are you saying you don't understand what the lines mean?

yea what do they mean?

[damian5000]

yea what do they mean?

Colts +220 means you get 220 back for every 100 you put down. So if you bet $100 on colts and the win, you get to keep the $100+$220=$320

Saints -260 means you need to put 260 to win 100. So if you bet $100 on saints and the won you'd get to keep the $100+$38(100/260)=$138

The point spread lines mean the same, except with Colts +6.5 you're betting that at the end of the game, if you add 6.5 points to their score and they win...You win your bet.

The Saints -6.5 is the opposite. You're betting that if you take 6.5 points from them at the end of the game and they still win, you win your bet.

so am i correct if i say the Colts are the underdog???!!!!???

[damian5000]

No doubt. Saints are the 2.6:1 favorite.

[damian5000]

If you're going to bet Colts, I would go with the point spread though... Unless you're really sure. The bookmakers think people will bet on the Saints at -260. So some people are pretty sure on the Saints. I hate betting the underdog. But I won't just randomly bet the favorite either.

i havent followed football in a while, but didnt colts just win the superbowl and wasnt there like 12 discussions a week on sportscenter debating whether or not Manning was the greatest QB ever?

am i just a nutcase or something?

[damian5000]

I don't follow football at all.... For some reason Saints are the -260 betting favorite though.

Neither team has a good defense, and both used their first round pick on wide receivers, so it boils down to who has the better offense. I think betting on the Colts is a good bet. How can they be underdogs? Unless the game is in New Orleans.
