What I always find most interesting is the differences in odds across the country.
Would regional favoritism account for this? I can't imagine what else would...
Goes to show odds are not necessarily dependant on who might actually win or lose, but where the money will fall as a result of where the lines are set.

I don't have wclc NFL numbers for this week in front of me.... but comparing the numbers Troutman posted to the Ontario ones ( http://proline.olg.ca/ ) there is some pretty drastic differences.... including an option in ON to double the winning margin (team must win by 8 or more instead of 4).

i.e. Det pays 2.70 there, compared to 3.05 here
PIT/PHI tie there is 3.10, here is 3.4
etc.

Strange....
