Is the NFL always on the up and up? Maybe, maybe not. I can see both sides of the arguement and any time that much money is involved there is a greater risk for some funny business. But that game was a legit beatdown. On both sides of the line.

Well then you're reading what I initially wrote too literally. The Jets didn't need any help in the second half. They took care of it on their own quite nicely, even with their best player going down. But if they did, you damn well better believe the flags would have been flying in their favor. The post was an extension on a conversation Coach and I and others had last week.

IMO Most NFL games are on the up and up. I try to bet the low profile games like STL-OAK or ARI-ATL this week, or totals. Less TV's = less likelihood of the bookies getting one sided = better chance to have an outcome decided fairly. FYI the Jets-Pats line moved 4 points which is almost unheard of in the NFL. On top of that it was far and away the highest profile game on the day involving a team from the #1 market.

For what it's worth I KNEW the Jets were the right side today and didn't have the balls to bet them.
