropped from -2.5 to -1.5 to now -1.
The last time this happened, the public was heavy on the Giants +7.5 vs Eagles, and despite that action it went to +8. They wanted even more money on the Giants, and none on the Eagles.
We saw what happened there.
I expect Sunday to go the same way. And if you pay attention to that stuff on Twitter or Reddit, all you'll see afterward is idiot bettors crying about losing "such a gimme bet". How did the Bengals lose, Mahomes only had 1 leg? How did Cincy lose, they looked so good the week before?!
