Sunday night football. Another primetime stinker. Sun 12/4 373 Indianapolis Colts +21 -104 Over 48 -118 374 New England Patriots -21 -104 Under 48 +107 edit: NBC flexed out of this game, so it's actually being played at 1 PM.
You're right - it's going to be Detroit at New orleans, which should be a very good game. Edit: already noted above.
Whoops, schedule hasn't been adjusted. Next week still shows that as SNF. I'll adjust the first post. http://content.usatoday.com/communi...ts-flexed-to-primetime-replacing-colts-pats/1 Here's something different: A Detroit Lions' game being seen as more made-for-TV than one involving the New England Patriots. That's happened. NBC's late-season primetime games have flexible scheduling, meaning the league can replace an already-scheduled game with a matchup seen as having more national appeal. And thanks to the Indianapolis Colts' hapless season, the Dec. 4 Indianapolis-New England game originally slated for NBC's primetime will now be relegated to an early-afternoon CBS slot. And Detroit-New Orleans, which had been in an early-afternoon Fox slot, will now get the NBC primetime window.
I agree. That's why I'm betting on New England to go one and out in the playoffs for the third season in a row.
I'll laugh if Belidick runs it up just cause it's Indy. Should be a cake walk for NE*, would love a miraculous Indy win though.
I've never seen a regular spread over 16 points. I could never take a team favored by 21no matter who's playing who and I would certainly be scared to take this Colts team with plus 21 too lol.
highest in recent history was patriots/eagles in the post-spygate season where belicheat was running it up relentlessly. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3120882 PHILADELPHIA -- Just three seasons after being separated by just three points in Super Bowl XXXIX, the gap between the Patriots and Eagles has widened to historic proportions: Philly is a 23½-point underdog. That is the largest point spread for an NFL game that does not involve an expansion team, according to odds-making experts in Las Vegas. On Dec. 5, 1976, the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers were 24-point underdogs to the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers covered easily, winning 42-0. "Nowadays, you don't see too many spreads over 16 or 17 points," said Sean Van Patten, an oddsmaker at Sports Consultants in Las Vegas. "That's because most teams take their starters out in the fourth quarter of a lopsided game. The Patriots don't. I call this phenomenon The [Bill] Belichick Factor."
