Ill give you some highlights from the article fromt he link above.

Rancid teams prove to be bookmakers' nightmare

''I can't remember an NFL season with this many bad teams,'' said Las Vegas Hilton sports book director Jay Kornegay, who has been in the business for 22 years. "No doubt, it was the worst day ever for the books.

''We can't attract money on these poor teams. We keep losing on the same teams. They are not even close to covering.''


But it was a sorry Sunday morning for Las Vegas books with public favorites Pittsburgh, Green Bay, Indianapolis, New England and San Diego covering. Houston pushed as a 3-point favorite in a 24-21 win over San Francisco.

"I talked to a few other directors, and it was as bad as it could get in the morning, when you have the favorites going 5-0-1,'' Kornegay said. ''From that point, it's very difficult for the books to dig out of that kind of hole. From there, it's damage control. The parlay liability snowballs.'


The Buccaneers, Rams and Browns are a combined 1-20 straight up and 6-15 against the spread this season.

Kornegay said more than 90 percent of the straight bets made at the Hilton on the Colts-Rams game were on the Colts.

"I can guarantee every book on the planet needs the Dolphins to either win or cover against the Saints. But that's just preventing a nightmare,'' Kornegay said, as the Saints stormed back and the books' nightmare worsened.
