Here they are, worth just what you paid for them. Living evidence of why I'm an academic, not an oddsmaker. [Spreads courtesy of USA Today]

SD at NE: the oddsmakers have picked NE by 14. I would take SD plus the 14 points.

NYG at GB: the oddsmakers have picked GB by 7. I would take GB minus the 7 points.

Update at 6pm EST: 1 for 1. Patriots win by 9, so if I had taken SD plus the 14 points, I'd have won that bet (thanks to 3 interceptions thrown by Tom Brady).

Update at 10:05pm EST: Overtime, so my bet would lose. 1 for 2. Just the type of random result one would expect in efficient markets (see comment #1).
