Tough to go against NE here, but I am never in love with the idea of spotting 7. For that matter, I am not in love with laying 6 either. But, I do have -3, -3.5 & some at -5.5 from bets made weeks ago when it was AFC vs. NFC. I may add some at -6 if it gets there and may middle some of it if I can get 7.5 or more. With the line at 7, the more favorable play to me seems to be the under. I base this just on the simple fact that both teams have tough defenses and the 48 that you can find now seems a touch high when both teams have that credential. I didn't dig much futher than that, I had the line figured in the 43-44 range. A detriment to this play is that NE always seems to find a way to put a Defensive TD on the board in a big game.
I am not a big teaser fan, but MVP will give you a vig free teaser.......(-6.5 is, of course, the prime teaser figure, 7 not bad, too, as you still push with a 1 point win) NE -1 & under 54 if it goes to 48 at that house. 47.5 now, however.
