Means too many bets have been placed on them to win the SB, would be nice to topple them , of course I dont want to help the traders in Vegas , but definitely do not want niners win , especially this week.

Wait. So you may be on the right side of something like this and you’ve got a problem with it?

SB has nothing to do with this game

Luckily for us, SF is the biggest liability for many Sportsbooks this week. THAT matters
The line opened up at -4 1/2. Went down to -3 1/2. Now it went back up to 4. That would indicate the sportsbooks are close to even. They're going to win either way. No liability in this game.

However, there could be a ton of people that bet the 49ers to win the SB. It won't matter to Vegas because they are going to make up for it with everyone else betting someone else. But they'd probably rather a team unlikely to win the super bowl win it. This is true every year. It's just a matter of how much they win.

I do recall back in super bowl 28 it being a problem. So many people bet the Bills plus the 13 points that had Dallas not covered, they stood to lose big. But I can't confirm this. It could have just been a case of not winning that much instead of losing.

People in here are so coulees when it comes to sports betting! Yet they seem to always comment and have these strong opinions as if they have a clue. Just stop.

According to VSIN, over 70% of the money this week is currently on the Cowboys.

For 10 years, between '86 and '96 I worked closely with a book. Things may have changed. But when you go from a 3 1/2 line to a 4 point line, it's because people are betting a certain way. I'll admit I can't account for the retardation of today's youth.
