there is no chance they will be 21+ pt favorites, assuming there will not be much to play for at that point in time...

Nope, but I will take Miami @ Pats -20 right now if anyone wants the action.

i would of but things are a little different from when I posted that, namely that Ronnie Brown is done for the year

Re: Patriots line -24.5 before the end of the season?
 

Ok, the Pats are just toying with people now.

Next week is Philly at NE. If McNabb can't go, do we get over -20?

Re: Patriots line -24.5 before the end of the season?
 

Reid says McNabb is going. -17.5 looks about right if McNabb starts. Meaning NWE wins 38-13.

Re: Patriots line -24.5 before the end of the season?
 

How does Phily score 17????

and

How does NE score less tahn 45??

seriously...

did you not see that they are playing dolphins week 16?

Re: Patriots line -24.5 before the end of the season?
 

I will be amazed if they don't break that record now. Especially against Miami and NYJ, I gaurantee Bill is still thinkin about what Shula said a week or so ago.

Don't see it - take the Bills line, add 6 to account for HFA, and Philly is, what, favored by 3 over Buffalo on a neutral field? That's -19. If the books want to balance the public hammering the Pats it'll have to be 20 or more.

Edit: What I mean is by closing it'll be -19 and/or close to -20.

Re: Patriots line -24.5 before the end of the season?
 

i dunno what the books will open with, but does everyone agree a fair line has to be in the 20's? seems to me even a -24 line would be low vs. some teams, and a -20 line would still be low vs everyone (but the colts obv). I have trouble believing the eagles are going to keep it within 20 when only 2 other teams have all year long.
