We have the D to match up w/them. Our offense is a different story, but 16.5 is crazy. rypper11 10-23-2007, 09:07 AM I actually see this spread going up. If Smoot and Rogers are too hurt to practice and Springs is still coping with family problems then the line could hit 20. I hope Gibbs puts that line on every door into the practice facility. As a player on a 4-2 team you gotta be pissed to see what the oddsmakers think of you. Chief X_Phackter 10-23-2007, 09:08 AM Same spread as their last game in Miami if I remember correctly. They have been huge favorites like this all year and haven't disappointed. I do believe that our D has a chance to slow them down though, but it will be up to the offense to move the ball and keep their offense off the field. I'd say we have a 50/50 chance...depending on if the offense shows up. freddyg12 10-23-2007, 09:15 AM I actually see this spread going up.

As a player on a 4-2 team you gotta be pissed to see what the oddsmakers think of you. good point, hadn't thought of that though I read that both say they will play, no update on springs' dad yet. We need all of them to match up w/their wr's. They haven't faced a secondary as tough as ours. The bigger concern w/our D is the pass rush. Their o-line has been awesome this year. We likely can't get much pressure w/just 4. drew54 10-23-2007, 09:16 AM What is the over under line? Huge upset, highly unlikely. Close hard fought our guts out win, that seems more likely. I would say Skins by 3, 24 - 21 Monkeydad 10-23-2007, 09:24 AM They haven't played any good pass Ds yet, even Dallas is a middle-of-the-league (ranked #15 in pass D) and aren't very good. We have dropped from #3 last week to #5 in D, but still have the #1 D in the NFC. If anyone has a chance against them (before the Colts), it's us. But, Coach Gibbs... "We'll probably be the biggest underdog in the history of sports," coach Joe Gibbs said Monday. "Has anything held up against them? Do you have a game plan that will work against them? If you do, leave it here. Because I don't think anybody else has got one right now. We're going to struggle hard." dmek25 10-23-2007, 09:37 AM i love it when the skins and coach play the poor , downtrodden thing. ill bet they will have some heted practices this week Gmanc711 10-23-2007, 09:42 AM The Pats have been covering those huge spreads all year. I'm pretty sure they are 7-0 ATS. The only team that I think was close to covering was Clevleland (I'm pretty sure that was 16.5, and they won by 17)..... I mean sure its an "insult" and great locker room material....but these guys deserved to be favored by that much. I'm glad, I like being the big dogs. sandtrapjack 10-23-2007, 09:52 AM Oct. 28 Washington 1:15 p.m. at New England Favorite NE NE NE Point spread -16½ -16½ -16 I understand they are statistically the best team in memory, but 16½? Isn't that a little excessive? For the record, I'd probably bet the Pats, but still... Through the first 6 games the Patriots have outscored opponents 230-92. No, that spread is NOT excessive.
