Just because people bet the Patriots, that doesn't mean they're good (see: Cowboys).
Yeah - it's all just that simple.

I hope you bet the Jets on Sunday. Meyer Lansky will love them and so would I if I haven't observed how games like that are truly traps far more often than not.

Go to a sports bar this week and ask 20 people for a score in that game - I'd bet 18 have the Jets covering.

I don't bet football, but I have a good idea how lines are constructed. The Pats are still being wildly overvalued by people because of their increasingly distant history, just like the Cowboys. Whether or not it's a trap game for the Jets -- it probably is -- is irrelevant to the Pats and your defense of them getting gashed by Harvard's finest.
