For somebody that does not bet on football games, can somebody explain what this actually means?

If Cowboys are 4 point favorites why is everybody betting on Green Bay to win? Isnt the line suppose to represent which team is better, so if the Cowboys are considered better than why is everybody putting money down on Green Bay to win? Shouldn't you bet money on the team that is considered better?

Sorry if these are stupid questions, I have made small bets with friends and coworkers but it is usually the loser has to wear the opposing team's jersey every day for a week or the loser has to buy the winner lunch for a week or something like that. I have never bet actual money on a football game so other than knowing that -4 means Dallas is favored by 4 points, I pretty much have no idea how all the other stuff works.

As a 4 point favorite if you bet on Dallas you have to literally subtract that from their final score. In other words before the game even begins in the eyes of Vegas it's Green Bay 0 Dallas -4

Who's made more money over time, the public or Vegas? Tons of the public bets in the moment and attaches themselves to the flavor of the month teams. Vegas does the opposite.

What the public is doing means nothing in my eyes.

Everyone is betting Green Bay because the media is hyping up the RED HOT RODGERS.
And they're throwing in 4 points.

So even if the Cowboys win by a fieldgoal, people who took GB +4 would win the bet.

Odds say that if you have a good team, you will win the odds most of the time....I am sure there are stats and odds for that....those stats mean nothing to me...you seen how they threw in the disclaimers as long as it was not over 6.5.
Same for teams not so good, as to not beating the odds, or injured teams.

Line already moved to 4.5

Pretty much dispels what OP posted.

Maybe Vegas is expecting an influx of sharp money on the Cowboys later this week, thus moving the line to increase Packer bets......

And the money line has moved in Cowboys favor too opening at -180 and now at -220.

If the majority of money is coming in on the Packers and Vegas is moving the line the other direction, that's an indication Vegas really likes Dallas.

Yea, opening big money went on Cowboys moving the line to 4 1/2.

Maybe more people are betting on Packers but the bigger money moved the line up indicating it went on the Cowboys

I live in Vegas, work construction and build casinos. We have a saying that locals use, no not "what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas," (even though it does). It's "casinos aren't built on winners." Remember that when you bet, the sports books have the sharpest gambling minds you can find making those lines and they're good at what they do.
