ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) — Sportsbooks say Sunday’s showdown between Tom Brady and Bill Belichick is shaping up to be the most heavily bet on NFL game of the regular season. Brady, the six-time Super Bowl champion, returns to Gillette Stadium for the first time as a member of the visiting team. He leads his defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the New England Patriots. And people are falling all over themselves to bet on it. About 95% of bets are on Tampa Bay to cover the 7-point spread.
