JOJOTOWNSELL Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 i remember starting a thread about that 26.5 point spread in the Jag/Broncos game. Jets may not score this week for real. http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/nfl-week-16-early-odds-jets-Cheaters-opens-as-largest-point-spread-in-three-years/ If the Cheaters are going to cover the spread against the Jets this week, they're going to have to turn the game into a rout because oddsmakers have hit New England with the largest point spread in three years. The Cheaters have officially opened as a 16.5 point favorite over the Jets, which is the highest point spread of the season, and the highest point spread in any NFL game since October 2013, when the Broncos closed as a 26.5 point favorite over the Jaguars. This is the kind of point spread you get when Vegas keeps losing money on a team, and they keep losing money on the Cheaters. New England is 11-3 against the spread this year, making them the safest NFL bet of 2016. Of course, the ugliness of the Jets season also plays into the large point spread. Their starting quarterback ( Bryce Petty) is banged up and their backup quarterback (Ryan Fitzpatrick) throws interceptions like it's his job. Betting a spread this big is never easy, however, history seems to favor the underdog. According to Pro Football Reference, in the past 20 instances where a team has been favored by 16 or more points, the underdog has gone 14-5-1 against the spread. The Jaguars of 2013 were one of the teams that ended up covering. As a 26.5 point underdog, the Jags ended up losing by "just" 16 (35-19). The Jets-Cheaters game will mark the ninth time in the Brady-Belichick era that the Cheaters have been favored by 16 or more points. In those nine games, the Cheaters are 9-0 straight-up, but just 3-6 against the spread. If there is one sure bet here, it's betting on the Cheaters to win. Since 1990, there have been 59 teams that have been favored by 16 or more points and those teams have gone 56-3 straight-up. The last time a team lost in this scenario came in 1995 when the 17-point underdog Redskins beat the Cowboys 24-17. If you take out the Cheaters game, the next biggest spread in Week 16 is just 7.5 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crimson King Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 An outright win would be most entertaining against this spread. Don't say no way because there is always a chance in any NFL game, just not a particularly good one in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This same team pretty much lost to the Pats by 5 at home, maybe they lose by 8 or 14 but it's a long road to hoe put it another way if somehow the Jets go up 3-0 or 7-0 on their first drive that cover is never getting there.

I know they played close in their last meeting, but this team has nothing left in the tank and nothing to play for. The only salvation is that the offense rallies around Petty because the kid is exciting. Can't wait to watch Revis play at 70pct (not due to injury, just due to desire) and watch Mo Wilk get sandwich blocked by tight ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
