Now if something is too good to be true, it probably is. Last season, a LOT went right for the Jets. This year, you deal with a team missing Kendall on the line, and who'll be intergrating Thomas Jones for really his first meaningful action.

That said, they are GETTING 6 1/2 at home against the Patriots.

The Pats are obviously stout, probably the number 2 team in the NFL, no worse than the number three. But:

-No Harrison, No Seymour

-Brady, who's always battling shoulder whispers, but that MAY be a bit more tangible this year

-Maroney working witha dinged shoulder

-a squad missing their top reciever from last year

-a Moss who won't be 100 percent OR better yet, force fed to integerate into the offense

Ok, Welker has really gotten to be in vogue lately, especially by comparison of NFL pundits versus fantasy pundits. He'll be an awesome contributor. However, in his career against the Jets, he's put up:

10 catches for 107 yards with 0 TDs

in four games

Meanwhile, the Jets are at home, a year of Mangini under their belt, they've got Caldwell who was in the Pats last round of cuts no doubt sharing whatever was in the playbook.

I like Gang Green outright, but I can see backing off laying your gang of green on that, but I don't see how they don't cover that at home. Free money if you ask me to take the Jetsies and the points in this one.

 

[Sweet Love]

Jet fan here and all I have to say is "a fool and his money are soon departed". I hope I am wrong, but I think the Jets will get smoked.

 

[tombonneau]

Pats homer, I tend to agree that line is too high. Would be surprised to see Pats cover. Though:

a squad missing their top reciever from last year

Is hardly a reason. It's not like Caldwell left for greener pastures. He was asked to leave, and will be lucky to play in the NFL this season.If you want easy money, Pitt -4.5 all day every day.

I wasn't referring to a quality standpoint, more a measure of Brady's comfort zone with a guy. He had come to be someone to rely on down the stretch and in the post season lastyear. He's replacable, but the cohesion might just be lacking week one. I was remiss in not making that more clear though, that was basically my point.

 

[LBH]

Im a huge Jets fan and hope youre right, but I have a feeling the Jets will lose another close game to the Pats. So while I agree the Jets have a solid chance against the spread, I dont like their chances to win

Perspectives are interesting. Another way of looking at this is that Brady has always had WRs somewhere between mediocre and good, and building cohesion hasn't been an issue; fast-forward to this year and last year's reception leader isn't even good enough to make the team.I tell people constantly to watch out for the Jets this year because Eric got them to the playoffs almost without a running back and with a limp-armed QB.I'll be happy (eventually) to see the Pats go 3-3 until Seymour gets back healthy, because when he does we smoke everybody.

Well again, its not to say the sky is falling in New England. I think they're still a reasonable bet to win the game, but giving 6.5 on the road to a heated divisional rival, and the new reciever thing is just a new wrinkle in it. Time will tell and we'll see, I just think that spread is a little too high.

 

[PatsFanCT]

Good read and all, but I'd still bet the Pats if they were laying 20.

Huge losses but fortunately ones the team is used to

-Brady, who's always battling shoulder whispers, but that MAY be a bit more tangible this year

Doubt it as he was counting the # of throws he made or somesuch

-Maroney working witha dinged shoulder

I'd figure all that time off or time without contact was time to heal

-a squad missing their top reciever from last year

The one the Jets recently brought in for a tryout and didn't want?

-a Moss who won't be 100 percent OR better yet, force fed to integerate into the offense

Force fed? geesh he's had plenty of time

How many first downs though?

Jones has gotta be there and be effective. Washington was good last year but they needed a punch from the backfield each week last year. Houston and Barlow are gone. The Pats matchup extremely well with the Jets IMO.

 

[AB in DC]

Another Pats fan here, and I don't think the Pats should be favored by more than 3, if that. Should be a close game.

Please PM me if your interested in getting any of that free money. It be happy to give the Jets 6 1/2 all weekend long. To the site mods this is not an invitation to gamble, I'm just trying to show that the Pats bet is the money bet all day long. Unless you guys think that gambling posts are O.K., in that case please PM me and I'll take your money too, unless it would get you fired by Joe or Dodds, but if Joe or Dodds like the jets tell them to PM me. My local priest told me I have a gambling problem, he's the only one I gave 7 points to so don't ask. I didn't even give 7 points to that corrupt NBA official and he threw a few games for me!

This line make zero sense to me. I know the Brownies Oline is improved, but how are they gonna keep pace with the Stillers, who seem to me superior in every facet but TE.

Not only that, they OWN the Browns. Per FBG Trend-Spotting (yet ANOTHER reason to subscribe to FBG -- consolidated "duh" info at the tip of your fingers):

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cleveland Browns * The Steelers are 7-1 against the Browns in the last eight meetings * The Steelers have scored 26.2 PPG while the Browns have averaged just 15.0 PPG * The Steelers are 4-0 in Cleveland, outscoring the Browns 25.5 to 9.0

Anyone still feel like taking Cleveland?

Whenever I see a line like this it screams trap game. Like the bookies know something we don't. But I can't figure this one out. We'll have to revisit this after Sunday. Sure seems like easy $$$, but again, the bookies are too f'n good to make this such an obvious pick. There must be something we're missing?

 

[twitch]

New England beat these guys by 21 last year in the playoffs. I think this game will be similar. Betting on this spread is just what Vegas wants you to do. So make 'em proud and back your boys. Good luck with that.

Good read and all, but I'd still bet the Pats if they were laying 20.

The funny thing is you probably would.Isn't it time yet for the Pats fans around here to start whining about how they still don't get any respect?

A valid question, but no we can't really play that card anymore. The Jets on the other hand are being under-estimated by the collective media. It is not far fetched in my mind that the Jets win the East this year, considering the Patriots have one of the four most difficult schedules in the leage this year.Like any fans, we are hoping for the best case scenario, which to me is a healthy Richard Seymour, Bruschi, Seau, Harrison, Colvin, Thomas, Samuel, Wilfork, Randy Moss and Donte Stalworth. Seymour is out until week 6 and Harrison is suspended for the first four games, so I look at it like spotting the rest of the league 3 losses through week 6. However, the additions on offense and what appears to be a concerted effort on the part of the whole organization to add significant firepower to the offense has me almost rabid waiting to see what The Dark Sith Lord (BB) has been cookin.

[Ghost Rider]

Call me crazy, but back in my betting days, I would usually not bet on an underdog of less than a touchdown unless I thought they were going to win the game outright.

Hop into your time machine my man and set it for six years into the future. This is 2007, the Pats haven't pulled the respect card in six years. Of course the Pats haters tend to pull it out every time they have nothing else to come back with. Which is probably why it's still fresh in your memory.

Glad I listened to myself and took the real free money. Man, I knew Pitt was going to kill Cleveland. Easy money.

 

[NY/NJMFDIVER]

Well, I'll take my medicine and give all the credit in the world to New England. Any of my meager concerns were soundly answered in that game, and I'm already looking foward to Week 9 when they visit Indy and I think both squads could be undefeated. I don't see how you'll slow this offense down, because Moss will warrant the double cover and away you go with the other open options. Great game by the Pats and a bad prediction by me.

But I'll tip a hat to my fellow FBGers who swayed me to lay some green on the Steelers, so they kept me at a push for the day minus the vig.
