Good morning, everyone, the Simple Handicap for Thursday, November 18th.

Thank you for making me a part of your morning, getting you on your way today with

a market rundown NFL Week 11, a quick traditional episode of the Simple Handicap.

Things get rolling tonight.

New England Patriots on the road at the Atlanta Falcons.

Only one seven is left on the border.

That's at Circus Sports in Las Vegas, minus seven, even money.

Otherwise, everyone else down to six and a half shaded back towards the seven.

Total 47 shaded back towards 46.

This one's really simple.

Releases from groups and influential betters on New England at six and six and a half.

And then a bunch of value bets coming back the other way in Atlanta at seven.

That's case and point of the game. There was the adjustment up initially from the look ahead to the reopen.

Then it was New England money. Now it's Atlanta money back the other way. The only thing we're really going to see impact this game is the announcement

of Cordell Patterson and his status a little bit later this morning. Once that comes in,

Los Alano kind of settled. There'll be a wave of New England money throughout today coming for people

who haven't bet yet. And books are going to be left looking at a pretty substantial liability on the Patriots.

And there's going to be a lot of pro-betters with Atlanta plus seven in their pocket.

That's how it is.

I don't think I'm touching this game one way or another,

but that's really a simple market to sort of look at at this point in the week.
