Patriots -24.5
They are a special team that can cover any spread and the bookies know it now.

Has there ever been a 7-0 team (nevermind defending Super Bowl Champion) that is a home underdog? I would guess not. My guess is New England -8

Re: Predict the Opening Line: Pats in Indy
 

WSEX has a "pre-bet" market for the game with the following current odds:

NEW ENGLAND -170
INDIANAPOLIS +143

I don't know how to convert MLs into spreads, but this should give a good indication of where the spreads will likely be.

Pats -7

Pats -3.5/ o57

Re: Predict the Opening Line: Pats in Indy
 

Its up at the greek. It opened at -3/56.5. Its currently -4.5/56.5. How much will this line bet crushed is the true question.

What they've done is - seriously - sick. Washington...I mean, wow. That's a decent NFL defense and they just got shredded...seriously..just..WOW.

the score deep into the second quarter was 17-0; even a great defense, without at least some help from its offense, would have a hard time surviving NE on the road.

ne, -3

NE -4

Only -4, very surprising.

Re: Predict the Opening Line: Pats in Indy
 

I think it will be NE -7. But I think I would bet almost anything up to NE -14 based on their dominant performance today.
