The vig should be enough to keep the casinos and sportsbooks afloat.

LOL Yes.. it is. But what good corporation doesn't look for way to MAXIMIZE profit? All they need are a handful of really terrible, unexpected upsets each week... to make sure they bust a lot of parlays and pull in a few suckers.

I've tried, for years... to figure out which ones are fixed each week. They do a good job of making it seem random. ;-)

It's hard to predict... But, I can often see it now, early in the 1st quarter, by the way the refs are calling it.

I don't gamble, but it I did, I would go AGAINST whatever the guys on sports radio (which is now explicitly sports gambling radio, with all the talk of props) push. Boy was everybody high on Cincy, even talking moneyline bets straight up. I would have gone KC, though it was quite close. Philly was needed to break the teasers.
