Classy Bowl Point Spread - New England Patriots Forums

Did anyone else notice the spread has the Chargers getting 3.5 at home against the Dolts? The Dolts were bigger dogs at home against us than the Chargers are against the best ever team that dominated us for most of the game? Doesn't this seem bizarre?

Point spreads have nothing to do with the quality of the team and everything to do with the betting public's perception of the quality of a team.

LMFAO That's the first I've heard this game called the "Classybowl". I just want them to beat the ever-living crap out of each other with the Sparklers coming out on top.

Wish I could take credit, I saw it somewhere and thought it was hysterical..don't remember where though.

Watch it start to shrink. Gonzalez out. Clark hasn't practiced yet. Harrison limited in practice and likely not 100% if he plays. Addai may get 60 carries.

I think all the points made here sound good. Summary: Las Vegas residents should put their money on the Colts.

P.S. What happened to Dallas Clark? Didn't hear he was injured.

Concussion. Not sure when but speculation was the sideline pattern on 3rd and 15. Didn't look like he got popped too bad though.

I am surprised about this as well. If anything, that azzwhipping Adrain put on them last week will have the Bolts fired up. Sunday Nighter no less. If I were a betting man, I'd take the points. Imagine, the Bolts a home dog.

Not sure what to think about this game now. Peyton looks troubled about his weaponry situation. But Rivers has that I'm so stupid I still believe I'm a pro bowler grin going in his pre game pressers.

While I always believe a Colts loss is in the best interest of the league, I really can't stand that entitled little mf'er Rivers.

He has had some good games (impressive numbers anyway), but I am hoping he dosn't decide to "get in a zone". With injuries we have, I still think we are going to be okay on defense. However, we will need some LBer's back to help stop the run. On offense, Addai, Keith, Fletcher, and Morehead will have to at least draw some attention to hopefully free up Reggie a bit. Watch out for Craphonso "Crap" Thorpe, I assume he'll be activated.
