not a good matchup for the texans imo and could give us an indicator of who wins the likely playoff match
i reckon we could see some big points in this one. |
|
By:
agreed
|
|
By:
wrong boys. we are going to see the pats cant stop the run. houston win this one. 4 point start a bonus.
|
|
By:
And Houston can't stop the pass. Pats will outscore them - FACT
|
|
By:
Pats cant stop the run????? what planet are you on...big vince can stop the run
|
|
By:
bad weather and Pats O with lots of injuries...if the match is close I expect Texans to play conservative and try to win time of possesion and keep Brady on the bench...24-20 Pats
|
|
By:
Pats being HAMMERED in here line went from -3 to -5 in less than 24 hours. Houston now looking very very good value imo with 5 points a start. They will run the ball all day and eat the clock i don't see how the Pats can stop the run and Foster thus keepin Brady benched. Terrific value on your 11-1 Texans. Weather to be real bad too difficult to throw as stated above.
|
|
By:
What type of weather is "bad weather"? - Brady loves throwing in the snow. Wind and rain is a different kettle of fish altogether.
|
|
By:
Meant to be both tonight. Wind AND Rain possible sleet. Cannot believe the price of Houston the Brady hype machine in full drive AGAIN. Houston have a better all round team as there record shows. Already beat Chicago and Denver away and won 6 out of 6 on the road. CARAZY PRICE.
|
|
By:
Chicago and Denver flatter to deceive. Not saying Denver aren't playing well under Manning just they are not top ranked side imhoo. Got busted by Packers and Pats are stronger than Packers at the moment. Packers busted Oilers too. Ok they spanked Baltimore but have not been playing top sides. Lies damned lies and statistics, Houston comes unstuck tonight and my money is on it! Handicap markets too illiquid so more than happy taking 1-2 moneyline

You sure about that weather? According to Accuweather there will be rain but winds of only 7mph at Foxboro tonight
http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/foxboro-ma/02035/hourly-weather-forecast/2251291?hour=19 I mean the weather is a small factor in any game generally unless it's extremes of cold I think the Patriots will get it done tonight with minimum fuss |
|
By:
Rain Rain Rain - great news for us Houston backers.
|
|
By:
Light rain, light rain, light rain lol. Forecast to be reasonably windy which may indeed have a factor in the game. think the handicap is about correct at 50. Toss up. Either way Pats win. This is a typical December signature game for them. Bull-i-check will have them ready for this one.
|

By:
Line is now 5.5. I have NE as one of my superbowl bets but very very tempted to get involved on the texans handicap. They played really well in the horrible conditions in Chicago, where the 'home town' bears couldnt cope with them.

Foster average less than 4yards a run...pats have no probs stopping the run |
|
By:
I thought the line was pretty accurate at 3.5 so gotta laydavis and bet plus 6 here
|
|
By:
Read yesterday that fans in Boston area expected heavy rain and plenty of tickets was out on ticketexchange..
|
|
By:
I don't think I've ever see a line move so much, and from 3 points as well. Spread is 6 points now. Mad stuff.
|
|
By:
6 points in very wet and windy conditions is the bet of the year. Have Houston got a flu virus or the **** or something? Usually if it seems to good to be true then it usually is.

Weather will improve into this evening
|

By:
Currently doing a rain dance. Big old wide stadium at Gillette no roof and wind can get in the four corners. :)

unders for me
|
|
By:
two of the best offences v two of the worst defences youd be crazy to back unders!
|
|
By:
overs for me...
|
|
By:
Not sure how Houstons D is one of the worst in league...4th scoring D and tied league best with SF49ers only giving up 20+ points four times. I wouldn't say they are a top five D when Cushing is out, but certainly not one of the worst
|
|
By:
Raining now, snow by 9pm-9.30 est apparently
|
|
By:
Thunderstorms moving in?? The worse the weather the more I fancy unders and Texans.
|
|
By:
Both teams have played some absolute tripe this season so far
Pats have beaten 2 teams with a winning record and Texans have beaten 3 i cant believe we are looking at the two SB favs with a whopping 5 wins in 24 against teams with a winning record. |
|
By:
I fancy 9ers and broncos over these 2. Good to hear the weathers going bad :D
|
|
By:
You can pretty much say that about most team with a winning record! Not sure how anyone cant see Pats as fav or at least top 3 tbh...
|
|
By:
49ers and Broncos combine 5 wins as well for example..
|

quite an interesting table |
|
By:
Never seen the interesting with strength of schedule, Texans surely been lucky in a few games...Pats are four points from 12-0 was 9-12 pts up in 4th Q at Ravens and Seahawks
|
|
By:
i dont use it to judge individual games but its very interesting to see which teams are consistently beating the better teams
Gives a good idea of the teams that have been tested going into the playoffs. Big two games for the Pats here and will be interesting to see how they go against two of the better teams in NFL |
|
By:
i agree about the Texans though, they have been lucky.
if you can control JJ Watt you beat the texans imo |
|
By:
Well all I can say is that NO team consistently beating better teams in NFL 2012. Broncos tough schedule but lost to Falcons, Texans and Pats..easily..
|
|
By:
Going for over 9.5 first quarter @ 1.73 good luck to me!
|
|
By:
im on dsax
thats a great price imo |
|
By:
Good luck to us!
