dude, you have to look at a larger picture.. I know full well he got alot of passing yards, so what? he's still a pro but that doesnt mean he's not declining. he's smarter but less physically gifted, thats just the way life naturally goes.

you dont have to see some extreme for it to be true. The Pats right now are like the Broncos and Elway in their first 3 Super Bowls. Good enough to get there,but not good enough to win. And Brady at this point is like Montana with the Chiefs. Sure, he's a dang good QB, but it wont be enough in the end.

they set the line so Patriots band wagon jumpers who never bet before would bet in The Pats favor. I bet the majority of the bets by people right now are for the Giants to cover or beat the spread. Yes of course bookies are in it to profit, but they know full well that people who always bet or know football are counting on the Giants to win..they put the Patriots at - 3 to see how many people actually believe that or bite on it Before they swing the line the other way if they ever do.
