    Default NFL linesmakers

    There are fourteen NFL games this weekend, and three of them have no lines because of a QB issue. Nothing out of the ordinary, you might say. But look at the teams.

    STL - who cares if Bulger starts? The team sucks. How many points is Bulger worth on the line that we're going to see here (with Minny coming to town).

    PHI - McNabb or Kolb. So? Kolb did very good last time around. Put up a f*cking line.

    SEA - OK. Hasselbeck or Wallace. I get that. That's a difference.


    Meanwhile... The total keeps dropping in the NYG game because Manning is uncertain. Here the news came in too late for the linesmakers. But the side is still at -16. Instead of 29-13 the projection is now 28-12?


    Am I wrong to suggest that this last game shows that linesmakers are way too uptight about these things?

    the 2 most prominent "linesmakers" lvsc and kg had lines on sunday night for stl and phi gms, so its not the linesmakes, it's the sportsbooks that wait for cris/greek/pinny to go up - by the way, monday, hilton in lv had lines on both stl and phi gms

    It would be nice if matchbook put up lines when this happens. It's not like it matters if it's off by a couple points.

    Friday, and only Pinny has a line for the Seattle game (and no total).

    Just for the sake of seeing who's the greatest coward I hope Hasselbeck is a game time decision. Like Eli, by the way, but that line is up.
