WHOA.....! WAIT A MINUTE!! (As in that movie My Cousin Vinnie)
I guess this SB wasn't as easy as I first thought. I mean, yes it's a very easy SB to predict, but it took a bit more thinking than the 1 minute I originally put into it (Literally I put about 1 minute of capping/thought into this year's SB and made my Rams ATS pick) but now the MORE I think about this one (And watch the numerology connections like BB being 66 years of age, and Saban being 66 years of age connections) the more I see now exactly what this line is all about.
So Achillies and LGE were correct, NE is the going to likely win this SB. At first I was thinking, "Well too many people know about this numerology now and when that happens the script changes or they go to plan B. There can be so many scripts to match up these patterns, not just with NE winning. And I just see how many love NE on both sides.
However, this line goes a little deeper than I originally thought. First off, My NEW score prediction is something like 26 to 27 patriots win by 1
Ok going to break down my read now- (OK this is a bit complex and a lot to explain on no sleep, but I will do my best) The reason it opened at Pats +1, was a test by the books to see where the action would go. I always say, (and books think like I do) If you want more action, and fool the "dumb" public who reads into lines, set the team who is going to win, as a dog. As the dumb public perception is ALWAYS for the favorite to win. So books resorted to this old tactic to open the line and see what happens. So they make Patriots the dog, hoping for more rams action (This backs up the patriots ML pick) However times are CHANGING and the public now isnt as dumb as they once were.
Now they know dogs usually win the SB and they will easily bet Pats as a DOG, so the opening line didn't work well for them so they quickly moved it to 1.5 and 2.5 now these are VERY key numbers, because this allows them to have Patriots win the game, but STILL CLEAN UP on the super bowl, as MOST of the public will not take the Pats ML if they see only a 2.5 number they will think "Games rarely land on less than 3 pts) so they will go ATS and get burned (This theory backs up Patriots ML prediction winning by 1) Now the reason I have them winning by 1 is very simple. Because for many the line was 1.5 or 2...so they need exactly a 1 point win for Patriots in order to have the most entertaining superbowl, and at the same time, get their money in from all the Patriots ATS and Rams ML acttion. BEcause public who like Rams will also go ML on the flip side. So there you go...Rams ARENT WINNING THIS GAME!
I WITHDRAW MY FINAL SCORE PREDICTION but NOT MY PICK Because RAMS ARE COVERING THIS GAME, they will lose by exactly 1 point.
So now if this comes true, hopefully people will have more faith that sports is scripted. And I can't see it any other way.
I believe I had more to explain about the line....Oh yeah! So the reason it's PRIMARLY at 2.5 and not 1.5 is because the books dont want public going NE ML.. if Joe Pub see the spread at only 1.5 they might say "well the ML is only a tiny bit more juice and so why not play it safe" but at 2.5 it's more juice so less people will take the ML. So now I have the CORRECT READ INTO THIS LINE, and the numerology strongly backs it up.
Only way NE doesnt win is if TOO mUCH money would be lost by these corportations. (Then they will find a new script to fill) There is always a plan B)But they normally know how to prevent that by making lines.(as well as I believe they are advanced interdimensional beings) So that explains exactly this line perfectly.
