edludes,
Totally disagree with the notion that New England is the ultimate public bet today. One of the biggest squares I know, a guy who never wins betting the NFL, took Jacksonville and the points today. This guy is a diehard New England fan who lives just outside of Boston. To me, a 12-4 team getting 8 points against a 10-6 team looks mighty tempting! In addition, if you look at any consensus report out there, you will notice that the public isn't heavy on New England. In fact, most of the reports I have seen, show a slight edge in percentage toward Jacksonville.
