    What Book will expose the first NE-6 1/2?
    It may be heading that way, but will it be at 6 1/2 by kickoff? I have serious doubts that will happen.

        Is this all because of Brady’s hand? I’m tempting to unload on ML now

            just take NE +100 to win it all

            if his hand is fine then they will win it

                  It's going to be tough to get to -6.5. If so, I couldn't imagine it staying for long.

                  No. Just because news appears timed with movement doesn't mean causation.

                  In fact, with sports, it rarely does.

                  For this example, it might be more precise to say it's all because of the movement to 7.5 that sent it to 7, not the news (or lack thereof) about Brady's hand.

                  Those who aren't sure about the why of the movement or/and are lazy in critical thinking will settle with the idea that it's a little of both that moved the line.

                  Those guys also get their news at the water cooler.

                    I doubt any book wants the action they will get at -6 1/2 to be honest. That line will get smashed if it dropped below a TD and would almost certainly be drove right back to 7 or 7.5 within minutes. If bookmaker drops to -6.5 im hitting it hard and throwing it in a large teaser as well.

                        If you like 6 1/2 that much why not buy the 1/2 point?

                                The opening line was wrong. Jaguars will cover easily. The real question is can they win?

                                    You can't just routinely buy onto number you want, that gets way too expensive unless you can get -6.5 at -115 or less.

                                      Case in point, not worth laying that much for a spread, -131 makes the breakeven point 57%.

                                              pats will commit bloody murder on Sunday in my opinion. Bortles will look like a scared child. Pats role. Brady is like a brett farve bullet proof..unless he broke his fukin hand which he obviously didn’t this is a non issue.

                                                Just make sure, if your're buying that 1/2 point, you know exactly what you're doing. Then, why worry about juice not lost?

                                                  I ALWAYS look at things from a Long Term perspective, and making a bet that requires better than a 57% ATS to profit is not appealing at all. If you are that confident, just lay the 7. BUT as I said, you may also get lucky if this goes to say -7 +100, making the buy to -6.5 cheap and reasonable.

                                                    That is like saying there is no juice when you win, an expression I can't stand.

                                                    There is no human being on earth that wins 100% of the time, which is what it would take to avoid juice. And rest assured, books know what they are doing when juicing point buys, if you continuously lay heavy juice to buy, you will lose in the long run no matter how great any one bet may look.

                                                      I know these things yet still don’t follow them to a tee.

                                                      I have been winning but it is only a matter of time for me

If you are that confident, just lay the 7. BUT as I said, you may also get lucky if this goes to say -7 +100, making the buy to -6.5 cheap and reasonable.
                                                          Well, your way may work for you but I see the psychology of each team coming in to being quite important. Over studying a game can get you confused causing you to miss some finer details.

                                                              Going from -7 to -6.5 -120 is not terrible at all in NFL, -7 -110 is roughly equivalent to -6.5 -124.1. I personally wouldn't go higher than -115 to leave a buffer, but that's just me.

                                                                One caveat is live betting with inefficient markets, but I do not want to get involved with that because I DO have a life.
