Lines arent intended to be a "predictor" nor are they made to make betting "fair on both sides". That's laughable really. Lines have one purpose and one purpose only; to get equal money laid on both sides. You'd think someone who's been paying attn to them for 20 years would be aware of this fact.

This. I continue to be amazed at how many people don't understand this.

Vegas' whole goal is to make 10% of all the money gambled. As long as there is even money on both sides they don't give a shite.
