NFL: Will The Patriots Rise Again?
It wasn’t that long ago that the New England Patriots were a near surefire bet.
The sportsbooks couldn’t put up a number high enough on them as they steamrolled their way to a perfect 8-0 straight up and 8-0 ATS mark through the first half of the 2007 season.
And while Tom Brady and crew continued on chasing the perfect season in the second half, the tide turned for the sports betting community, as a combination of sky-high pointspreads and opposing team’s ability to somewhat gameplan for them, kept things closer. The result was an 8-0 run straight up, but only a 2-6 mark against the spread.
