Tease Pats +8 with UNDER 63.5

[Spooner]

Good bet?

I'm highly considering this tease.

 

[spidey07]

I'd take that all the way to the bank.

 

[slayer202]

what does that payout lol...

 

[HopJokey]

Where do you get a 6.5 point tease?

 

[Spooner]

line is currently at +2 with a 57.5 spread

6 point tease pays -110

500 wins 454

I'm having a hard time thinking this won't hit.

this means that the Patriots can WIN or LOSE by 8 or less points to cover that portion of the bet

combined with the total score of the game (both teams) will be less that 64 points

It's not guaranteed. But it's a good bet, real good. Only concern would be the under with both teams 1 and 2 ranked offenses.

I'd be worried about the Under as well.

It's only a problem if you lose more than you win.

I agree with spidey and HopJokey.

 

[spidey07]

I'd be worried about the Under as well.

A lot of times when big offense teams meet both defenses step up their level of play.

another concern:

since 1980, there have only been 5 NFL spreads above 57 points, and all 5 hit for the over ! D:

500 dollars could buy approximately 460 junior bacon cheeseburgers.

Oompf. Nice bit of info. I still think it's a good bet.

Anytime I could make money off pats losing is like double happiness.

 

[Spooner]

the other potential would be to go the other way and tease Pats +8 and OVER 51.5 but that doesn't seem as juicy

I could buy 3 beers for that.

[Spooner]

hilarious

[HardcoreRobot]

i expect a lot of points. 64 though? maybe not, but that is not a sure thing to me.

 

[Capt Caveman]

I'd take the points but I'm thinking it's going to be over 64. I can't see either team's defense slowing down the other's offense. Especially, since we're indoors on turf.

 

[Legendary]

yeah i would take that bet

 

[PepePeru]

with a O/U like that all it takes is a couple FGs, a couple 9-12 play drive or a a low scoring first quarter to blow an over out of the water.

Each team has to score 4 TDs and then some?

I'd bet the under and that +8 is tasty, indeed.

 

[Doodoo]

I'll go against everyone and say I'd be more worried about the +8.

no way - there's no way either team blows either team out of this game
