Whoa! Last time I saw it was -16.5.

How often do you see a disparity like that in the odds? hahah poor Jags.

Do I hear the sound of Taps being bugled in the far distance? :thcoffee:

Bovada Doesnt have the line up yet. At least not on their mobile app.

Thing is, I'd take the Hawks all day at 19 1/2

Take out anything in the 80s and before, since "parity" in the NFL didn't really start until the 90s and beyond. So, when you think about it like that, it puts this game into perspective as to how good we are and how bad the Jags are. According to that site, only 3 times in the Salary Cap era has a team been 20 point favs (...and none, so far, have covered that spread)

* Nov. 25, 2007: Patriots (-24.5) vs. Eagles. New England won 31-28.
* Dec. 5, 1998: 49ers (-24) vs. Bengals. San Francisco won 21-8.
* Dec. 23, 2007: Patriots (-22.5) vs. Dolphins. New England won 28-7.

I think our Seahawks be the first.

lol, is it to early to do a Tom Cruise impression?!

Actually, what I would like to see is a line on Defensive/Special Teams TDs by Seattle in this game. I'd take the over on 2 TDs, seriously.

Man, it always seems like the games turn out to be close when the spread is so big.

I believe I see Lynch's footprints :biggthumpup:

The link reads "195 point underdogs" which made me laugh.
And still worth a punt...

This to me is the relevant quote from the article:
"In case you're wondering (via Bovada), the Jaguars are 1-6 against the spread in their last seven games, and 0-5 straight-up in their last five. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are 8-1 against the spread and 5-0 straight up.

Place your wagers accordingly."

Man 19.5 points?.. I think that Vegas is tired of loosing money because of the Hawks. There's no way the Jags can cover this spread.

So it went up? Jeez!!

 

[cacksman]

That just goes to show how much the rest of the country and the betting public underestimates the Hawks. 8-1 against the spread? Yikes.

 

[Cartire]

If anyone here actually bets, this is an obvious pass. Thats to many points.

 

[Sports Hernia]

Nope, normally I'd agree, but this Seattle team, in this stadium, against the jags, give the points, don't look back and cash your ticket after the game.
The UW/Idaho State game and that 50+ spread, I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole.......

That 11-25-07 nail biter has to go on coach Bill (unless he sat his starting D!?). It's his responsibility to get his team up for every opponent.

It is a really long flight for the Jags. Diagonally across the country.
