Belief in the underdog?
More likely that four people know the fix is in for the Eagles.
Or maybe I’m just too cynical. We’ll see.
Maybe. And maybe they’re just spending some crazy surplus Trump money! :-D
This is the casino trying not to have to take a position... so they post anonymous “$1 million bets” for the Eagles to try and entice stupid people to bet for the Eagles in order to offset more of their patriots bets. Casinos win on the juice... they don’t like taking positions to cover bets when the action is all one sided. When the line moves too much and they have to cover too many bets, they run the risk of getting middled and losing tons of money. Also, to drum up total business in general.
