It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Colin Cowherd made some great points on how people are overrating the Giants defense and acting like the Pats have no chance, especially since the last time they played NE had 4 TOs and 400+ yards of offense and was leading going into the Two minute warning. Finally someone pointed out the obvious.
I'm pretty sure Joe Montana picked the Pats.
Which moron in Vegas decided that our Patiots should be 3 point favorites? Hardly anyone outside of New England thinks that they can win. Hell, some of our local homer media even think that their chances are slim. :bricks:
The Las Vegas line does not have anything to do with who is the favorite. It is based on getting people to bet in a way that the house will win no matter how the game turns out.
I never understand why people always say this.
Yes, they make their $$$ in the margins, and that's also why they decided the Patriots giving 3 points would be good for business. It would make people take that bet. But, since 65% of the betting public is taking that bet, Vegas stands to lose a heap of money if the Patriots don't win.
Therefore, Vegas is taking the Patriots.
We have to just face it. Only a small percentage of "experts" believe we can win. No sense in looking for comfort there. We win Sunday. That is all.
Meatball and Mangirl (aka Mike and Mike) both picked the Giants. Meatball 17-14 and Mangirl 34-20, I believe. Chris Berman picked the Pats 27-24. Montana waffled saying that the Giants will win if they can get to Brady and if not, they pretty much have no chance. C. Carter picked the Giants 324-0. Oh, wait, that'll come Sunday.Clay Mathews likes Pats, just on Mike and Mike.
