Granted that is a very small spread, but it is strange that only 1 person (knowmo doesn't count) has voted for less than 50% odds of winning when Vegas is currently giving us less than 50% odds of winning.
I'm not going to get into this with you but I will say this: If teams are evenly matched, the odds are usually -3 in favor of the home team.

In a case like this, where the better team hasn't been proven, Vegas odds can't even favor Cleveland.

It's anyone's game, hence -1.5. It'll get closer by Sunday, meaning Vegas most likely will not earn any money from this game.
