Which, no offense, is a mark against 538. Vegas lines are meant to stimulate betting; they are not a reliable predictor of outcomes.
The Vegas lines are the smartest thing you'll find out there. If they were easy to beat, they'd be out of business. The fact that it's even for the over but -130 for the under means they're stimulating the over because they think it's going to be under. And I think they're right. Too many injuries and trouble for a team that wasn't that hot to begin with.

We also had one of the easiest schedules last yr....this yr is the complete oppositeWhich injuries are going to crater the season? Really, I'd like to know, because last year half the starting OL and defense ended up on IR, not to mention our QB missing a quarter of the season, and the Fins still made the playoffs.
