Default Eagles a Trap?

Living in the Bay Area has made me very acclimated to the Raiders absolutely terrible performances, and this season has not disappointed. But why would Vegas make the like -14? And why isn't it moving more if 80% of the public is on the Eagles.


Might be a no play for me, but the Raiders really are terrible and trap or no trap, this seems like a gift. What do you all think?

Its a gift.

-14 is the highest lines of the season, and books don't want to give a home team too many points.

Besides only 55% on Eagle. Check SBRODDS.com

Oh I was looking at wagerline, said that 80% were on the Eagles. I tend to trust SBRodds a bit more though, just hadn't checked yet.

Yeah, I'll probably play the Eagles, I'm just afraid of a trap. The home team argument does explain the line being so "small" though

Oakland often does this at home. They pull out a surprising performance against a good team.

Very true about Oakland at home.

I wish I wasn't so heavily invested in the Eagles in several parlays and teasers. If they could even come back to win -7 for teasers...
