Quote:The Vegas line isn't a score prediction, it's a tool to get people to bet as close to evenly on the game as possible.

 

TO MY POINT .... The correlation is the fact that the injuries are not significant enough to cause a significant bias to anyone's score prediction.  Example: Joekel is questionable.  If Joekel plays, does an 80% Joekel really change your opinion on the score outcome?  NO   That's way Vegas is comfortable with putting the line on the board.  Even if all of our injured players start, they are still not 100% so there is almost an equal trade off of our backup playing at 100%.  Remember, when people are listed as Probable that means they are playing.  If someone is doubtful, there is most likely a 25% or less chance of them playing.  As such, that only leaves the few players that are listed as Questionable.
