Michaels just cited the New York Jets' status as 7-point underdogs. In pre-game he remarked that if San Diego's field were a racetrack it'd still be dry enough to be called "fast."
Chad pointed out that the end of STL-SEA had major implications for that game's over/under, and that Al would have alluded to this with a wink and smile (unlike the Sunday Night Football broadcasters, who apparently don't wager much; by the way, granting that usually Paul Maguire is right anyway and Joe Theisman wrong anyway, at what point will the shtick go too far and Thesiman just pop Maguire in the jaw or shove him over the railing or something?).
