Money is moving toward the Chargers

Chargers at Seahawks: the markets have moved 7 points toward LAC since Thursday, now 67% for the home side. Elo has SEA at 79%.

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 SEA has not moved. That leaves Elo and the market more than ten points apart, the spot where, over 27 seasons, the market was right and Elo's side won about half the time.

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.
