The Patriots Damage More Severe Than Initially Thought

97% of the money line bets were placed on New England at William Hill, according to David Payne Purdum. Not exactly the easiest bet to place considering you would have had to wager $70 and up just to win $10.

Payne Purdum also noted:

At Caesars Palace sportsbooks in Nevada, for every one bet on the underdog Jets, there were 10 on the Patriots. Head of risk Jeff Davis said the money wagered on the game was even more lopsided on New England.

"We had a guy bet $50,000 flat on Patriots -9 early in the week," said John Murray, director of race and sports at the SuperBook. "People were piling on five figures on the Patriots all week, no matter what we moved the number to."

The Broncos, Seahawks and especially the Vikings helped the books recover a bit before Houston rolled over the Titans Monday night.
