They never miss games. The general public doesn't know shyt and public perception is one of the biggest factors in setting lines. There only goal is to split action 50/50 and profit a little bit off of juice. It's a marathon not a sprint with them. Even though Cleveland is trash, there are plenty in the betting public that have it in their minds that they are always good. If they set the line too short, or +money on Cleveland, they would have lopsided money coming in on the person. They'll eat a loss here and there. There goal is to just never be over exposed on a game. When that happens, the potential loss is greater than that of putting out a bad line that gives an advantage to a knowlegeable gamer. You can often get advantageous lines on teams with huge fan bases (i.e. the Cubs, the Cowboys) for this very reason.
