I'm surprised they called the Gaffney bobble a TD.

How did Ravens +21 be a Win when they lost?

I don't get it.

If Brady thinks he got Sacked alot tonight, wait until he plays my NFL leading NY Giants in sacks.

But they'll probably still not have enough to beat him. Then again I think the Steelers have to play them and I think theyll beat the Pats..

The Patriots are reminding me of the 2000 Minnesota Vikings. All the offense in the world, were 7-0 with back then that beinga big deal towards undefeated, but as the year winded down, they slowly started to deteriorate and not even make the SUperbowl.

I think history will repeat itself.

Because Ravens +21 means they had to lose by less than 21 points(or win) and that is a win.

Are you questioning the validity of the great equalizer I call the point spread?

No Harms I'm not, just wanting clarification. I am remedial in my understanding of point spreads.

Thanks. I think I have it now.

Not a fan of the point equalizer.

Speaking of the ‘point equalizer’...shouldn't there be 1 to 1 odds...isn't that the point of the spread to make the game seemingly even?

Yup but I guess they gotta incorporate the vig somehow.

Since there isn't a house techinically on FF, there shouldn't be a problem with 1-1 odds. I'd be happy with .91 odds on every bet though. Don't see why some games are .83 or something like that. Only Jras can answer these questions.
