    Patriots and Carolina -3 are both early heavy public plays

    There's no way Vegas is going to lose both of these plays. Yesterday Carolina was the only heavy public play that covered, because the Broncos the other heavy public got backdoor. The same will happen on Sunday, I don't see both Carolina and the Patriots covering if Vegas has a say in this.

    Dumb logic.

    Vegas doesn't control the results... one or two games don't matter. Patriots and Carolina covering wouldn't be a miracle. They know that they will have the majority of the money by the end of the season. Simple math (Gambler's Ruin - wiki).

    Denver and Carolina Superbowl is my prediction

    I can't believe how people are giving Denver no shot as if it's just Manning vs Brady and nothing else matters or counts.....It's hard to win in Denver and the Pats are historically bad here. Refs also will favor Denver overall if I had to guess for a few different reasons. They also have the defense to limit the Patriots, not stop completely, but limit. I mean I get people liking the Pats to move on but many are just saying no chance for Denver at home....Just wrong to me. Give me the contrarian home dog in this spot all day

    At this time, 79% are on New England, and 71% on Arizona. according to "the Spread." If these percentages don't change too much, count on one (if not both) to pay big for the books.

    I'm on both and if I push, I push. I don't think I'll lose both of em tho, but I might win them both.

    Sincerely,

    These games are tough this round without a doubt. I feel the most confident in Brady but even that is not as close to how I felt about Carolina or even Denver last week. The worst part is I have a futures and that makes this all the worse. I need serious marination this week.

    Agree with you on this. I recall the public was all over on NE when they went into Denver earlier this year and faced the Denver backup QB. Game went into OT I believe but NE still lost. Now you have Manning back in with some rust shaken off and the line is still Denver +3 ? Seems like value IMO on Denver. Good luck in your plays.

    2 great games. All I have heard about early action is that it is spread out fairly even. I don't think the refs will make any major fuk ups so the better overall teams, Pats and Panthers will win. Not sure yet if I will lay the 3+ or just shop for best ml.

    I'm sure a segment of owners and league officials would be more than happy to see Pats get sent home for the deflate bs. Another segment may want to see Denver get beat because the Manning HGH story will be highlighted for 2 weeks and that isn't good for anybody. So no conspiracy will effect either side. Bet who you think the better team is.
