Still no line at my book on this game.    
Meanwhile I see it opened at -17 and is up to -22 and even -23.5 at some places!

I'd like to continue on the NE train, but beyond 22.5 gets a little risky.
Patriots saw their two starting RBs go out with injuries against Buffalo.  Faulk with a head injury, possible concussion, and Maroney with some sort of foot injury. 

https://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/articles/2007/11/20/patriots_running_a_bit_low/

Meanwhile NcNabb has a bad thumb in addition to a bad ankle.

I will likely still play on the Pats minus whatever, but still waiting on a line.  Even with backups at RB, they can still get the job done, and block and clap for Brady and Moss.  My guess is the book would prefer to close the book on the Patriots from here on in.

Holy spread Batman!!!

more or less, that's +4 possessions with TD's compared to Philly scoring nothing.

BUT, I of course will probably take NE 

One thing to keep in mind..Belichick always schemes to take away the opponents key cog...he took away Clark in the Colts game, Evans more or less in the Buffalo game (although Im guessing they were keying on Lynch)...he will take away Westbrook in this game.
ALSO, remember, certain Eagle players made comments regarding the Patriots and their Super Bowl victory, and how they cheated. Big mistake.

wow, Vegas opened it up at -23.5  ... excuse the language, but that is f*cking absurd. I mean, the Eagles aren't even the worst team in the league. What is it going to be for the Jets / Dolphins???

I don't know if I can touch this. Might look at the half.

Think about it guys.......the book has been taking in the ass no matter what the number they put on NE.........This will be the highest spread in the history of the NFL by weeks end.........poeple are gonna keep betting on the Pats.....so the book is gonna take all the protection they can until things get back to a reasonble outcome with thier games.........by the way the largest spread in the history of the NFL was covered by the dog.
Take the points......this is the time of year that Philly plays it's best year in and year out.......they will get beat......but the madness has to end somewhere........all the late comers are gonna jump on the Pats and think that they will continue to cover at a pace never seen before.........it just can't keep up..........get on the book's side of this one....especially if you are playing with thier money on Sunday night!!!

INDY wasnt the only game
 
CINCY and NE went Under as well
 
I hope NE covers just so the point spread will be even higher on the next game

Poor Vegas/Bookies, wah wah wah!! My local pisses his pants everytime the Pats play. I love to hear him cry every tue when I go to get my cabbage.Last week I got DEEP into him on the Pats Bills game. ((Pats straight up, Pats and over, Pats at the half Mortgage paid for 3 months on one game, Bookie Wah WahWah . I think the only thing we have to worry about is the MOB ordering a hit on Brady cause thats all that is going to stop the Pats from running the table and filling our bank accounts.thank you MR.Brady!!!!!!
 
(( AS for this game PATS - whatever they come up with, I AINT SCARED OF NO SPREAD)) Pats 70 Iggles 3

We will see new point spread records (if there are no major injuries) on the Jets and Miami games later on. Philly just not playing good football can't see them keeping this close unless some bad NE weather come ins and hinders the aerial attack

Most Vegas books are taking Patriots games off the board because they are losing money on them.  If the spread was 30 I'd probably still take it.  The Pats have given us no reason to believe they won't score (or try to score) 50. Why get off the train now?

I was listening to ESPN Radio today,    and they were interviewing The Manager of the Hilton in Las Vegas, he said that Vegas may take the Patriots off the board for the rest of the Season.  He said the Bookies are getting Demolished!!!  
Pats will cover  35pts. here
 
Pats - 52
 
Eagles - 12
 
Happy Turkey Day All & Good Luck!

Ok, I respect most of the posters opinions on Covers.com however I will be the one to go against the grain here.  I think, for just the second time this year, New England won't cover.  Why you ask?  This seems like a set up to me.  22.5 points, or whatever it winds up being seems very on the money for this game.  Miami, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Dallas, and Cincinnati have all gotten within 21 points.  Thats half their opponents.   Philadelphia has only been beaten by that margin twice, Dallas and Detroit.  If McNabb plays and Westbrook is fine, Philadelphia stays within 22 points.  I think most of the public will continue to ride NE and the bookies are getting killed, they have to make their money back eventually.  My call, Philadelphia covers this huge amount of points.

I finally got a line on this, and put two units on NE -22.
Happy Thanksgiving! 

Considering over 50... my concern is Philly may not score at all, as it seems McNabb will be out.  Pats will key on Westbrook, their only weapon.  The Pats D is not getting anywhere near the attention the offense is, but they are nearly as dominant.

Also just a tad concerned the Pats may have little to no running game, as both Maroney and Faulk left the game with injuries last week.  I expect Maroney to play, Faulk not so sure as he had a concussion.  Yes I know the backups did just fine in garbage time.  Of course they CAN score 50, but the question is WILL they?   Probably will but holding out for the injury report.
