NE down to -5.5?

Umad Brasiek · 09-03-12, 01:43 PM

Apparently the loser of the superbowl hasn't covered ATS in their season opener for 12 years.

I mean its the Pats, you wouldn't often go against them, but it is something worth thinking about.

But records are made to be broken, so 13th time lucky right?

where do you see it a -5.5? My book is at -7

When I was looking at this game the biggest questions that remain are the OL of NE. If it's as bad as some of the analyst say then you've got problems and a lot of 2 TE sets. Then on D with all of the new blood it will be a question of how soon will it take for them to jell and that if they do.
If they had even last years OL in tact I would have speculated on them having another undefeated season with their offseason upgrades. So I'm willing to wait and see them in action.

5Dimes still has it at -7, as far as I see.

Those trends are irrelevant.

Yes but with 90% on NE it drops from -7 to -5.5 Vegas isn't stupid.... NE will not win by more than 14. I would predict a 24-21 score probably being in a back door cover with NE up 24-14 and TN scoring a TD late. Don't see how NE will win -5.5 from numbers I see but I have them ML so I hope they win at the least...

Dropping off key numbers IS relevant.

One thing I learned from betting against Belichshit is that you do not mess with the man. Either you take his team or you leave it alone. He has a vendetta against the league for punishing him on his cheating. If the line drops like mentioned above....Titans will cover against any other team. You watch....the moment I put my money on his as....his team will all a suddenly doesn't know how to play. He has cost me so much money.

The correct line for this game should be NE -3. With their history of overperforming their stats and ATS, then -3.5 tops. The problem is the Patriots are almost spread-proof. Bet against them at your own risk. There's much better options on the board.

Not at -110, they are offering -7 at +120.
