PRO FOOTBALL BETS — December 11

NEW ENGLAND at WASHINGTON

(Football Bet Line: Patriots -8, Total 47.5) — We don’t know why the Pats went to sleep in the fourth quarter against Indianapolis last week, allowing 21 points to the dreadful Colts. Rex Grossman throws it all over the place against the Jets last week (46 attempts), but didn’t have much to show for it (221 yards). Of course, the Patriots are more permissive than that, allowing eight yards a pass, 44% on third down and 412 yards a game. And maybe Roy Helu (208 yards the last two weeks) can get something going against the soft New England front (4.2 ypc allowed).

Tom Brady is back on one of those rolls where he is not giving the ball away (10 TD’s, no INT’s the last four weeks) and consequently, this has brought four straight QB ratings of 109 or better and four straight Pats wins. You could have made it four straight covers if they hadn’t taken the fourth quarter off last week. In terms of the giveaway category, count on the Redskins to be more charitable (Grossman’s thrown 15 INT’s) and that might spell the difference. The Redskins have won only a come-from-behind effort against Seattle in their last eight games.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL BETS — December 3

BYU at HAWAII

(Football Bet Line: BYU -8, Total 54.5) — There’s been a bit of a nosedive for Hawaii, and I guess that’s understandable, as Bryant Moniz’s injury is demonstrating that you can’t plug just anybody into the Warriors’ lineup and expect them to operate the system with smashing results. Three consecutive losses were followed by a non-cover against a vacationing Tulane team that has a lame duck staff, and David Graves, the sophomore who made the start in place of Moniz, threw a pair of interceptions. Receivers are thin at Hawaii as well, and BYU, which has a campus in Hawaii, isn’t coming in for a vacation.

The Cougars have been moving along relatively well, even as Jake Heaps has had to step back in at quarterback. He’s gone 36 of 56 in the last two, with six TD’s. Now comes word that Riley Nelson, who looked like he was out for a while with broken ribs, might play here. It’s all a game-time decision, and may be a bit confusing for BYU, especially if Nelson can’t get through the whole thing. For Hawaii, it’s their bowl eligibility that’s at stake, and they’re not often getting points like this on their home field against a team that isn’t in the Top 25.
