The market has spoken and here is what it has said:
1/1 New England Patriots +1.5 vs 5/6 Buffalo Bills -1. O/U 45
The Patriots opened as 5/6 favorites (-1 ) however consistent pressure out of Western New York has pushed the spread almost a full field goal (2.5) the other way. Tom Brady has been involved in 26 games against Buffalo with New England winning 23 and losing 3: Week 17 last season (while the Patriots rested their starters for their 2014 Super Bowl Run), a 31-0 aberration opening day (Week One) 2003 (where Brady threw 4 Picks and no TD's which spurred the Patriots on to a 17-1 record the rest of the season culminating in the 2003 Super Bowl) and without much attached drama on another 4 Interception day from Brady Week Three 2011. Any team can win any game on any given day and if Brady throws 4 interceptions today the Patriots will likely lose as Brady has lost all 6 (of 210) of his regular season 4 interception games. A shift of 2 1/2 points in a game expected to be as close as this one is massive. Mobile quarterbacks, going back to Miami unleashing the Wildcat of the modern day NFL against New England in 2008, have given the Patriots trouble in the past however Belichick has adjusted to them pretty well over the years. New England does tend to lose more in September than in the later months but all of these things are looking for the exception. With the points, the Patriots make more sense than ever
Selection: New England Patriots @ 1/1 for 5 units/New England Patriots +1.5 for 5 units – 10 (16)
11/5 San Francisco 49ers +6 vs 5/13 Pittsburgh Steelers -6 O/U 45.5
The 49ers drop yet again this week, down to 5 1/2 points. Their defence sure looked good bottling up Peterson and with Levion Bell out in Steeltown we expect that San Francisco can keep the score down so 5 1/2 is still a pretty big number for them. We are sticking with the earlier wager at +6.
Selection: San Francisco 49ers @ 11/5 for 2 units / San Francisco 49ers +6 @ 10/11 for 2 units -4 (40)
