What UB didn't share, was that I bet money line on the Patriots to win that game, which was the biggest single bet of my life (until recently max-betting against triple crown winners annually.) Knowing the swing in store, UB (who was in Vegas) and I agreed to watch the game in separate locations. The money line in that game was such an incredible bet for the Patriots, because it was equivalent to the spread being around 8.5 points, compared to the 13 or so it actually was. A rare moment where the point spread and money line were nowhere near each other and I took advantage. Then I (and Vegas) took a massive beat on that catch.
