Team Wins for the Regular Season

Remember last year I won this bet easily by early November. The line at 9.5 is a fair line.

Remember this is not what Vegas predicts the Packers will end up with, simply trying to set a line where both sides of the line are bet.

The article is a little misleading, in that it compares the O/U bet to actual results

Last year the over /under was set at 7.5 wins for GB and they got 14

This year, the over/under is set at 9.5, a (+) two game swing from last year at this same time.

Not at all. Last season the Packers had 13 regular season wins. The projection for this year is 9.5. That results in a projected loss of 3.5 wins this season. Since the only major change thus far to the team since the end of last season appears to be at starting QB, I see nothing misleading whatsoever about the intent nor the title of the article.

Are you sure about that ?

13- 3.5 = 9.5 ?

Did you do that on your fingers or toes ?

I have heard of Chisanbop before but its been a long time since I have seen it in action.

Isn't Chisenbop only whole #'s?

Agreed it's a bit misleading considering a line of 9.5 a "drop" when in fact it's +2 over last year's prediction. I thought the 7.5 was a good # given the 8-8 finish and perceived tougher schedule.

I honestly expected this year's line to be a bit lower - maybe 8.5 or so.

Last year when I saw the o/u was 7.5, I told my father to put all his assets on the over... too bad he didn't listen to me. Haha - not that I blame him, I'm an idiot.
