No, no, no, no!
Come on dude...
They lowered it to further entice action...
As in...90% of the money was on San Diego at -5.5...
But that doesn't mean a lot of money was being bet...
Vegas lowered it to make it an even more attractive game to put money on...
5.5 to 4.5 isn't a SIGNIFCANT point in the NFL...
The wouldn't have moved it from 6.5 to 5.5...or 3.5 to 2.5...
I'm betting they think it will be a 3 or 4 point game...either way...so lowering it a point from 5.5 to 4.5 in a sport where 3, 6, 7, and 10 points are common finals (like 20-17)...just entices more action on something they consider a lock.
It catches the eyes of the public...
they see San Diego (-4.5) against those shitty Chiefs and are like "hell yeah, that's a lock!" and they bet it...
and Vegas wants that because they are sold on the Chiefs and the cover...
it's why the public LOSES a shit ton of money every year...
Vegas doesn't lose.
