over/under

Las Vegas - Talked to my man Tony DiTommaso, the head honcho at CG Technology sportsbooks here in Vegas. And when I say sportsbooks, plural, I’m talking the Venetian, the Cosmopolitan, the Palazzo, the Hard Rock, the Palms, the Tropicana and Silverton. Double T is VERY creative with his props. You know about the over/under season win totals, which are basically set in stone once the season starts. Well, NOTHING is set in stone with Tony. He has adjusted his season wins total on the Dolphins, lowering it from three wins down to 1.5 wins. If you were smart enough to buy the Dolphins Under three wins before the season started, you could hit one of Tony’s joints, and buy back the Fish Over 1.5 wins. And if it lands on two wins, BINGO!!!

How much is a QB worth? Leave it to Vegas baby. Three of the best will not be playing this Sunday. Start with Ben Roethlisberger. The line on the Steelers/49ers game woulda opened around pick'em with Big Ben healthy, maybe the Niners -1 or -2. San Fran is now -6.5. Move on to Drew Brees. The Saints/Seahawks game woulda opened around pick'em as well, maybe Seattle -1 or -2. The Seahawks are now -4.5. Finish up with Eli Manning. The Giants/Bucs game did open Tampa -6.5, and now that the NYG have named Daniel Jones as the starter, the line moved...NOWHERE!!! It's still -6.5, which tells you how highly Vegas thinks of Peyton's little brother.
