Patriots Line Movement--Is Brady Hurt ???

[Keith]

I am seeing reports of an internet rumor that Brady suffered a concussion last week and that he won't play this week. Supposedly that is not true and he allegedly was a full participant in practice on Thursday.

So why did the line drop from 5.5 to 3 ??? Books know something we don't ???

[Keith]

Thursday Update *** QB Tom Brady (NE) practiced fully on Thursday. There was some internet buzz Thursday on Twitter with folks saying that Brady had suffered a head injury. Those reports all appear to be false. He practiced fully Thursday and at this point, is expected to play this week as normal.


(so why the 2.5 line drop then ????)

The game is off the board at a couple of books Keith. Where are you seeing a 3 listed, I can't find. Lowest I found is 3.5. Can't be sharp money hitting that and dropping it 2.5 pts in short span, I agree with you that something is askew??

it's 3 in my morning paper (NY Daily News---I believe they use America's Line, published by Ben Lee Eckstein out in Vegas). The books don't take the game off the board for no reason at all.

And NO ONE is talking about this.

It's a bit of a head scratcher for sure....the only thing I"m thinking is with the books that maybe have taken it off board, had dropped line and got hit hard on Patriots maybe/???/ and are unsure of movement so watching what others do....just a theory......other books are sitting at hard 4s with some with juice to miami and others to Nengland.......so there seems to be some discrepancy out there as to where to settle.....

I'd dive at this buying down to 3 if Tom is a go...no other player on the field should enact a panic move otherwise like pulling game....

still scratching head on this and trying to find out what's up.

his 2 point fantasy performance that night cost me a 1st round bye in my fantasy playoffs. Bastard better make up for it in my fantasy playoffs.

My local still has it at -4 for the Pats.

Thinking about jumping on the Dolphins.

IMO its a market correction. And sometimes when the line corrects itself via lopsided action or heavy money, they will take the game off board for a bit.

I personally was waiting for that Patriots line to grow. Was hoping to pick up +6 at gametime. Now it dropped back down, but I still LOVE Miami +4.

Fact: Pats only road win was against Tampa Bay.

In 3 of my offshore books it only moved from 4 to 5 and is not OTB, not a big deal over 4 days either is 1 pt. At BJ it has been off since last night.

that game was in london, so they still haven't won a real "road" game on the other teams home field

tell me about it. I was up 11 points going into Monday night. My opponent had Thomas (who got him 11 points) and Gostkowski (who got him 5 points). All I needed from Brady was 1 lousy passing TD (Brees had 5 !!). What's worse, I lost by 3 points, and had Brady simply made it to 300 yards passing (I believe he finished with 235) I would have won. Imagine how I felt to see them simply give up (disgraceful) and pull Brady, Moss and Welker, while down 21 with 4:30 to go.
