A) How can Las Vegas have such control of games? Let’s say the Over Under was 40 points. How do odds makers not only determine that but how are they so accurate?

B) How are the spreads translated through the players’ eyes. They seem to go for useless TD’s at the end of games; they also don’t score when it’s needed.

I can see how this happens in college with a botched kick here or a
botched kick there….But how does this happen in the NFL?
I understand money is a part of the equation. But how does the aspect of money get down to the players? Do they bet for or against their own teams when the spread is within reach? A perfect example was last night’s 49er game. O/U is 38. Seahawks scored a useless TD at the end to make the O/U 38. Do players know the O/U is 38?
