The Denver Broncos are record setters in Vegas!
Respectable kudos to Peyton Manning and co. but a kick in the nuts to the clowns known as the Jacksonville Jaguars, you know, Tebow’s next team, the 
one that gave away free beer to fans so they could slosh away their sorrow a few weeks ago.
So the Broncos are a 28-point favorite to stomp the Jags this weekend and that spread is the biggest in NFL history. We’re referring to official spreads not the moronic bets between wasted old guys in NFL jerseys falling off stools in drunken stupors at Hooters.
But don’t run out and load up on the Broncos just yet because history sides with underdogs and suggests to take the spread.
Here’s one for those who love taking the heavy favorite:
STEELERS BY 27 OVER BUCS in 1976
This occurred back in the day when Tampa’s head coach John McKay was asked if he believed in his team’s execution and he replied, “I’m all for it….” The Steelers actually covered this one with a ton of room to spare; winning 42-0 with all the points scored in the first half. They must’ve taken a knee the entire 2nd half.
Now for the sucker bets:
49ERS BY 24 OVER BENGALS in 1993
The Bengals went on the road to the bay and held the high-powered 49ers to 21 points to cover the spread in a 21-8 loss.
PATRIOTS BY 24 OVER EAGLES in 2007
The Pats may have let being the heavy favorite get to them because not only did they not cover this spread, they came minutes from being upset at home. Pats won 31-28 with a late 4th quarter TD.
49ERS BY 23½ OVER FALCONS in 1987
San Francisco won, 25-17 so another high spread sent the bettors who took the points, home with some extra bone.
COWBOYS BY 23 OVER BUCS in 1977
Dallas was on the way to a blowout win at home with a 17-0 1st quarter lead but petered out for a 23-7 win.
Moral of this story, don’t bet….unless its with an old fat dude, ogling over tits and falling off his bar stool.
