Re: Early Line for Wash/NE Game
I have a crazy formula for figuring out game scores. It is not an exact science. I am not trying to gain favor from anyone nor piss anyone off. I am just putting it out there.
According to the formula Pats 27.3 Skins 18.7 |

Re: Early Line for Wash/NE Game
I remember in '83? (when we set the points record) that we hadn't been favored by more than 10 until we blew out the Rams on MNF. Then the spreads shot up, and I remember we were favored by 14.5 over Philly that year (cause I lost some money:-(
The offense can get untracked 'cause I think they know they can't win this if they stay conservative. Playing keep-away by running 3 plays worth of time off the clock won't work against this team. I hope they go back to high-percentage quick passes, especially on first down. As I've said in another post, they seem to be successful with it. I hope they don't try to air it out very much, 'cause they're not getting reliable yardage per play and they frequently need 3 downs to get the first. In addition, JC's long ball needs some work (no hang time.) If the offense can hang in there and the DBs (esp. Springs) are able to play we might do respectably. Of course, if Brady gets all day... |

Re: Early Line for Wash/NE Game
I like our Defense..... No way we don't cover.... The Patriots are due a let down ....Gibbs wants this.... The old Championship Gibbs comes through....... WE could even win this... Lets hope Brady's head continues to grow.... Easy game Brady...think that way.......

Re: Early Line for Wash/NE Game
Did you derive your formula from Jsarno's roullette strategy?

I'm not sure what they were ranked before the Pats. Really, you think one game determines the ranking seven games into the season. Sorry, but you are giving the Pats too much credit. To answer your question, if the Pats drop 380 yards on the Skins, they will still be in the top 10. |

Re: Early Line for Wash/NE Game
Shocking news - according to an offshore site I just checked, the line has dropped to 14½. I frankly would have thought this would go in the other direction.

Re: Early Line for Wash/NE Game
I'm less surprised. 16 points is a colossal spread for an NFL game. I suspect the late money is the smart money.

Re: Early Line for Wash/NE Game
Just out of curiosity, are any of you aware of the purpose of a point-spread? To get an equal amount of money bet on each side of the game. All the casino wants is to make the 10% vig, that is enough to keep them in business. Keep in mind, A LOT of people are not convinced the Redskins are any good. The Cowboys, who most consider a better team, got lit up in Dallas. A lesser team going into New England? The money is going to come in heavy on New England. Since the line moved a full point, it shows the large spread didn't scare away the New England money.
