The spread came out last Sunday, Pats -4.5 Apparently it was off, because by Wednesday it was Pats -3, where it stayed all week. The move may have also been because of the revealed injury to Edelman.

Right now, in real-time: Pats -6. Moving three points in less than 24 hours? This isn't the old school bookie-era, where something like that is common. In fact, the only reason a spread usually moves that much these days is because of a major injury or revelation. Anyone have any guesses?

Maybe weather? Thats the only thing really changing/being confirmed that is known now.

Doesn't that mean the houses are getting a lot of money put on Houston?

The Ravens losing yesterday increases the Pats intensity to win for the #2 seed

Yeah, that could be it considering the Texans are a southern, dome team (at least they close the dome in bad weather).

i believe the opposite. The spread would be raised in hopes of getting more people to take Houston, I believe.

Rumor has it that Houston has hired Cam Cameron as their offensive coordinator, effective immediately.

NE, actually. Lines move to try and entice people to bet on the other side.

If it started Pats –3 and ended up at Pats –6, that means too many people are betting on NE.

Thats a possibility.

They are looking for more Houston money.Lot of people who bought the Pats at -3.5 will now look to buy Houston to at -6 to win both sides of the bet.
I can tell you one thing LV hates to get middled.

My first question is who is not playing for the Texans?

Where is this "spread" being posted? If it's in the Northeast, there's a preponderance of action on the Pats and they're trying to balance it out with some new money on the Texans. I bet the line in Houston is less than 6. These things can be regional. If it is in Las Vegas, then some big late money dropped on the Patriots and the casinos are scrambling not to get killed.

If you can get the Pats giving 3 and take the Texans getting 6 you can catch a great middle if the difference is 4 or 5 points.

What is the over/under wherever you found the Pats -6?
