Glad I do not gamble...

I think you mean -4 or -4.5. Pats are favoirites.

If the Pats are indeed getting points, that would be a sign that Brian Hoyer is indeed playing!

God, I hope so...Brady's clearly on the decline and we should trade him at the end of the year if Hoyer plays ok.

I'm not a gambler, or a detective, but wouldn't a QB listed with a late finger injury and no further information be enough to do this?

That seems to be the case, so there's no mystery.

Tom Brady had a finger injury added to his usual right shoulder problem on the injury report. (Jonathan Wiggs/Globe Staff) By Michael Vega and Monique ...

This shows up on google, but apparently this news was enough to take the whole Globe site down (at least as of 7 AM).

we also are intrigued by the possibility that someone has gotten their hands on inside information not reflected on the New England injury report.

For Patriots coach Bill Belichick, it's a matter of strategic advantage. For the NFL, however, it's an issue that potentially undermines the integrity of the game.

PROBABLE
QB Tom Brady (right shoulder/finger)
CB Shawn Springs (knee)
TE Ben Watson (knee)

So would this get the commish fired due to insider info being leaked?
