I just hope the Seattle/GB game goes to overtime...

"We want the ball, we're gonna score!" lol

Spreads so far.

Green Bay 7.5 - 9
Pats 13 - 13.5
Indy 7.5 - 8
Dallas 8.5 - 10

According to the sports books. The Chargers have the closest chance at an upset.

Finally! He practiced again today and it's looking like #88 will be suiting up for the Colts on Sunday! He will be used as the #2 option though as Wayne has taken over as top reciever.

If you were to sign up for Packers season tickets today, they figure it would take over 3,000 years. LOL

That is just crazy!

^^Good for the franchise though. On the flip side I could get Chiefs season tickets basically anywhere I wanted right now.

Weather is supposed to be good for all games this week.

I just noticed that things have changed a little...

Green Bay ~7.5
New England ~13
Indy ~9
Dallas ~7

I still can't believe some sites are paying out 5/1 odds on SD winning against IND. Is it really that unimaginable?

4X4 · 01-11-2008, 10:08 AM

I call 2 picks for Peyton this weekend...

Must be a lot of action on the Colts. Looks like Giants fans are laying money on their favorite team as well. Maybe La Cosa Nostra knows something we don't.

I think that without Gates and at Indy that it would easily be the second biggest upset of the weekend if it were to happen. If Gates were playing and the game was in poor weather perhaps I would give the Bolts a better chance.

When they beat the Colts earlier in the year they had two return TD's, 6 Manning picks, an easy FG kicked missed by Vinatieri and they still only won by what 2 points?

Now in Indy, without one of their top offensive threats and with Harrison coming back I don't see how they will keep it close let alone win. From a betting standpoint this game looks like the best bet, only because that NE line could be hurt by Jacksonville's ability to run the ball and not allow NE the number of possessions needed to outscore them by 2 TDs.

I've heard alot of rumblings from people that think Jax could knock off the Pats and the Giants may take down the Cowboys. I figured this talk may be taking place with odds-makers as well, so I decided to throw down a little $$$ on the games this weekend(which I think are pretty straightforward. I think some people are thinking too much about these games when they pick the underdogs).

Not a big gambler, just put $5 down on Indy, NE, Dal, GB. If they all pull it off, I'll take home a whopping $14.55. Haha I shouldve looked at the odds closer before I bet, its not even worth it. At the very least I wouldve bet $20 to at least get $70. If it all works out, Ill be embarassed cashing in that bad boy on Monday.

4X4 · 01-12-2008, 03:29 PM

GAME ON!!!!!!!!!

Finally. Football time. Seattle is/was my team for awhile. Too bad that I really want Favre to win. Even worse that I want NE to take the big prize. If they don't, I really hope GB does.

SportsJunky · 01-12-2008, 03:50 PM

Seattle is bringing it. 14-0 already.

HOOT · 01-12-2008, 03:50 PM

How did Seattle score the first TD? I just walked in the door....

edit: 14-0 SEA now....wow!

4X4 · 01-12-2008, 03:59 PM

Oh yeah TD GB

It was harsh. GB fumbled the kickoff return. SEA kicked their conversion at 14:40.

Oh brutal!

GB sure making a push to come back in this game, 14-14 SEA just fumbled and GB has all the momentum

4X4 · 01-12-2008, 04:43 PM

21-14 GB with 13 minutes remaining in the 2nd. At this rate the final is going to be 50 something to 40 something.

BTW I'm on crack. Don't know why I forgot that the initial kickoff was not the fumble it was an injury for SEA. They fumbled on the next play. Either way, it was mere seconds into the game.
