New England -5 (-110)= Grade A wager.

[JayDr3am]

Pats are at home on a BYE
Seattle on road no BYE
There are no similarities except the line
which is there to mess with your heads.
This is a hilarious yet revealing thread so far.
My bet is in.

lol the line isnt there to mess with your head if you pay attention to it and understand what to lay and what not to lay..

[Jeep_Life 42]

Patriots ML

[nyplayer33]

Brady wins by 21 lol...

[JameisBrady]

Ne would be lucky to score 3 tds! Kc just beat the breaks off them last year. Ugly low scoring game 20-17.

The fact that you would even mention this just shows how painfully stupid you are. Might as well just lay down and rot while you're at it you worthless cuck.

[Snowball]

The line IS there to mess with your head. It is not a predictive indicator.
If the line was a predictive indicator, sports betting would be easy.
The only function of the line is to monetarily arrange wagers placed on each side
proportionately so the vig is maintained as a profit balance regardless of
dollar action carried.

Amazing. I suppose you believe that Big Ben still may play for Pitt even though he has admitted to having torn ligaments in his throwing shoulder.

Torn ligaments don't necessary prevent an athlete from throwing. It depends on severity. The area can be wrapped to largely prevent further damage. Nerve deadeners in proper quantity aid performance. All supervised by physician.

[jjgold]

Ben has been quiet unless he is lying

I do not trust injury reports

[CanuckG]

Chiefs should roll

[klemopixx]

The difference here is the Chiefs offense. Andy Reid/Doug Pederson play it way too close to the vest, especially for the playoffs. If Brady and the Patriots offense gets off to a fast start will the Alex Smith and the Chiefs be able to respond? If Maclin is out that makes it even worse. I think that Pats -5 is a solid bet.

[DavieVegas]

Dont sleep on this chiefs team with a struggling offense and defense of the patriots. No matter if edleman and gronk are healthy. Chiefs will make brady very uncomfortable. I think KC has a strong shot to win this game if they can score enough points. If they keep the Pats under 23 points, they can win. Also, fade the public. Public is all over the Pats. Hotels are open on every corner in vegas because of the public.

[polishkielbasa10]

by Public "all over the Patriots" do you mean currently 52%?

[Renegades]

Yeah I think this game is pretty split action wise. If anything, there is more love for KC as the "upset" this week

[chico2663]

snowball I could give more validity if you were pro.Anyone that can't afford 100.But screw what these others are saying. As someone that bets lines (I believe they try to get you to bet one way) if kc had a chance the line would be 3 or less.i may go large on seattle because of this. good luck and after you win go to pro status. Plus seabreeze took the chiefs.

tell a real line-maker that I'm sure they would slap you lol and i wouldn't use the word "easy".. Id say you become more accustomed to how things typically go in this world. cause its not easy to the beginner. but if youre a student of this game things do become easier to read and understand...

[Snowball]

I am not a "pro" on SBR because I don't have a use for it.
I also don't like to spend time duplicating my bets in different places.
It's really enough in my routine to cap, think, bet, and post.
Although I have done it before I also don't like posting bet verifications in
online forums. so, whatever.

I guess what I said went over your head ? Perhaps because it's something you haven't heard
before. That's the line. The line is not a predictive indicator. There have been books written about this.
I have been betting sports since around 1985 .. I have local and online and I know how the connected
people work. Think as you wish.

actually it went nowhere... damn you've been betting longer than ive personally been alive and youre going to sit here and tell me that line isn't a predictive indicator? .. wow.

[DOM-Ganador]

Snow. BIG Pats guy here. Grew up in Lexington. 5 is always a weird # in the NFL.
So far, everywhere I look, bets are balanced close to 50/50.
Books may be very happy @ that with this game.
I believe @ 6 they would get a preponderance of $ on Chiefs.
Therefore I like the Pats to win if it moves to 6, but am laying off @ 5.

Right now, my gut says they are going down falling short with a ferocious late comeback.

[Fishhead]

Game to 4.5 some shops, as expected.

[Snowball]

all you guys care about is "the line".

all i care about is will the Pats win by at least 2 FG or 1 TD.

[arrgy]

Going back to 2011, every first round game NE plays they score 35 or more, but they dont blow anyone out. The first round divisional game has gone over 6 of the last 7 times.

Take the over better bet.

[JayDr3am]

all you guys care about is "the line".

all i care about is will the Pats win by at least 2 FG or 1 TD.

so basically you care about the line too then if all you care about is if the patriots win by a certain amount? lol don't contradict yourself.. you're damn right we all care about the line cause its the most important thing.

[lakerboy]

Game will be rigged. I can tell with that 4.5- movement.

[Jnas]

Gronk missed practice 2 of 3 days. He was at the hospital today getting his knee drained. Edelman is still nowhere near 100% Chiefs easy here don't bet on the past, Right now the chiefs are the better team.

[Snowball]

Gronk missed practice 2 of 3 days. He was at the hospital today getting his knee drained. Edelman is still nowhere near 100% Chiefs easy here don't bet on the past, Right now the chiefs are the better team.

SO what ? Having a little swelling taken out of your knee doesn't mean much. He'll be on shots.
Gronk is a warrior and he'll be rested. People who hopped on the line going down a half point
after hearing Gronk "missed" practice and was "in the hospital" are going to be surprised how
well he plays. Of course the Pats also have a more than capable backup at TE in Scott Chandler.
Concerning Edelman nobody is saying he "will be 100%" - but others have emerged in his stead
while he was gone (White), and Amendola, don't forget about him.. plus Edelman is going to have
to be covered like a blanket .. he's pumped.. "full throttle".. a soldier in the Kraft Mafia..
You guys go ahead and take the Kansas City Chiefs coming off short rest with their top rec
beat up ankle.. against Tom Brady and Belichick, not to mention a fast smart defense, excellent
special teams, the best kicker in the league and a lot of painful memories for those who dared
to fade New England at Gillette Stadium. Be my guests.

[Snowball]

Happy to see the LM to -4 today.
Gave me the opp to just buy a point and be at -3.
I'm on -5.5, -5, and -3.
Significant bets all of them.

[Hickeyc31]

Of course the Pats also have a more than capable backup at TE in Scott Chandler.
.

Agree with most except this. Chandler drops a lot of good passes and isn't nearly the same YAC beast that Gronk is. However, I do think the Gronk situation is grossly exaggerated and, like you said, he'll be good to go at near 100%.

[Snowball]

Well, I like Chandler, no he's not Gronk but Brady will have enough weapons tomorrow.
I'm also excited to see the level Steven Jackson brings.

Anyone who's taking the Chiefs based on Gronk stories needs to read this:

Are Patriots intentionally creating panic about Rob Gronkowski?

[chico2663]

edelman could of went last game of season if it was meaningful. Anyone that doesn't think brady wants this bad because of deflate game.If they thought chiefs could win the game on road it would be 3 or less. Line started 5.5 nd down to 4.5.I hate the pts but nfl wants one last hurrah of brady versus manning.Anyone that thinks the nfl doesn't try to shade things only has to look at bengals-pitt game. Ray horton coachs pitt. His brother was officiating game. Porter on field and they throw a flag on pacman. Where is this ever been brought up besides here? MANNING VS BRADY LATE GAME SUNDAY JANUARY 24! book it dano

[chico2663]

snowball that is bs about pro because you make more than that on gift cards. by the way first bet i made was cin vs balt colts playoffs 1970. lost my lunch money for 2 weeks and been losing ever since.

[RITZ]

Belichick with an extra week to prepare against a buffoon in Andy Reid. Chiefs D is for real, but at the end of the day Alex Smith is still Alex Smith and KC's offense is devoid of talent. Lay the points.

Bingo! The Andy and Alex Show, we have seen this before and know how it ends for them. Brady/Belichick Show all the way.

Chico to be honest I never even thought about it.
I don't want to mess around with gift cards.
My father had a saying, "If you don't know you need it, you don't need it",
so that's where I'm at. If my "non-pro status" impacts your opinion of my capping abilities,
I don't care, no offense.

[DavieVegas]

People kept saying Alex Smith is Alex smith vs the texans too. We all know how that played out.

This game won't be close.
