Pats-Eagles point spread largest ever not involving expansion team

By Sal Paolantonio

ESPN.com

PHILADELPHIA -- Just three seasons after being separated by just three points in Super Bowl XXXIX, the gap between the Patriots and Eagles has widened to historic proportions: Philly is a 23½-point underdog.

That is the largest point spread for an NFL game that does not involve an expansion team, according to odds-making experts in Las Vegas.

On Dec. 5, 1976, the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers were 24-point underdogs to the defending Super Bowl champion Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers covered easily, winning 42-0.

"Nowadays, you don't see too many spreads over 16 or 17 points," said Sean Van Patten, an oddsmaker at Sports Consultants in Las Vegas. "That's because most teams take their starters out in the fourth quarter of a lopsided game. The Patriots don't. I call this phenomenon The [bill] Belichick Factor."

23.5 point dogs!?! Holy sh*t.

Hoosier, I love the BOC reference in your thread title. Ever see 'em in concert back in the day? They'd play Godzilla, then during a lull in the song the stage lights went way down, then they'd spotlight the drummer. When the light hit him, he had on a big Godzilla head, which he proceeded to wear during his arena rock drum solo. We laughed our asses off even back then. Good stuff.

I to was waiting for the Godzilla reference as well. Nicely done !!!

WHODEY !!!

Nah, never did make it to a show, COB. Great band nonetheless.

Think the line might have pissed off the Iggles just a tad?

Eagles 21, Pats 17 in Fauxboro with 3 mins left in the half.

28-24 Eagles near the end of the 3rd! Wow...Feely is on fire tonight!

It made the Pats look beatable! That you gotta LOVE!!

Why the hell did Feeley throw that pass into the endzone with as much time was still on the clock and they were moving the ball with short passes and runs ?? HORRIBLE play calling and HORRIBLE pass by Feeley. All they needed was a field goal to tie and with as much time left, a TD wasn't out of the question. And WHY would they throw to Samuel's side ?? Just stupid playcalling by the Eagles... Oh well, the Bengals won !!!

WHODEY !!!
