It is off the board at most offshore books other than sportsbook and is off the board at some of the houses in Vegas. I can't speak to all Vegas books. Sportsbook is now 7.5 under -180, so the under is getting pounded hard.
I play a few NFL futures for fun, but I don't go very deep on them because I think there are better opportunities week to week and I don't have to tie up my cash nearly five months to cash in. Paying -180 on a future is also a pretty steep price, reflecting a pretty healthy rush toward the under. If you were going to make this bet, you probably should have made it several days ago before it moved so much. I don't like to buy any bet in which I've already lost considerable value from the opener. I also usually like to be different from the crowd, not in the middle of it paying an expensive price. So while this might make sense from a football perspective, it's too much of a Joe Public/lousy value bet for me to make.
