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

i dunno what the books will open with, but does everyone agree a fair line has to be in the 20's?

Every post since midnight has gotten more and more retarded. Some suggested an idea... We take a vote of people and banish them to a "I R TARD" thread in the SBF until their time is up. Then they can post other stuff. Habitual offenders will be subject to similar programs like "3 Strikes" or "Alabama Ice".

1) McNabb's not starting. didn't you know?

2)Robert Walker, sports book director at the MGM Mirage, told the Post...the line could change depending on whether playing status of Donovan McNabb, who injured his thumb and ankle in last Sunday's win against the Miami Dolphins.
“We think (the line) would be 19 1/2, 20 with McNabb," Walker said.

20 <<< 24. Amirite? Or are you saying the head linesman for MGM doesn't know what he's doing?

3) You didn't quote all the fanbois who said line [with McNabb] should be 28-30 points.

I guess the fanbois are more expert than the prof linesetters, even though their guess was off by 6-8 points as NWE-22 was widely available for days even with McNabb's widely known ankle and thumb injury.

[Rustjive]

Line hit 23 within the hour of it opening. McNabb was ruled out within the last day. Nice revisionist history.

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.

And re: your last line: 17.5 == 19.5, 20? Naj Ph.D in Mathematics go!

Defend your butt buddy less, be less snide. Not saying I wouldn't love to learn from you, but please, this is Sports Betting forum, not the 'haha noobs' forum. I mean, reading post after post after post about how 'Thremp is the man', I can't see how that's tiring at all.

[Thremp]

Rust,

Please quote my post and all the ones I mentioned preceding verbatim instead of making fake arguments with fake quotes.

Thanks for intellectual dishonesty.

lol, nice catch

[NajdorfDefense]

I said spread with McNabb would be under 3TDs, and I was right.
Your fanbois said it would be >4TDs, and they were wrong. You are bad at math and bad at making up fabricated quotes. GG you!

Fabricated quotes? Wow, someone has a terrible memory.

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.

[ QUOTE ]
somehow the line opened at -15 @ buffalo. Maybe the bye week+indy game made everyone forget how good NE is, or maybe vegas isn't ready to accept that any NFL team should be favored by more than 20 points.

Until we are in the 24~ point range I'm riding the pats all the way.

So please, Naj, tell me where you said 'under 3 tds', or maybe you should realize that Thremp was a bit too zealous in defending his butt buddy? Some people said the line < 4 TDs was plausible, Thremp nearly [censored] a brick. Aneurysm?

Not sure why you're in disbelief. Proof is only a click away, really.

GG you?

Signal/noise ratio has gotten really bad in here this week.

I've got a total of 7u on the Eagles at various spreads, +22.5 and higher. Also on Eagles team total over 14.

excellent play

[Thremp]

Nice, so now explain in those 10 posts where exactly they were spot on in the predicting that line. I see a lot of pussy footing around about what the line should be. "Does everyone agree a fair line has to be in the 20s?" That is a definitive stance. Wow... Only possible eventuality that he didn't cover was if McNabb was healthy and the sharps bashed it down to 19.5 pre kickoff.

Post by post in the 7:
1) Extrapolated min line is 28. A true "line" given whatever idiocy he posted is like 38 but who cares. Tard.
2) Obv correct. I mean its not like there has ever been a more obv play ever. 1923197293-0 No line mentioned. Though I'm sure we can mark down his fair "line" at something similar.
3) Std.
4) I'll accept this. Fine.
5) ZOMG real analysis. I give this a pass for atleast somewhat coherent thought.
6) Drooler. Did he really just say the line for every game should be >20 barring Indy? WTF power rankings would his world look like? NE by 9 neutral field over Indy and then Indy by 11 over the Greater Polk County Country Day School?
7) No line prediction. He thinks NE is >24 points better than any other NFL team.

I'm still not seeing how the 7 posts I referred to have anything to do with a fair line being in the 20s. Mostly its just gibberish and idiocy.

Not to mention I wasn't defending Naj. I could care less about predicting openers or handicapping games. I'm just tired of reading retarded posts.
