Last night we learned that 11 of 12 footballs used by the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game were under-inflated. The NFL confirmed that information this afternoon saying the footballs were properly inspected 2 hours and 15 minutes before kickoff.
In short, someone on the New England Patriots is in a lot of trouble. Real big trouble. The team likely faces a hefty fine and possible loss of draft picks as a result. But there’s more. Because the Patriots are repeat offenders some in Las Vegas think Belichick could get suspended for the Super Bowl.
Bovada has the odds at 15/2. Any takers?
