Aw, poor New England is being disrespected: "Schadenfreude aside, the Patriots are being further disrespected by the bookies, who do not bother with an irrelevant factor such as emotion when setting their lines. Individual odds vary, of course, but at least one fellow out there shifted his line on today's Patriots-Jets game an almost unimaginable 11 points. As reported by the very reliable Mark Cannizzaro in the New York Post, Richard Gardner, the sports book manager for an offshore betting service known as an online sportsbook, switched the Pats from 9-point favorites to 2-point dogs. Yeah, woof that, Pats." [ Boston Globe]
