Sports books hate football games with point spreads that hop between the favorite laying 2¹/u2082 and 3. As a result, many have been making tough decisions about Friday night’s annual “Snoopy Bowl” dress rehearsal featuring the Jets and the Giants.
The line opened near pick ’em, but the Jets were bet up fairly quickly to -2 and -2¹/u2082. Action continued coming in on the Jets at -2¹/u2082 . By midweek, many shops globally were charging additional vigorish to lay 2¹/u2082 points (instead of the standard -110, Jets backers might be charged -115, or -120 for example). The Westgate in Las Vegas was the first to test the full 3 points.
