Money is moving toward the Bears

Eagles at Bears: the markets have moved 5 points toward CHI since Saturday, now 39% for the home side. Elo has CHI at 39%.

A move of this size in three days is unusual; most NFL lines drift a point or two all week. It usually means news, an injury report, a quarterback decision, or a large bet, that the market is pricing before it shows up anywhere else.

Elo does not see news, so its number for CHI has not moved. Elo and the market are still within ten points, so The System simply averages them.

The System weights the market three to one over Elo, so it follows a move like this most of the way. If you have a pick on this game, the question is whether you know why the money moved.
