*** OFFICIAL 10/01/07 NFL MNF GAME THREAD (NE Pats @ Cincy)***

[B00T]

im sure it was a C+P of the early and afternoon game threads

[ehafner]

I don't like the Pats as much as most people here. I'll probably be laying off. I expect Cincy to step up and make +7 about right.

Fairly newb question...What is a better line -7 at -115 or -7.5 at -105...Those are the two lines being offered between the greek and bodog, in that order.

I personally think New England is going to cover by 10 let alone 7 or 7.5, but I also understand games land on 7 quite frequently...This question will also help me in the figure...what if the 7 line was at -110 and 7.5 at -105? Thanks

-7.5 at -105 is slightly better than -7 at -115. You can use Pinny's drop down menu to see how much each half point is worth (in this case it's 9).

In the second scenario -7 at -110 would be better.

i took the -7.5 at -105

i wouldve preferred to take -7 at -110 but wasnt available thru bodog. i should prob find another sportsbook.

CIN to be ultra-inspired here and in front of a raucous MNF home-crowd.
Think this is a bigger game for the Bungles than for the Pats and the greater motivation is on their side.

That might not be nearly enough to overcome NE's talent and CIN's defense can be pretty lousy. But home-field is worth considering on this one.

Do you really think NE should be 13 or 13.5 faves at home for this one? It's not like they're playing the Bills again.

yeh cinc is def in a tough spot so theyre prob going to play v hard. but then again pats d is always solid and i dont know whether cinc secondary can slow down the pats.

I'm starting to get on their bandwagon. Also, Cinci is really really bad. Not sure that defense can force a punt vs. NE.

Bellichek loves the national spotlight and Cincy's defense sucks. NE by 22
