I have to agree. His article was nothing more than a report on football betting and public perception of the Patriots, not a direct critique.That's a good and interesting and non-critical article... the title "Dr Z is next" seems to imply it's not and is misleading.
If the Pats were 11-1 the spread would likely be a lot lower, which is why Patriots bettors wouldn't be as nervous as they are this week.
Does this clown's act never get old? Same old stupid stuff about how the Pats are "gonna lose" and how now the league has the "blueprint". I swear this guy never gets tired of being wrong. This article is almost as bad as his knob polishing of Peyton Manning after the guy threw like 3 picks to lose to the Chargers.

and not a good one at that. The oddsmakers try to get even action on each side and it's more an attempt to get even action than it is a reflection of the predicted outcome. The reason the spreads went to 20+ was to offset the heavy betting in NE's favor. Now people are betting the other side and spreads are coming down ( it happens and you cover 9/10 times and then don't twice in a row.....)
