If there’s an opportunity to talk about gambling, I’m probably going to take it. I’m fascinated by it. So when Vegas released their week one odds—even with the season five months away—I couldn’t wait to talk about it. The San Francisco 49ers will travel to Tampa Bay week one to take on Jameis Winston and the Bucs.
Generally speaking, any time the point spread is under points points on the road, Vegas is hinting at the fact that the road team is better. You get three points for being the home team alone, basically.
