Saturday's Play NEW YORK CREW
25 DIME RELEASE
Rutgers
SUNDAY'S PICK COSTA RICA CONNECTION
25 DIME RELEASE
New England
I got this play at 2:00 Eastern on Friday afternoon. At that time the line was -4 just about everywhere in Vegas and offshore. If you have -4 - or even -4 1/2 - I want you to buy down the 1/2 point for insurance no matter the case.
Backstory regarding this game:
In the three years I've been bringing you plays from the various betting crews I've relied on, this is the earliest I've ever had a Sunday NFL selection. When I got the call - and when I found out what the game was - I was not surprised.
In case you were not aware, the New England-Miami game was taken off the board briefly very late Thursday afternoon when a report - that later proved to be false - surfaced that Tom Brady did not practice. Prior to the report, New England was -5 1/2 with a few -5's to be found if you looked hard enough. After the error was clarified, the game was put back on the board but the price settled at -4.
