Maybe you can clear something up for me. Why is it that all I hear about is "Sharps/Wiseguys/Good Bettors don't play teams, they play numbers", yet I see these same sharps/wiseguys taking numbers like +6.5 (instead of -6.5)?
I've also seen +5.5 taken instead of -5.5, etc... If they are playing numbers and not teams, why wouldn't they be on the other side of those numbers?

It depends. Playing 7 vs 7.5 was huge for SF bettors last night but there are also cases like NYG -6.5 this weekend where it's obvious books are begging for NYG money.
The way I look at it is get the best number you can for a bet you've already decided is a good one... Not the other way around, i.e. just betting a game because you get +3.5 or something like that.
