DMD Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 NE is favored by 21 points over the visiting Colts. Cannot remember seeing a 20+ point line though I am sure there has been. Other oddity - 7 road teams are favored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nelsosi Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 20.5 or 21.5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm pretty sure the Pats were 20+ point favorites 2-3 times during their undefeated season, and I think they actually covered a couple of those. But I wouldn't touch it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'd probably take it if I were to bet on games. I mean, bellicheck doesn't exactly call off the dogs and a chance to trounce the colts would be to good to pass up IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Okay, I did some research and the Pats were favored by 20+ points three times in '07. They did not cover ANY of those games. There have also been 3 Superbowls with a spread of 20+ and only one of those favorites covered. So in the 6 examples I found only one 20 point plus favorite covered.

So in the 6 examples I found only one 20 point plus favorite covered. In 07 the Pats started off RED hot, only to fizzle out gradually down the stretch before finally losing in the Superbowl. And any spread on a Superbowl that is 20+ is f-ing stupid, talk about disrespecting a team that was good enough to become conference champion and make it all the way to the big game. I can't imagine the Pats don't cover the spread this week. The Colts are as soft as an NFL team gets, and the Pats and B.B. aren't known for taking days off.

I doubt you have met a real life bookie - these guys are the biggest degenerate gamblers of all time and either gamble away far more than they won or blow it all on coke, hoors and cars. now that being said, I just bet your paycheck on NE-21 good day sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LooGie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Any hope? Orlovsky named starter well, there's all that film on him from his titanic season with the might 0-16 Lions...so that means Belichick will actually have film to study and disect this poor guy. updated (not yet official) loogie-pick: NE 38 IND 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I would not touch THIS game..... but I'll take GB over the NY Littles this week, no matter what the spread is. Sorry Whomper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripleshot Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'll take the over. Belicheck will never remove his hands from an opponent's throat. With Brees throwing 5 TDs against the Giants this past week, Belichick's going to push until Brady throws six against the Colts. It's not the usual one-upping of Peyton he normally goes for, but he definitely wants everyone talking about his QBs game instead of any other QB.

gbpfan1231 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Thus demonstrating yet again why the number of poor bookies is very low. Maybe I don't get what you are saying but why would you make that assumption off what rattsass wrote? If the majority of the money was on the underdog then the bookies lost - if the majority of the money was on NE to cover then they won.

SLAYER Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'll jump all over the Pats on this one. stomp stomp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'll jump all over the Pats on this one. stomp stomp Yeah I don't have the jack with which to gamble, but if I did I think I'd be on the Pats too. I thought the Chiefs played them well for about a quarter, and then they stomped all over them. 34-3. The Colts, with Orsucksky at QB, will be lucky to put up a couple FGs and a late garbage TD. 38-13 sounds about right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I"m taking the Colts. I have some money riding on it but I don't wanna divulge the amount or the spread. That spread is money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaterMan Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 IMO Belicheck will lose this game on purpose to make the Pats a wildcard in the playoffs. Teams will play them soft, maybe leading to another Superbowl appearance, but not a win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
