    I'm sweating NE season Wins OVER 10.5. Should I hedge?
    This is like found money because I had written this off. But now at 10-5 I can win the bet which I have at -120 or take the stinking Dolphins at +203.

    Suggestions?

    PS- at this point I'm happy to get some coin back.

    dolphins not stinking lately have won 5 in a roll (first time in dec since 1985) Sabans has team playing with confidence Fins want to win this one bad. Also fins always play pats close I think miami wins outright.

          NE should want the 4th seed, in my opinion. It will be a lot easier to beat Jacksonville with a backup QB than Pittsburgh, who is playing well, especially since the game is in cold weather.

          If you can get 6, take the points. I think this will be a close game.

              JOHN DO THE RIGHT THING AND BONUS WHORE HEDGE OUT OF THERE. STICK WITH US FELLOW WHORES LIKE MARC AND YOU WILL STAY SOLID. GO TO LINK REMOVED AND SCALP IT SINCE THEY HAVE THE DOLPHINS AT +200 WITH ALSO A 20% CASH BONUS.

              TELL THEM IM SOLID BY THE WAY.

                Nah AK but thanks for the suggestion.

                OK you guys convinced me to sit pat(pardon the pun) which basically means I have the Pats on the ML at -120.

                I hope it snows like crazy up there!

                  Dear John,
                  Please listen to our Miami expert, Happy Boy, and hedge against New England. Here is the magic key to your decision...Razz has correctly pointed out that New England wants the 4 seed and not the 3. Do not think that the best coach in the NFL has not considered that greatly. Not to mention, nobody likes to have his players rested more than BB. If you want the money you would have gotten from the NE play then hedge harder with Miami and thank Happy and Razz after you win.
                  Your Friend,

                    So NE wants the 4th seed in case they play Cincy in the playoffs Bellidick doesnt want to play the game at NE. I got it

                      Cincy is not going to lose.

                          You're almost probably right.

                            NE has no incentive to win. I would take a little on Miami m/l. Or take Miami +6 and hope to win both. Good luck.

                              There is a better chance of the Patriots benching Brady than playing Cincinnati.

                                Hmm..Miami +6 and win both???? Thats not a bad idea. Of course Miami on the ML pays 2-1. Hmm.

                                    A lot of good calls here! And thank you. I put half the amount on Miami +203 which basically after all this I end up winning enough to buy my date lunch at MickyD's. But since I had a $400 loss inked in after week 7 I'm darn happy to get my principal back + $12.

                                      i bet you were sweating bullets when they got that TD and attempting that 2 point conversion.

                                      very nice call on that ML game john

                                        Good to see you hedged your bet John and got a dinner out of it. Did you take your date to the drive thru with your LeSabre? Also did you treat her to a Hot Apple Pie?
