    Looks like the Public got buried again

    Especially in the Patriots game. I'm sure many people were trying to bailout on their Patriots play and took the Colts at +7 at the half which also lost.

    I took Patriots -6 and yes I laid down the juice for the win and I am glad I did.

    That fake kick formation has to be the worst flubbed play of the year in the NFL!

    Anyone hear any news on how they did? I would be willing to bet more people had Pack/Pats teased down and the overs in those which crushed. Probably got help from dummies who teased Seahags down though lol. Not many bettors especially serious guys laying serious $$ gonna lay 10ish on road!

    I took Pats -6.5 AFTER the first Colts TD, thank god for the worst play ever AND the blocked extra point at the end

    I hate when teams LET the other team walk down when they're up by 2 scores

    Pitt, Carolina and Indy covering made for a profitable day for the books . Carolina outright even bigger knocking out all teasers and money line parlays .

    I had one of my best weekends this time around (and also last weekend as well). I don't know why any sane bettor would back GB and NE with such gigantic point spreads as this weekend. Watching some of these games I come away with the strong impression that they are deliberately keeping these games close to retain viewership....but that's just me. LOL.

    I got -6.5 during colts first Drive to the end zone. It was at -5.5 after the TD. Live play was where it was at to get the NE spread.

    GT Bets at one point had -7.5 +100 so buying down wasn't too juicy there.

    Usually Belichick goes for the knock out punch and throws late in 4th qtrs. Guy just kept on running the ball. Odd. Almost like he wanted to be backdoored.

    He just wanted to win. ML was the way to go, no way was he losing that game, at the end, he didn't care, he doesn't bet in the NFL. Points mean nothing to him, it's only wins.

    The NFL is the WWE just more discreet. Been fixed for years and if you don't believe it you just have blinders on

    Public is smarter than you think. Public doesn't bet -8.5. Public teases or bets ML.

    It's fixed. That's why they have spreads. Easier to fix a spread than telling players to lose on purpose on MLs.

    Lol yeah Mag I'm sure Beli just wanted to win no doubt like every week. Think it's just odd he called off the dogs most of 4th q and team basically quit on offense in a gm not out of reach by any means. Not his style and he knows better 13 pts lead with most of final quarter left is not gm over and why he generally keeps foot on gas till it's outta hand. Maybe it's coincidence gm was primetime or Vegas needed backdoor cover. Not whining I knew better and why I got Pats down to nothing in big tease with Sparty and Pack

    Beli was playing with fire a bit there. Maybe he was "catering to" networks or books who knows honestly. I know one thing though if Colts recover that onside leading to gm winner from Luck. Then after the gm it's Beli with a Apple in his mouth being roasted with Pagano off the hook for being a dummy answering to Pats fans and media why he quit on offense too soon.

    Aside from the Overs hitting regularly in both College and the NFL, the books appears to be much sharper this year. The Local has been crushing the players lately.

    Of course they're deliberately keeping the games close.
