[Mr KLC]

Are you saying it just doesn't matter who is in/out for the Patriots, more or less? Belichek and his shining ATS record is enough reason for you to avoid betting against this team?

The city of Houston's sports teams are jinxed with situations like this. When a Houston sports team looks like a Goliath, especially their football teams, bet against them. It's in their history.

[rm18]

If this rematch happens in Foxboro in January with Brady the Patriots win by at least 2 touchdowns.

Houston is just another fraud, just like they have always been.

Maybe if other guys are healthy but Pats have a lot more out that Brady. Gronk, Lewis, Vollmer and Ninkovich are worth like 10 points. Pats are the better team but not by a ton.

[MalikHusam]

48 hours to go, is the rookie losing sleep yet?

[WWCD]

It's now a pickem on 5dimes.

[omega]

Unreal that this game is a pickem with Jacoby Brisett starting. Books fear and respect Belichick.

[MalikHusam]

what doyou make this line if jimmy starts? -6? -4.5?

[LT Profits]

Pats -3 with a HEALTHY Jimmy G. If he somehow starts now (which I highly doubt), his shoulder concerns should be enough to keep spread under 3.

[dreamchaser]

I'm still taking NE. They just have that pedigree where their game revolves around week-by-week preparation for their single opponent. Who would have thought they'd be 2-0 already? I think they'll pull off an upset tomorrow.

[QUOTE=JayDr3am;26278786 im sure the line will adjust and NE will be slightly favored [/QUOTE]

lol this is what i was trying to tell LT & omega earlier in this thread.. theres no way in hell, on primetime night, that the texans will stay favorites against NE & BB at home.. its almost impossible. The public will see new england is playing, no matters whos the QB, NE will get pounded till they're favorites. its just makes sense. it happens everytime. if you think this line movement has stumped you so far, wait till game day, around 3 or 4 hours before gametime..

if Houston hits +2 we'll have to wongit!

[Snowball]

Pats are already more concerned with getting/staying healthy than winning
this game. It's off 4 days rest, they will lose to Houston, then hope
Garappollo is ok for Buffalo the following week, seeking 3-1 without Brady.

Belichick thinks long term, he's not going balls out for this game.

3-1 without Brady and a healthy team for Tom's return is A-OK with Bill.

[Smoke]

exactly Money...what were thinking with this thread pal?

You should instead do what our resident charity stiff and a beggar does here on the regular - make threads about nothing and beg for SBR Tokens!!!












stop sucking off your mom's tit, go find a better a job and pay what you owe CLOWN

[pabonaparte]

Smoke could you kindly remove/edit your post? This was a good read prior to these two highjacking it... Thank you so much!

[pabonaparte]

Here is a question for you NFL guys. Suppose you have no opinion on this game and it is quite close to a 50/50 chance for either team. No bet is your obvious move. Now pretend you get a free play but you must only play one side (or one total).

Would you go with NE +3.5 or +7.5 OR with HOU +3.5 or +7.5? Remember you only get to pick one!

[Notorious_Donk]

Patriots "extensively" working out Edelman as backup QB

[Bostongambler]

Maybe he will throw it to himself

Texans

[triplecrown333]

not touching this game, got burned by patriots too many times doubting these fockers, gonna just bet a teaser +10.5 pts on houston lol...

[TheMoneyShot]

I hope Bill O'Brien doesn't fuk this up for me. He's the only guy I worry about.

Big game for him to show the coaching world who's boss.

But if he loses... he's still going to be considered a no good prick.

[pabonaparte]

Texans

Does this mean you trust them more than the Patriots to prevent any big plays on special teams? Or trust Osweiler more than the Patriots QB to avoid throwing for a pick-six at the end in case they have to catch up?

[SBRMAN23]

at this pt if Garop is out I trust Texans to have a gameplan to shut down the run and force the 3rd stringer to beat them over the top. And I trust JJ and Clowney to put pressure on that azz every play.

[NardVa]

The Texans defense want give up more than 17 points. All the Texans have to do is get 20 points on offense to win the game.

[Husker36]

If you took a poll preseason most people would say the Pats will go 2-2 without Brady. Now that they are 2-0 everyone is thinking they are unbeatable. But NOW they are on their 3rd string QB. Houston should win this one.

[Husker36]

The books don't fear any coach or any player. The lines are based on public perception.

Oh I like the teaser play, what other teams you using?


This is definitely Houston game but if they don't the pressure on the rook then anything could happen. I imagine they will blitz a lot and belicheat is going to have a lot of short passes called

[triplecrown333]

going with miami for sure, the third team might be panthers

[BetweenHerCheeks]

Perfect spot for a 7 point Teaser...

NE +8
OVER 33.5

I might even do a bookend double tease, unnatural middle BHC special and throw this one in there as well...

NE +8
UNDER 47.5

[NardVa]

Pats can win only if the Texans had them the game ( mistakes, penalties, turnovers). If the Texans play a clean game, they win easily.

[MoonPond]

After this game, the Pats are hosting Buffalo.

If you heard at the beginning of the season, that the Pats
would lose Garappollo in Game 2, but still be 3-1 upon Brady's
return, that would be fantastic.. but you guys expect 4-0.

If that's true, the Bills have a legitimate chance to be leading the division by the end of week 4.

[Cuse0323]

Screw this game. Who knows what happens. I'd go with the Texans, but not with confidence.

[blap10]

Perfect spot for a 7 point Teaser...

NE +8
OVER 33.5

Good call with a teaser. I'm hopping on board. BOL

[triplecrown333]

7 point teaser is dangerous in this spot, any team can win by a touchdown...

[TheMoneyShot]

New England -1 now?

WTF is going on?

[Ghenghis Kahn]

houston we have a problem.
