Out of 6 picks 6 are on the PATRIOTS.

ok so with further review. looking at the top 4 sports websites. you have 41 sports writers/commentators and

36 out of 41 are on the PATRIOTS.

all i keep reading is philly has no chance. vegas set this line at 7 for a reason and thats to lure all the pats money in. back with more tomorrow.

if Vegas loses......I lose
the numbers:.....

NE off YPG 354...off pts per 100 yds 7.82.....7.82x3.54=28 pts offense
NE def YPG 313....def pts per 100 yds 5.15.....5.15x3.13= 16 pts def
net....=+12

Phil off YPG 352...off pts per 100 yds 6.94.....6.94x3.52=24 pts off
Phil def YPG 317...def pts per 100 yds 4.98......4.98x3.17=16 pts def
net...=+8

NE net +12 minus Phil net +8 leaves NE by 4

gotta go by the numbers in this one......Philla covers

statman - you can't just just use raw numbers - who did they play and under what conditions ?

NE -7 is a pretty fair line given the intangibles of having been there before and having a money-kicker

 

[Statman02]

yes I can.......I can do anything I want......it's my money.......this system is not foolproof.....it has only gone 4/4 in the playoffs so far.......but it worked in the last SB and was pretty good in the reg season.........it's all a crapshoot......good luck to you.......I wont be betting anything I can't afford to lose......hope you don't either
