Hey, UV, I was just having a little fun. Heck, I completely agree on paper the Pats should crush the Dolphins this week. It's just the recent history of the Patriots playing in Miami has been comical.
So if you want to make that bet, go ahead I guess. But I was never trying to goad anyone into making such a bet, which I think I made clear in one of my posts.
If you want to just make a gentleman's bet, how about whoever loses the bet has to write something like, "and so-and-so is always right," or whatever?
Btw, while I'm not a professional gambler, the way I've always heard it is that in the NFL you you always take the hometown dog when the spread is over a TD. Mathematically you always come out ahead, or something like that.
Usually I follow that guideline. In college the lines can be so skewed that you kind of have to use a different set of rules, in my limited experience (I don't bet college games much).
