Last week, I explained how a couple of principles on betting football clearly dictated the pick. Then I ignored those principles, opposed the pick ... and lost. Twice.
Well, laying 8.5 points on the road in the NFL is a recipe for disaster, but Bill and Tom are still pissed off after the deflategate nonsense, the team is rested off a bye week and bringing the juggernaut into town against a Dallas team with a rookie CB covering the Gronk, Brandon 'Bert' Weeden under centre, Dez Bryant missing and Greg Hardy on the line.
Shucks.
Pick: New England Patriots -8.5 @ 2
Pick: 1st TD Julian Edelman @ 10
Pick: Anytime TD LaGarrette Blount @ 2.2
