These props confuse me

[prospector]

could someone explain how this works:

Team To Have Most 1st Downs
Patriots +6.0 100 - Rams -6.0 -130

Team To Have Most Punts
Patriots -3.5 105 - Rams +3.5 -140

shouldn't both of these props be just straight team bets?

i expect Pats to have more than 3.5 punts and the Rams to have more than 6 1st downs.

whaaazzzzup?

 

[The Big Tease]

this prop is just like a game with a score. for example....the rams punt the ball 2 times, and the pats punt it 5 times, the the final is 5-2, then you add the spread in and see who wins the bet

ah, i see, thanks Big Tease.

so the prop is basically will Pats have +3.5 punts to the Rams
ie: 7 - 3 would be a winner.

that makes it a bit more interesting, doesn't it !

thanks again for clearing that up for me.
