    Take the ML. You will lose 400 even instead of 420 if you lay the -105.

    I know this line is going to go down too. The odds oflosing by two ot less doesn't add up.

    Um...what?

    You're out $400 regardless of what happens.

    If you are sold on the Pats, you will want to take them with the points at -105. Carolina has a good shot at winning this game, but it could be close. Would suck to take the ML and lose $400 trying to chase an extra $80.

    If it was -1 I would take the ML but not at -2 or -3.

    At +122 on 5d now, but still seems a little low compared to +2.5 -105, expect like +125. If it's between +2.5 -105 and +115 for you at your book, take the points I think. Could look at push charts to confirm...

    Wait until the props come out come gameday example i had tampa bay +7 and over 34.5. Don't know what the pats will be +5? And over 38? Just guessing of course if the pats lose it likely no more than 3pts my two cents

    The Pats arent going to win and its not going to be close so if you take the meaningless 2.5 and lay 420 to win 400 you lose an extra 20. That is all I am saying. Guey could take his 400 and flush it down the toilet would be the same result.
