no ridley or gage. they still have pitts and patterson though but the offense is hobbled and their D isn't that good. this is a very winnable game for the jets and could build momentum
That tells you all you need to know. Vegas doesn't care about anything other than the facts and they are rarely wrong.
vegas also always swings 3 points to the home team https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/nfl-odds-how-much-home-field-advantage-worth-spread Basically means they see this as an even matchup. If we were the home team we would be 3 point favorites and since it's in london there isn't really an actual home field advantage
Interestingly last year was the first year ever that road teams won more NFL games than home teams. Maybe because of no crowds but this year road teams have won more games so far. Which makes some speculate that the traditional 3 point home spread advantage is deteriorating.
normal variance early in the year. Betters still have the mindset of home field advantage. the idea of vegas is to screw the betters not predict the winners
no, if we were the home team the line would be pick ‘em. In atlanta, we would be +6. If they saw this as an even matchup, the line in London would be pick ‘em, as home field is non existent and would not play into the line.
That's not how home field works. Doesn't matter if it's in london, they still account for the home field advantage. I couldn't find much to touch on it but found this https://www.playtenn.com/sports-betting/home-field-advantage/ " Which team has the advantage at neutral venues? At first glance, it would seem there is no home-field advantage in games held at a neutral site, but that’s not always the case. You can bet oddsmakers are taking more than a first glance when they set the lines and so should you. Don’t ignore exactly where the game is being played and try to see if oddsmakers have factored in home field advantage in the lines even when there doesn’t appear to be one. Ask yourself: Is the site neutral or is it much closer to one team’s home? Does the time zone or weather give one team an advantage over the other? How big will the crowd be, are they likely to have an impact on the game, and will they support one side over the other? What’s the setting? Is it a new arena, an old one, a big cavernous stadium, or a small one? What kind of impact would you expect this to have on each team? Which team could somehow enjoy a neutral-site advantage? Finally, ask yourself if oddsmakers have baked in any home-field advantages into the lines and adjust your betting accordingly."
