Re: Sea -7.5 Was
I've been developing a computer ranking system that in theory handicaps games. It was originally for college, but last night I set up a version for the NFL to predict the playoffs. Now it's completely untested in the NFL (it did mediocre at predicting the bowl season, would have lost about 2 cents on the dollar betting, not counting juice), but for what it's worth it says that Seattle should be a 6.1 favorite.
So far the computer is 1-0, having picked Washington straight up to win by 3.8, so if New England only wins by 1.3 (ish) then perhaps it's onto something, and Washington might be a slightly worthwhile bet, though it sounds like the line will move toward Seattle so if you do follow my computer's advice you'll probably want to wait. Wish the mechanical brain luck, unless you bet on the Pats [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
