Yes.
A rookie QB isn't going to beat Rex's defense and -3 is really just asking who you think is going to win.
Would you bet it???

I have no clue how betting works, so I'm not sure if that's good or bad. Anyone care to enlighten me?
I wouldn't touch this game.![]()
That's probably a good thing. I stay away from any serious betting involving point spreads. You've got to follow the entire league very closely and you MUST bet on every game, every week. Otherwise, you're just pissing money away.
I want to try it one year, when I've got the money to do so. I've kept track of my picks for the last 3 years: 52, 56, and 51 percent (I only would have made money in 2010). 2 games below .500 so far this year. This was a rough week.
Not exactly, but pretty much. If you like a team to win, you probably think they'll win by at least a FG. Unless you think it's going to be a 23-21 or 10-9 game or something like that.
The favorite is -x because that's the number of points you're subtracting from their score in the bet.
Example:
Philadelphia opened at -3 over Baltimore. The line was bet down to -2.5 by kickoff.
The final score was Philly 24-23 Baltimore.
Depending on when you placed your bet, you would either subtract 3 or 2.5 from Philly's score when determining the outcome of the bet.
For the purposes of betting, the score was:
Philly 21-23 Baltimore, or
Philly 21.5-23 Baltimore
Either way, the people that bet on Baltimore won, even though they lost the game.
Jets -3 is easy money. But, I'll never bet on a Jets game.
Jets 24
Fish - 22
Don't bet it!
OK...Look here we go..If you want to bet football, stop looking at who is playing who and just look at the points. Your work has been done for you by the bookies, its simple you ONLY bet games that are 3.5 and 5.5, you take the dog and the points..If you bet on certain teams and you think you know more than the bookies you are gonna loose...Go ahead keep track of the games you would win if you bet this system...

Regarding the Dolphins last game: Do the Raiders suck THAT badly or are the Dolphins a legitimate threat to us in the AFC E?
