    Is it really worth doing this?

    I am considering betting the money line against the Patriots in every game from here on out. Their lines are so outrageous right now that it seems to be worth taking a shot at it.


    LMK what you guys think

    Dan,

    If they're 20+ favs vs. Pittsburgh, I'm with you.

    I think as they play better competition, the lines will reflect the improved level of their competiton and the value very well may go down.

    I don't really think so. Not until you see if and when starters are rested. I think they'll play to win every game left on their schedule, if they had already lost a game or two it'd be different.

    They are going to have a bye to start the playoffs anyway remember, and their last game of the season is on a Saturday, so thats a bit of time off. The notion that should they go 15-0 theyll rest everyone vs the Giants or play them 10 minutes is almost ridiculous.

    No chance the Pats rest their players unless they lose beforehand. Belicheck is playing for 16-0, and nothing short of that will please him.

    Dan, I personally would not. I think there is a very good chance they run the table. And if they decide to sit players, the ML will be reflected in that. Bottom line, I don't see them losing.

    There are some props available on the Pats going 16-0. I think you could get 2 to 1 betting against it before the Balt game. Probably better now.

    I think playing Pittsburgh money line wouldn't be a bad idea, but I would rather take the points because their line is just too high right now.
