A heavily backed public road team in a prime time game.
The top two bets won last week and almost everyone and their g-ma will be on the Patriots.
The line seems a little fishy, the Colts don't have that much of a HF advantage and the Patriots have been really good on the road.
This is almost becoming about Brady vs the NFL. Brady is really good, but the NFL has tons of ways to influence a game with all these rules. And as much as some of you people seem to support Bradys side of the story, I would think the overwhelming majority of the public are on the other side and would love to see Brady fail in this game. If there is some questionable calls, it will go over better with the public and in front of the home crowd.
I think this has all the ingredients for shenanigans to happen. I'm not trying to talk anyone out of playing the Patriots, but I would at least wait to see how these other highly backed teams do first. You definitely want to Saints to cover tonight.
