The Atlanta Braves - Hello darkness

Question for the gamblers here. How do you read line movement like that? Early vs late line movement, or can you get a good idea of who is betting it (sharps vs public)?

On FD 60% of the money is on the Vols and 56% of the bets are on the Vols. Would seem to indicate that both sharps (indicated more by % of money) and public (indicated more by % of total bets) like the Vols to cover so far.

Personally I don't read all that much into early line movement. The first number the books publish is one that they kind of throw out there based on calculations, and they can misread the market off the jump. Line movements later in the week, especially in the hours before kickoff, get my attention more.

Doubled my bet account over the weekend. I always start out the year with $50 and see how far I can go with it.

Finished down $5 after week 1. Won a few smaller bets and lost a few.

I'm at $91 after week 2. The USF win was a big pick for me on a 3 leg parlay.

Thanks for the info

Hide the money y’all, there’s poor people around
 

I feel a lot more comfortable hearing this now than if I heard this 2 weeks ago. Hood has been fantastic. And Redmond is playing at a high level too.

But i do hope we plan on rotating over some extra help for Redmond on obvious passing downs. I think the Syracuse offense is pretty decent, but they didn't have the athletes at WR that UGA has.

As @LotteryPick pointed out earlier it might be more important for the LBs to play a disciplined game. GS is likely to run around a lot, check down, etc.

If GS is able to throw dots that beat our CBs, then so be it, but that would be incredibly frustrating for us to have good coverage downfield but give up big plays and third down conversions because we lost contain on a scramble or didn't pick up a RB on a check down.
