I'm probably in the minority on this but I'm in favor of a sports team playing hard the entire game from opening to last second...this means continue to score even when the game may appear to be out of hand...there is a point where starters should be pulled, but i do like to see the teams continue to play...the object of the game is to score points...now mainly i'm in favor of playing out the game because of people like us who enjoy wagering on the games...
Personally I don't like the Patriots and never have, however they are the one team that i have 100% faith in backing as a favorite and I respect how good and dominating they are...simple reason being you know they will play and try to score every single possession, leave their starters in longer than they probably should, and even w/ backups they look to keep scoring - some view this as disrespect - but how many times do you see teams get up by 14 or 21 points and just sit on it only to lose or go into OT or something...I mean i can't tell you how many times i've seen a team favored by a few points, go up 21-0, sit on it, and end up not covering the spread...I like it that the Pats play to win big - they are 8-0 ATS and 8-0 over this year - that really is something - now sure people may not like how they play but a few weeks back i hopped on the NE & over money train - I'll keep riding it out until it starts losing...at this rate now sure it will - a few years back remember NE covered the spread every week but i believe 3 or 4 - from Week 1 through Super Bowl - i hopped on back then and rode them out...the Pats ATS record over the years speaks for itself
Anyways - i understand why people may think it's wrong to keep running it up - but I say just use this info to know that this Pats team won't letup and all I know is i wish more teams i had money riding on would play like this and give 100%...just think how many games you lose by a team letting up and throwing in the towel way to early - let's face it whether it be pro or college games are as big as they are because of wagering - i want teams that are going to play 100% from start to finish...
Look at the SD game today - that game should have went way over - but after a 35-3 start - SD plays soft and game goes under...can't tell me people backing the SD over wouldn't have wanted to see SD playing like the Pats did today...
Can't wait for the Pats/Colts - I just don't see how anyone can play against the Pats right now...I'm not kidding you I really think Belicheck is trying to cover the spread and score as many points as possible every single week - he wants this season to go down as the most dominating season ever
GL w/ your plays...
