The play design is like a sweep, but with the quarterback

That’s the one. That’s why you get paid the big bucks, Lisk. Was a beautiful play call.

I’m looking at covers.com and both road teams are the consensus. Not sure where you are getting your info, but covers is always a pretty good indication of the public thought.

Check out PreGame.com, they give you Who’s betting on who, ML, Spread, Exotics. It does have the public on BAL & NYG for the Spread

I would trust these numbers over your website only because I’ve never heard of it and all of my gambling friends use covers. Over 4000 submissions so you get a good idea…

Thanks. I found that “consensus” tab and see where it lists %. Big difference between the sites on that Ravens game. Covers had it listed as 61% on the Texans. Which throws a wrench in playing the Texans today.

The play design is like a sweep, but with the quarterback, rather than a handoff to the tailback. They just relied on getting the Saints thinking pass coverage out of the shotgun, then immediately pulled into the sweep, and outnumbered the Saints

I don’t use covers.com, so didn’t see where it had the % for the betting public. Where is that? I got % from sports.com. And, yes, the Giants are the public play which is what I was saying. From what I saw on sports.com, the public was on the Ravens though.

after he makes the bootleg action. look it up in a football glossary, or on Wikipedia.

The name comes from the fact that on a play action the quarterback often hides the ball from the defense by his thigh to make the run look more convincing. This is similar to the way bootleggers would hide whiskey in their trousers during Prohibition.

“Bootleg” is 100 percent about the action of going opposite the play direction.

See this is the part I wasn’t sure of. Should probably have found a replay before I said anything.

All home teams have never won in the Divisional Round of the playoffs. So, odds are one of the games today will be won by the road team. The public is already heavy on the Giants +the points and they’re on the Ravens -the points. Which means Vegas wants the Packers and Texans to win. What Vegas wants, Vegas gets. See, for instance, the 49ers yesterday. Something like 80% of the action on that game was on the Saints and Vegas didn’t move that line at all until the very end, and only a 1/2 point at that. Food for thought.

The bootleg describes the action of the QB versus the action of the rest of the offense, not what he actually does with the ball.

Fair enough. I didn’t think it could be a bootleg unless he made some effort to hide the ball, and not just tuck and run, but I haven’t seen many replays, anyway.

Looks like my best hope is to pray Eli doesn’t suck.

Delhomme comes in late and pulls an Alex Smith.

Would be funny to see the QB that got John Fox (admittedly a pretty good coach) fired, go further in the playoffs than he did.

One question… Spencer called it a bootleg. When I saw it, it looked more like a straight QB run (almost like a wishbone without the wing). Doesn’t the body have to get turned (body facing to pass) for it to be a bootleg? That’s what makes it a ‘bootleg’
