    When is the last time that an NFL line was this high?

      Wasn't Indy favoured by at least 16 last year against someone? (and covered too if I remember correctly).

        NE could be favored by 17 every week, the NE lovers would always take the bait. I really would love to see them get their asses kicked at home.

                    This is going to get hit hard when 17s flash.

                          After that b!tch slappin' they applied on San Diego's rear end....

                          I could see them beating Buffalo by more than 10. The line makes NE unplayable.....I just wouldn't be rushing to slap $$$ money down on the points though.

                          It's a real possibility Losman gets sacked a 1/2 dozen times and Brady picks them apart with receivers short and long.

                              Raiders, we're talking 17 points of total offense for Buffalo in weeks 1 & 2.

                              If you take the points, figure you will need the Bills to put up 14-21 points on their own to be cozy and comfortable. I think there is a chance the Pats put up 30-40 on the board.

                              Seems like there might be easier fish to fry week 3. Good luck though man.

                                I totally agree and will probably play the Bills this Sunday.

                                  No doubt about it that I will be taking the points this week.

                                    Taking Buffalo doesn´t look like a sharp play to me, NE will prolly win high..

                                      JBC- Thanks and you make some great points. Even in the Denver game if you look at the stats you'd think the score was 48-3.

                                      The Greek opened this game at 14 with most others at 16. I have to take Buf +17 on principle alone.

                                        Buffalo +17 - good bet

                                        Not being a homer, I never bet with my heart. I am from Buffalo, and I don't know why. But the Bills always play decent against the Patriots. I think it is more the Patriots playing down to the Bills. I know they won't win, but 17? That is high> I would wager the Bills. Good luck

                                          Crap, I coulda grabbed this at 15 this morning. Being a slacker has it's disadvantages. I didn't think this would hit 17, but now I'm starting to wonder.

                                          The line could hit 25, and it would still have value to bet on NE. Sick. Just sick. The NFL office needs to examine how NE has been able to stockpile so much talent. Moss for a 4th round pick? Sick.

                                            It actualy was as high as 19 in some places Tennessee at Indy in Vince Youngs first professional start, one point victory. I won't touch this.

                                                  True value for -25 is a lot closer to +275

                                                      Milton Berle game, and if I might add, +16.5 +102 is comparable to +17 -110.

                                                        Buffalo is a terrible football team, I wouldn't be surprised if they get beat by 30 in this game, NE is just way too powerful for them, it would surprise me if the pats don't win by more than 14.

                                                          Raiders:

                                                          Skybook has the game at 16.5. You get a free 1/2 point there (max $500) which gives Buffalo +17 -110. I like the track record of huge road dogs. Also like your letdown theory on N.E. following two blowouts. I'm getting down on the Bills +17 for a buck or two.

                                                              A quick look shows +1200 at Pinny and +1150 at 5Dimes if you're serious about taking Buffalo ML. It's a balsy bet, but I don't see value until the line hits +1500 or more. Put another way, if Buff played at NE all 16 games this year, I would expect final records of 1-15 and 15-1 respectively. That said, I still think 17 points is too much to give any pro team.

                                                                Buffalo +17 - good bet

                                                                I would bet the Bills with the points. This is going to be one of those games. Bills will cover. New England will be looking past this game. They play Cincy on Monday night the following week. But your right, they have a talented team and should destroy Buffalo on paper. But they won't.
