I think NE will win but you really think they will cover the spread?

NY did end up winning, but a FG is 3 points. If SF had won (except on a safety), by definition they'd have covered.

Originally posted by sh76Hypothetical scenario. Jets are playing the Steelers, Jets are +5.5 on the spread. The game is 17-14 in the Steelers favor but in the last kick of the game Jets get a field goal to force overtime. Steelers score a TD in overtime and win 23-17. On what planet did the Jets not cover the spread? They miss the field goal attempt, they cover the spread, they make it and don't?
