You here it all the time - "that is the square side" "smart money is on ----" I loved the Jets coming into this weekend, but quickly realized looking at the lines and large amounts of money bet on "sharp" sides for Nfl yesterday that it was going to be a good day for the public "joe" bettors. - I stated so much in my weekly email to my followers. The first two weeks of the season were very lucrative for smarter bettors and they came out and threw heavy money down yesterday on teams like JAX, TENNESSEE, RAMS (myself included), Minnesota, Denver. And got slaughtered. So who is really chasing tonight? I believe its the smarter bettors, and they’re chasing big... The line suggests that opening at -1 moving to -2.5 back down to -1 to give everyone one last chance to go big on the Jets and push it back up to -2.
Even though the bet % is heavier on Chicago my sources have more money coming in on the Jets at 2 locations while the other one has more money on Chicago.
Bottom line.. This game is a toss up and should not be anyone’s max bet. The Jets are not the smart money side tonight IMO. But good luck either way.
