Why are the Chargers that much better?

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.
