NFL Betting: T.O.’s Abs Move Line

eagles_giants_1128.jpgTerrell Owens impact is pervasive. If it’s not team chemistry he’s disrupting, it’s the O/U total on tonight’s Monday night match-up between the Atlanta Falcons and the Philadelphia Eagles. And most surprisingly, he didn’t even have to utter a wince-inducing word to move the line. According to Covers, the T.O. factor was what pushed tonight’s points total up to its current lofty 41.5. Most books see this game as a huge under favorite, but according to one, the T.O. factor has to be taken into consideration:

“When you look at the total, you have to remember that Terrell Owens is back in the fold for Philly,” says BetWWTS.com linesmaker Michael Pierce. “He didn’t play last year when the teams scored 37 combined points, so I think the total is just about right at 41 1/2”

We can also bet that the o/u on the amount of sit-ups T.O.’s will do after he scores a touchdown is set at four. He’s a freak about his physical fitness and we say he smashes that over fairly easily.
