You guys do realize that Rex hasn't been "rolled" by the Patriots in over 5 years? Every game he's coached since he became HC with the Jets has been close. This is going to be a nail biter. That's why the spread is so low. If Rex knows anything it's how to beat Brady. His team just has to show up.
Thanks. What is a reverse trap and how would that work in this instance?
He plays the Patriots better than any other HC in the NFL (not counting 2007 and 2012 Coughlin). He lives for these games and his schemes usually do well against Brady. He's very good at drawing up exotic blitzes up the middle to prevent Brady from stepping up. If he puts the team in the position to win tomorrow he deserves a lot of credit.
The line opened at 4 and got pushed all the way to 7 offshore and 6.5 in Vegas. The books are absolutely terrified of a Pats cover. This is almost identical to the Steelers-Dolphins game 2 weeks ago. Low closing line that everyone thought was easy money. If it seems to good to be true....it always is. I'm hoping to snag Bills ML at +240 tomorrow morning. It's +225 at MGM and +220 everywhere else. You living in Vegas by any chance?
Fun facts for you guys from a Vegas analytics Bills fan
Rex has kept the Patriots within 8 points in all of his last 7 games dating back to his Jets days. The most popular bet this week at all Vegas books and offshore sites is Patriots -6.5 by far. About 95% of the money is on the Pats covering. Books around the world are set to lose ~50 million if the Pats cover. Expect a very close game with some weird illegal contact, holds, roughing the passer type penalties that go the Bills way. Don't be surprised if the Bills win outright. You heard it here first.
4) before the half? I thought he played it perfect. We were playing for a field goal knowing we got the ball to start the 3rd.
6) Fisher made 2 awful calls at the end of the game. Coaches have lost their jobs over less.
8) Dude is an absolute baller. Very few mistakes. Fred Jackson is smiling.
9) Gilmore has become one of the most inconsistent DBs I've ever watched. He flashes some serious recovery speed and ball skills.
I live in Vegas and watch everything. Where do you rank Tyrod overall compared to the other 31 starting QBs? I've seen some pretty terrible interceptions, believe it or not.
So we cut him next year right? You guys are out of your mind.
Would Tyrod have won the SB last year as the Broncos starting QB? Yes.
Play D, force turnovers, don't turn the ball over, put enough points up to win games ON THE ROAD.
Just curious, how many QBs throw that TD pass to Justin Hunter? Maybe 5? I know you gave him his props on his 1st quarter, but if we don't put up 6 there, I think we lose this game.
