Brady is questionable for Thursday...

[Bluedragon]

Apparently Brady missed practice again today and may not play tomorrow, as per NFL.com. Now, could we bust out the old Zapruder films and Area 51 scrap metal and say that this could be a Vegas set-up to get a cooch-load of action on the Lions??? Hmmm... I love conspiracy theories and in the back of my head, the bottom of my gut, feel that Brady WILL play tomorrow and this may be a little scare-tactic...??

Thoughts!!!!

Still like NE to cover...

I'll take the ML that the Pats are a bunch of cheaters.

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Brady will play; mark it down.

Anyone want to bet Brady plays

Anybody? Anybody? LMAO, maybe your book has a prop bet.

I wish it did or I wish someone would just bet me. Brady has been listed probable/questionable with that "sore foot" BS injury for weeks now and just this week you guys are noticing it. Thats funny.

He's always been probable, but recently downgraded to questionable.

[JoeyCashMoney]

I am sure Brady will play. He is listed as "Probable" every week with some kind of BS injury, but this downgrade to "questionable" is strage and he hasnt practiced this week. Bellichick has nothing to do with Vegas or the lines, and Brady being "questionable" and not practicing is Bill's doing.

Very strange and is a weird omen to me. I was originally thinking of going big on the Pats here, and I do think Brady will still play. But this weird news is enough to make me sit this one out. I was already sketched out enough by Calvin Johnson's potential ability to rip apart the Pats defense, and the Lions being 4-0 at home ATS or whatever their record is. So yea, no play for me. Best of luck to everyone who has action here.

[duwork]

Missing the walkthroughs is the biggest thing for me, personally. I'm not saying he won't play, just don't thing he'll be as integral for as long as many may speculate.

It's scary when 83% of the spread bets and 92% of the ML bets have gone NE.

And the line hasn't moved hmmmm .

[JoeyCashMoney]

Lions have done a great job covering the spread this year and I dont think Hill is a terrible backup. I am not sold on the Pats secondary, but I am sold on the fact that Cal Johnson is a freaking beast. Again, very weird that Brady missed practice. Gun to my head I still say Pats cover, but this has been enough to convince me to sit this one out.

[Bluedragon]

It's the no-pracice deal that is sketchy. Still think Pats cover.

[herts9]

they've been "practicing" for 13 weeks. i'm sure they won't forget how to run and throw...

[slacker00]

Brady doesn't need practice to beat the Lions. He probably took the week off to hunt turkeys or something.

Not if you like Detroit it isn't. Detroit is tough at home. Have been all year. Don't be shocked if they win this game straight up.

[regretz]

lions ML woot woot

[linedrivr]

Another tidbit. The NFL team favored by a line of 7 / 6.5 has a good percentage of straight up losses. Chart back to week 1 this year and look at the games that fall into -7 / -6.5 category. In addition to wagers on the Fav losses on this number range, lots of good looking teasers on paper have ended in losses also by John Q teasing down this line down to to -1 or -.5 thinking it would be and easy straight up win.

Had the NE line been set at -7.5 to -9 range, I would have had to seriously contemplate taking the Patriots. With 85% of the current wagers on NE, the line at -7 / -6.5, I will take my chances with the sportsbooks and their 15% stake on Detroit.

[Muddy]

Lions or no play for me. Still undecided.
