Does 17 points sounds preposterous?

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

Talk about being underdogs or unnoticed!

[PiLfan]

No.

Actually, given how both teams played yesterday...Pats putting up 49 without breaking a sweat, and the skins squeaking out a lucky win by the hairs of their chiny, chin chin against a one-armed quarterback...i'm surprised it's not higher.

[AKM311]

I think this game will be a much tougher game for the Pats than people think.

Do I think we will win? No, but your gonna see a physical, disciplined team out there on Sunday.

Wasn't USC 31 point favorites over Stanford a few weeks ago? Stanford ended up turning their woes around by beating them. 17 sounds about right, actually. It's going to be our offensive line health that determines the final spread.

Yea were gonna have to keep the Pats from scoring a high amount of points like they have in all there games this year. Its gonna be tough putting up 40 points against the Pats going touchdown for touchdown with them.

[ttr77]

Sounds about right to me. And I hate to say it, but I'd bet on the Pats with this line...

[Skinsfan4045]

Also the way were playing and the way there playing 17 points sounds about right.

[crank]

I think it is a slap in the face for the Skins but can not argue with it the way the Pats have played this year.

[RBClintonPortis]

I hope the Skins take it as a slap and it motivates them and the Pats look by us.

I think it is a dis to our 3rd in the league Defense, just behind New Englands,
and that if I was betting I would bet the Skins vs. the line not necessarily to win.

Unfortunately it isn't a great week to get Offensively healthy against this Patriots defense.

[WhoRUSupposed2Be]

I'll will agree that our offense is unpredictable even with JC at the center, but 17 points even for 3rd ranked D!

Does anyone get the feeling that we're playing with nothing in the world to lose?

[4thandGoal]

17 is never a good number in the NFL..I'd take my chances on that one. The leagues too tough.

[jgwyn500]

2007 points per game average...

Pats 39.9

Skins 20.3

I can see where they got 17

Nope they were actually a 41 pt fav, believe it or not.

[China]

Haven't the Patriots beaten every team they've faced this year by at least 17 points?

17 is not unreasonable when you look at it in that light.

[DCranon21]

Well all that means is, we will just have to shock the NFL world and beat them in Foxboro. Lines don't mean nothing, unless your betting on it. And if I was a betting man, I'd take the 16.5 and the Skins.
