Merriman suspended- Steroids
Sources: Merriman To Be Suspended
Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman has been notified he will be suspended for four games for violating the NFL's steroids policy, league and team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. Already took the rams +10. Merriman is their best defender and his loss will hurt. |

If you know it, the books know it. If the line moves, its going to be because the public is going to see "value" that has already been accounted for. You might be better off getting chargers at a lower price.

The Chargers line is already over-inflated. You'll still be getting a bad price for SD when it moves.

I think the line should be around 7.5 or 7; even before the Merriman suspension. And on a side note; being a former Terp; the suspension hurts. For years I have been making fun af a coworker (hokie) and all their off the field "situations". Boy am I going to hear it Monday morning. |

Re: Merriman suspended- Steroids
During the pre-season, I saw a tv interview with an NFL player in a t-shirt, who looked like the Incredible Hulk.
"Wow. Who's that guy?", I asked. "That linebacker from the Chargers." "LINEBACKER???" I really couldn't believe a linebacker could be so huge. |

Line dropped to 8 at olympic (9 in some other places and off the board in other places). Obviously the oddsmakers know injuries before the general public but i am also sure that some news leak out before vegas or the offshore outs know about it.
So did the line drop because of the news or because of the betting action? who knows, either way there was value to be had at +10 last night that is no longer available. |

Re: Merriman suspended- Steroids
Heard on espn this morning that Merriman is appealing the suspension and will be playing this weekend.
In addition, I never like taking a side primarily based on one player missing a game, particularly a defensive player. |

Re: Merriman suspended- Steroids
Yes, Merriman is appealing. He gets to play this week and next week, during the suspension process, regardless of outcome.
