When was the last time the Patriots beat the point spread?

JoeSixPat · Jan 14, 2008

After having a run of games where they never failed to beat the point spread, is it just my imagination or have the Pats failed to beat the point spread for several months now?

I can't remember the last time that happened. Can someone remind me?

Steelers game. I think it was between 13.5 and 15.5 points.

We're 2-7 against the spread in the last 9. Forget if that includes Jax or not.

The point spread is irrelevant. It represents what the betting public is doing and since more money is layed down on the Pats the bookies must raise the line until the money starts getting dropped on their opposition. The bookies truelly want a 50-50 money split.
BTW did you ever notice how casino routinly tear down 100million dollar hotel to build 500million dollar hotels, Who do you think pays for them. Those guys know their business.

Pats 2-6 ATS in last 8 regulars, the 2 covers are Buffalo and Pitts games.
2-7 including PO (Jacksonville). Many sharp bettors have picked against Pats consistently after Philly games

Not always 50-50 every game. 50-50 over all games yes. The house does win big when much more $ comes in on the losing side. They are called suckers bets.

After the Bills game Vegas just went insane.

Right. And loses big when much more $ comes in on the winning side.

Not sure what the point is. Vegas doesn't have any better information than the pros who do this for a living and will jump all over a wrong line.

Vegas doesn't gamble. They leave that to the customers.
