Line For Jags-Pats Set At Hypothetical Number
Jan 08, 2008 | 8:00AM | report this

 The Vegas line for the Jacksonville Jaguars-New England Patriots game is now out, and it has betters a little confused. After pushing the number to record highs against Miami and New York late in the season, the line for Saturday's game is set at -5v72i˜? in favor of the Pats. The number is yet not understood even by the odds-makers in Vegas, but they feel it is the only proper indication of the odds for a Pats victory. Math professors at Harvard and MIT are teaming up to study the number, and see if they can figure out truly how many points New England will win by.

Many internet gamblers who are looking to blow more of their life savings on football this weekend don't know what to do. "I don't get this thing man," said one such confused better. "There are some numbers in there, but there's also a picture of a table or something." That table is meant to be pi, the number used to measure a circle. It's only the second time pi has been included in a betting line. The last was in 1974 when Dallas played Cleveland and the Cowboys were favored by 4?. They were about to cover when the Browns made a meaningless field goal at the last second that was then worth ?. The pi field goal rule has since been removed.

Well I'm going to bake a pi and watch the game.

Good thing we're only betting apples.
(and I won't bet the spread)
