NFL Observations

[hart attack]

ATTENTION TO ALL TEAMS!!!!!!

When you play against the Bungles, run your QB right up the middle!! The Bungles appear to be in a fog when a QB runs right up the middle. It is simply mesmerizing! Not that they can tackle any other position player either.

Note to Jack del Rio- expand practice to include tackling drills for your Jaggoff Jaguars. 2-hand touch is to be saved for the "father-son" game at the annual team picnic. Also teach receivers to use hands to catch passes thrown right in their chests as there is no yardage or point reward for catching the ball with no hands....stop attempting!

and just wondering how that little twerp in Denver Joshie McDumbass can possibly be employed by an NFL team in any capacity beyond jock strap collector? what a clown.

I really thing there are some tricky line this week now with the rematches.

Who really played like they did in the regular season.

Right now the Bungles look liek crap, but can you expect them to do that this week?

Same with Arizona, and same with Philly.

I hate these rematches myself!

At least Arizona did not play their starters so you can expect them to look a little better.

But other than that, I am confused on who to take.


Who's everyones best value or picks to be in the super bowl??

[dragon1952]

I like Indianapolis and Minnesota. The Vikings had me a little skeptical there for awhile, but the Giants game reassured me. The Colts are just lying in wait. New Orleans can't stop anybody, but I would love to see them make it. Green Bay is my dark horse in the NFC to make it. San Diego would be my 2nd choice in the AFC.

[hart attack]

Bungles cannot stop the run, I love the jets there

Philly will definitely be different, but dallas has come on strong defensively in last month

love balt/ne over, GB/AZ over

colts chargers afc, no doubt

nfc wide open except for 'Aints who are the worst 14-0 in pro sports history and have NO shot of winning NFC

[winandwin]

afc - wide open, anyone can win, will lean with chargers.
nfx - same here wide open, still like Saints with home field advantage. New Orleans winning it all would be a good story.

Incredible how 3 of the 4 games this week turn out to be rematches from the week before........I highly doubt that's ever happened before.

I think Dragon pretty much nailed it as far as the real contenders..........but I still think the Chargers will prevail over the Colts because of the heathier and all around better defense..........The Colts couldn't stop anybody during the year, heathly or not......and besides, the Chargers have had their number over the past couple of years.

The Saints will find the going a little different in the playoffs, just like last year.........It's one thing to spend the whole season beating up on Tampa Bay, Atlanta and the Rams, Lions and Seahawks, but now they've got to face teams that carry an offense, something they've been unable to stop all year........They do have a strong home-field advantage, but they'll need more than that.

The lines for this weekends games are right where they should be -- with the exception of the Dallas/Philly game.........Sure, Dallas cleaned them out this past weekend, but believe it or not, Andy Reid is sharper that Wade Phillips.........This game should have opened at a "Pick", and you'll see a much closer game this weekend..........Dallas has played very strong at home this year, so that's undoubtedly the reason for the inflated spread........This should be the best and closest game of the weekend, in my opinion.

New England will handle Baltimore easily, even without Wes Welker because Brady has a whole slew of receivers he can throw to but he chooses Welker because he's the easiest to find..........besides, Baltimore couldn't stop ME from running the ball against them........especially on the road.

As far as Cincy goes, they just haven't been the same team since the Chris Henry tragedy, that simple........They got tossed around by the Jets front line on both sides of the ball, and I don't see the change of scenery acccounting for a 37-point switch on things..........I would love to see Cincy go on, but my money rides on the Jets.

Good Luck everybody.

My plays so far are:

Just remember, I hit about 25% this year in the NFL so its probably best to fade the hell out of me. I almost faded myself but I am not that smart.

Cinnci ML -125 over NY JETS...Just a hunch that Cinnci wins this one at home. As long as they can keep it close they will be in it. If they have to come back, then they are in trouble. Whoever wins this one gets beat next round anyway.

Arizona +1 over Green Bay...Going against the public hard core on this one. Line has moved huge and I will take the points but I don't think I need them as AZ wins SU.

Have Philly +11 in the second half of a teaser I played with Iowa the other night. But think Philly is the play at the +4 too. Dallas wins but maybe by a FG.

[dragon1952]

FWIW, I like all of those. I think all 4 home teams have a good chance to advance and Philly plays a better game.

[red raider 84]

I like Dallas. But I really have stunk it up on the pros lately. Not that it matters right now, but does anybody know the remaining teams may play giving wins and losses by these?

[woodee12]

Looking at the odds for winning the super bowl, I think the Saints at +485 are the best value.

Anyone agree?

Just value wise, not saying that they are better than some of the others, but why lay less than 4 to 1 on a pretty long shot bet.

[Boone Moone]

Forget it Woodee............Don't bite.......I wish I could sit here and tell you who's going to win the Super Bowl but I can't -- but I can all but guarantee you that it won't be the Saints..........If they were going to win it, they would be 2-1 or less and they're not............You're getting 4-1 for a reason....it's a dead play...........The winner of the Philly/Dallas game tomorrow will most likely represent the NFC in the Super Bowl this year........Both teams are healthy and peaking, and if it weren't for Minnesota possessing the home-field once New Orleans chokes, it would be a slam dunk.

I am getting a little gun-shy on my Jets pick because Cincy will be playing with a heavy heart this weekend and sometimes that can carry a team........I'll go lightly on the Jets anyway.

The team that stands to make the biggest turnaround this weekend is the Arizona Cardinals........This will be Aaron Rodger's first post season test, and the Arizona fans will not allow him to check-off at the line...........Arizona coach Whisenhunt (spelling) is no idiot, and he was looking at the Green Bay playbook last week while resting his starters, so look for future Hall-of-Famer Kurt Warner to take these boys to school.............I'm looking for a spot to play Arizona -7 or so -- and get the bigger payout.......AZ. BIG HERE !!

Good luck to all Bettorsworld Boys in the playoffs as the real games begin !!!!

[chuck]

My bets made at Cal-Neva last night:

Jets + 2 1/2
Eagles + 3 1/2
Pats over 43
Cardinals + 1

[red raider 84]

Hart Attack, very nice call on the cincy- jets game. There was never a doubt because I liked Cincy lol. I liked Dallas and not only did I not wager on them, but I didn't even make them my pow. Thats the way my luck is going right now. Took NE today so................. Anyway you had that one pegged. Very nice!!

[woodee12]

I am all over Arizona so GB is probably the play of the day.

If GB wins, Vegas will be hurting as most of the bets are on the Pack.

Huge public fade play, and plus all the other teams that won in week 17 also won yesterday. i think the Cards will buck that trend at home later today.

But remeber I am a great capper to fade in teh NFL so all you Pack backers, can rest assured your plays are OK!!

[red raider 84]

Must be because my book moved GB to -3. Man, no love for cards. I'm still up in air on this one.
