The 2007 Patriots went 0-4 against a 20 point or more spread
So for those who are expecting to notch an easy 40-7 game or similar to that,might want to realize that teams rarily ever cover a spread this high.
Be happy with a 21-14 win
Patriots-Colts 21-point spread is an NFL rarity
This is an interesting stat, and it goes to show that even though a team may be capable of beating a team by 20+ points, that is not there target. They may be happy with a 14 pt win and thus not be full pedal to the metal all game.
AlgaeAs long as this gives the OP reason to once again bet against the home team this week I'm not worried about how much we will then beat them by... There is something in the water in PA...
Dam, I didn't know we were given as 19 point favorites against the Ravens in 07. that game was a nail biter
Because they were literally allowed to tackle our receivers for 59 minutes. I was at the game, it was unreal how much the refs let go. Then they call a defensive holding on a DB against Watson that led to a first down and the Gaffney TD. I was wondering if I was going to get out of the stadium alive.
Also the wind was crazy that night.
The Saints beat them by 55 points. It's not outside the realm of possibility to cover here. Let's hope that the team isn't over-confident going into the game (like a certain game against an inferior opponent in Feb. 2008).
Saints vs colts spread 13.5 score 62-7
just by putting the 21 point spread out there is enough to make will the score closer
hook the suckers having a similar team wax the clots by a 55 point differential first then drop the boom with the pats not covering a 21 pointer.
unless Pete Rose is quarterbacking and Tim Donaghy is reffing It's possible.
I don't gamble, enlighten me
You're saying the spread has an effect on the outcome of the game?
