If you want a value bet....If by some miracle Jacksonville can beat New England...there's no reason to think they then couldn't beat either Minnesota or Philly.

It was Flutie vs Miami.

If it makes you feel better Gip. When they start calling it "The World Bowl" Steeler fans are all out of luck.

Truth and accuracy...that is all. And unlike the attitude of current fans....IF they do something as you suggest...Steeler titles will still count.

Oh without a doubt no real money to be made on the NE 6/5 unless you want to lay a ton and risk more......sure thing or not with the Belichick Bombers.

2017-2018 has been a wierd year right up to New Orleans beating Minnesota oooops who just might grab home field and home noise advantage in SB LII !

And this.....

MIN at PHI next Sunday what will happen there? Will anybody get blackjack (21)? Currently MIN -3' and O/U 38.

And JAX at NE with NE -9 and the O/U is 46'.......take the points? JAX +9, hmmmmmm, or a sucker's dream?

You are always posting the betting lines. Do you frequently bet on these games?

I used to bet a lot years back especially when I started down the mill at 18 bookies were everywhere ! Now more like pick ems and parlays and not much. Most of my old bookies are retired to Florida now or 6 feet under. I got pretty good at it.

It's just an old hobby I guess.

The back story, does JAX have a shot? Then the backup quarterbacks championship game? Vegasinsider.com NFL home story......

Minutes after the Jaguars completed their shock 45-42 win over the Steelers in Sunday’s AFC divisional playoff game, the Westgate SuperBook in Las Vegas installed the Patriots as 8-point home favorites vs. Jacksonville for next weekend’s conference title tilt (3:05 p.m. ET, CBS).

Considering the Jags were gifted seven points at Pittsburgh, -8 felt like a generous offer on the Patriots. An early-to-the-window wiseguy agreed with that notion and immediately laid the points at the Westgate.

Ed Salmons, manager of the SuperBook, said when he and his colleagues earlier on Sunday mulled the point spread for a potential Jaguars-Patriots matchup, they were thinking New England -9.5. After watching Jacksonville in fine form at Pittsburgh, though, they decided to hang a lower number.

“Jacksonville looked so good on the offensive side, but we couldn’t tell if it was them or Pittsburgh was that bad. And then Leonard Fournette (injured) his ankle, and we didn’t know how much that was going to affect him next week, so we opened 8,” Salmons said. “It doesn’t take much to move these lines early, and we took a bet (on New England) at 8 and we went to 9 for teasers. If it goes to 9.5, it’s not going to be surprising.”..........

.........Asked if he believes the Jags have a shot to win outright, Salmons said, “Not really. I’ll never say never, but it’s so hard to look at this and see them winning the game. I can see them maybe keeping it close, but I don’t know about winning.”

Minnesota Vikings (-3.5, 38.5) at Philadelphia Eagles, 6:40 p.m. ET, FOX

While Philadelphia’s 15-10 win over Atlanta on Saturday justified the opinion that the Eagles were not getting the respect they deserved by being made the underdogs, the NFC’s No. 1 seed is back in the same role this week.

After the Vikings beat the Saints 29-24 thanks to one of the craziest finishes to an NFL playoff game anyone can remember, they were installed as favorites of -3 (-120) for Sunday’s conference championship game at Lincoln Financial Field. Bettors were eager to lay that price.

“We saw the market move up to 3.5, and we’re not going to fight it,” said Salmons, whose book adjusted to Minnesota -3.5 (even). “ It’s the same mentality (we used when making Atlanta -2.5 at Philly). People are going to want to bet the Vikings. The Eagles can get the dog masks ready again, because they’re not gonna get respect from this end of it.”...........

...........Salmons, an Eagles fan, stresses Foles has a tougher task in front of him than the one he faced Saturday.

The Atlanta game “set up nicely for him,” Salmons said. “Minnesota looked like they got beat up on the defensive side (Sunday), but going against Brees and going against Foles ... I don’t think Foles has anything like that in him.”

Were Simbal on our side of the counter, he would be enticed by the home dog.

“Everybody’s going to count out the Eagles again, but why can’t they do it?,” Simbal said. “You get Case Keenum in the elements, the crowd’s going to be crazy. I would take the points.”

The total, meanwhile, opened 40 at the Westgate, dropping to 38.5 in short order.............
