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

[ QUOTE ]
FWIW, this line was Phi @ NE -17 as one of Sportsbook's "Games of the Year" selections during last week (before today's games).

Obviously, it is going to open higher (regardless of what is happening with the terribly over-rated Donovan McNabb).

3rd highest win % among active QBs?
Multi-Pro Bowler?
Best/2nd best Red zone rating [until very recently] of all QBs? 7-5 postseason record?
3rd highest QB Rating last year among starters? Better TD%, INT% and YPP than Brady last year?

Yeah, he's recovering from ACL surgery, and they took his best WR away to NWE, and his pass-protection has been mostly awful this year. Injured McNabb is certainly 'overrated' compared to 100% healthy McNabb, I fully agree.

Let's see the stats prior to ACL Injury last year:
| 2007 phi | 10 | 195 326 59.8 2329 7.1 13 6 | 30 135 0 | 95.5 rating

I mean, he's no Peyton or Brady, but no one else is either.
