Quote: NareedAccording to the NFL's own site, there are 9 games played at 1 PM EST on week 2.
Dang! You're right, that is embarrassing. I was thinking of 1PM Pacific Time. NEVER MIND!!! Thanks for the correction.
Given so many games, I think it is safe to take an average in this situation. The overtime probability in the NFL is 6.4%. So the probability that at least one game will go into overtime out of 9 games is 1-(1-.064)^9 = 44.86%. That makes the fair line on the YES +123. Currently you get +160 on YES side, so I think that is a great bet.

You're welcome.
Thank my many years of watching football. I'm used to having most games at noon CST. I plan my Sundays around that.

I miss living in the west where games came on at 10:00 or 11:00 AM. And I have yet to meat an easterner who lived there who disliked it.
