Oddsmakers have pulled the AFC title game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and the New England Patriots off of the board.
The Action Network reported the following:
On Friday morning, oddsmakers at market-setting sportsbook Bookmaker.eu became concerned enough to take the game off the board entirely, meaning they’re not currently accepting wagers on this matchup until there’s more clarity regarding the severity of Brady’s injury.
ESPN’s Darren Rovell seemed to backup the idea the game got pulled off of the board because of Brady’s injury, and he tweeted, “Tough call to pull Pats-Jags off the board. Not enough known about Brady’s hand. Dilemma for bookmakers is odds are we won’t find out any more until game time. And maybe not even then.”

You know it’s playoff football when the stakes are already high and then get jacked through the roof. The Patriots were playing out of their minds as of late, and now we don’t even know what kind of condition Brady’s hand is in for the AFC title game.
Everybody was going to watch the games this weekend anyways, but now you know everybody is for sure going to tune in. Nobody is going to miss the storyline that is building in the AFC. Can an injured Tom Brady lead the Patriots to another Super Bowl or will he even play at all? We’ll all find out Sunday.
