Vegas covering a .5 point on a night the refs gave out 12 penalties.
My opinion is this has nothing to with Vegas directly. After kickoff, Vegas money is Vegas money when it comes to spreads. Bets are done on those initial lines.
But what I do think happens, is that for these shit ass games refs keep the score line very near the spread to keep eyeballs on the TV. Parity in the NFL is just enough where refs can swing the game that much
