Either take the Lions or don't play it

[No coincidences]

This is a principle bet. Books were slaughtered last week, and NE is a monster public play. Line has gone from +7 to +6.5 to lure even more Detroit bettors in.

Don't do it. If the Pats cover, so be it. But they are not the play. Oddsmakers are trying to set you up and get you back for taking their money last week with the Packers, Falcons, Eagles and all of the other square bets that cashed.

If it was so easy to fool people like this, why isn't it done for every single game? How did the books get beat in the first place?

Because nobody would gamble if they just lost every week

fauk dat lions suk ima prob have pats ml and jets ml in part of a parlay

[icancount2one]

I think you overestimate the books sir. Packers Falcons and Eagles happened to be the right plays last week, as was Tampa Bay. Maybe you should spend more time watching games and looking at stats and less time worrying about who's betting on who.

[Snowball]

i feel fortunate that my book still had New Orleans at -3.5 this morning
so I bought the hook and went Saints -3 (-120).
We shouldn't be surprised if the Saints line sees 4.5 or even 5.5 by kickoff tomorrow.
The Dallas revival/home angle is the only thing keeping it this low.
Truthfully I expect the Saints to win by 10+..
it's by far my favorite play tomorrow. I see no reason to put money on the other two
games. Lions may give Patriots a battle and have success passing.

[Eric22174]

Good luck.

I have a feeling Saints are going to have another game like when they played arizona.

[ClimbSomeRocks]

Teaser to -.5 is the play

[Snowball]

Brady just got downgraded from Probable to Questionable.

[t-wizzle]

Lions will give the Pats a game here. Detroit is finally headed in the right direction and the Pats are coming off an extremely tough game against Indy.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Teaser to -.5 is the play

Golden.

Lions will give the Pats a game here. Detroit is finally headed in the right direction and the Pats are coming off an extremely tough game against Indy.

Detroit heading in the right direction? They've lost 3 straight and they have been banged up all year. Pats played a great game last week against the Colts either team could of won that game. The Patriots know how tough wins are to come by in this league and their in a division race with the Jets who are 8-2, which the Jets are very fortunate let me remind you. Pats won't let this game get away from them. I agree the Lions will keep it close and +6.5/7, whatever you get, is definitely worth a look but Pats will win. I teased the Pats down to -0.5.

[No coincidences]

This is a great chance for the Lions to show their fans they're headed back in the right direction. I'm not sure if they'll win SU, but I expect a close game -- likely a 3-4 point NE win.

[BetterBizness]

I'm on this as well... I think this was the tipping point...

[cappinthepigs]

This game will end in a tied, no doubts about it!

[MichiganMade]

Detroit loses by at least two touchdowns!

[spongerat]

is brady playing? I'm out of Boston for the holiday

[herts9]

he didn't practice today or yesterday and is listed as questionable. i'm 99% certain he'll play. reports showed he was walking around the clubhouse with no noticeable difficulty

[antifoil]

all i know if you bet on home dogs over the course of a season you win money. so i will take detroit and dallas

[Jimmy Darmody]

I wanna bet Detroit question is at what price

[Terrapin Station]

Small play for me on Detroit.

[KenardRage]

Sure Detroit is headed in the right direction. But they don't have a shot at beating the Patriots. The game won't even be close in my opinion. As for the Saints .. Well they should handle the Cowboy's. Good luck to all you betters out there hope you make a killing and hope yall have a great thanksgiving and a happy holiday season.

[Ralphie1412]

Im sitting it out. Although I expect to be mad for not hammering the pats. Just too shady.

I think the saints are a good play. Cowboys will come back to life. Kitna isnt going to march all over the saints in a dome. No shot.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

Going to be a tight game thats the Pats still take the W. They can't let a game like this get away from them. Detroit +7 is a strong play but for my teaser sake I just need a Pats win.

[Sunde91]

We're being told what to do or not do based on the books getting beat last week. You think they're due to win and are "setting us up", but what if the books won last week? Would you still be telling us what to do, or would they no longer be "setting us up"??

The arrogance and simple-mindedness of this clown kid, who plays at Sportsbook.com, amazes me.

[gohabsgo]

I'll pass on this game and bet on dallas instead

[JoeyCashMoney]

No way I would bet on Detroit even tho they have done well covering spreads this year. Just no way I would pick the Lions over Pats. The game seems real sketch to me and I am probably overthinking it, so I have decided to just sit it out and enjoy watching it. I think Pats cover, but my concern is that Cal Johnson puts up some big yards/TD's and the Lions keep it close. As usual, best of luck to all!

[bradnowell]

lions +12 or pats -0.5

[GimpedMaster]

I have a paid subscription to Rotowire, more for fantasy purposes than betting. However, it's nice to see inside info on star players that you can't always find elsewhere.

In any case, this is their note on Brady earlier tonight: "Brady (foot/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lions, Ian R. Rapoport of the Boston Herald reports. We'd be very surprised to see Brady sit the Patriots' Thanksgiving tilt out, but the "questionable" designation is curious enough to make it worth his owners' trouble (just to be safe) to verify his status prior to Thursday's 12:30 ET kickoff."

As long as Brady gets the 'all clear' tomorrow, I'm gonna pound the shit out of the pats. Landers posting that he's on the Lions put that bet into sure winner status (assuming Brady plays).

[RollPlayer]

Pats is my play. Shaun Hill is coming off an injury and Calvin Johnson is banged up, too many variables for me to go with the Lions. I'll wait to see if Brady is inactive, and if he isn't then I will be all over the Pats tomorrow

[tony_come]

I like Dallas tomorrow

[dfberger23]

We're being told what to do or not do based on the books getting beat last week. You think they're due to win and are "setting us up", but what if the books won last week? Would you still be telling us what to do, or would they no longer be "setting us up"??

Patriots will win by double digits.

This isnt the trap game, the books always let the first public favorite to win every thanksgiving. Check back on the previous years. Its always either the 2nd or 3rd game. Its either dallas or the bengals winning straight up and it would be hard for me to believe its the bengals.

you sir are a sucker

Wait until game day you will get the hook bought at much better rate than -120. Alternate lines unless your at a shitty book or a local. This is a tip for the 1% of the time you should buy the hook.

.5 pts on a bet isn't worth buying everytime over the long run...

[spongerat]

news: bradys playing. Not news: pats are going to win by double digits

[unde0087]

Lions are a bit better but come on man. On thanksgiving you can guarantee 2 things. 1. Eating a shit load of turkey 2. Lions getting routed. Happens every year and the forecast calls for the norm. There isn't a chance in hell that the Lions win this game. Brady has been on the injury report every week for the last 6 years, he will play. He might sit the 2nd half when the Pats are up 3 tds.

And as far as Pats being a public play, no shit. Betting against the Lions on Thanksgiving has been a way of paying for the family dinner since the dawn of time.
