There was an article in the herald on this today. One of the off-shore sites said they are getting killed by the pats and this weeks like will be the second highest to the Steelers-Bucs 1976. Said they will not pull the games from the board but the money is running 65% towards the pats no matter what the line is.

If by "lines" you mean straight-up winners, then, yes, you're correct. [As I posted in another thread, the best odds you can get for Pats beating Eagles is 1-25. Yes--to win $100, you have to risk $2500.]

If you mean against the spread, then, by and large, they haven't (yet).

Another interesting fact--Accuscore.com now has the Pats winning 97.5% of their simulations, with an average score of 37.5-12.9. Even the Dolphins and the Bills had chances of 5-7%.

Can someone, anyone, please explain why Vegas would ever take a point spread wager off the board?????? Why can't they just steadily raise it until they have equal money on both sides? I know I'm missing something here, but I just can't put it together.

According to Accuscore, we have a 66.6% chance to run the table during the regular season. Interestingly too, they give us a 0.5% chance of winning 13 or less games.

Update: Well that didn't work out as I had planned. Next year baby, next year 19-0 we go. Next year.

That would be a 99.5% chance of winning at least 14 games (enough to guarantee HF throughout btw) if there's a 0.5% chance of winning 13 or less.
