wow, giants underdogs against a team they punked all last year.

Why is everyone riding the Eagles jock this year? they’re 5-3 and don’t look much better than they did last year. Mcnabb is still one of the most over-rated quarterbacks in the NFL. A good QB could get it done without Westbrook.

Oh and thanks for the sista despite her forearm blemish. She could wrap those fit cheerleading legs around me anytime.

@ Needs More Cheerleaders:

Sweet Purple Jesus in heaven I hope you’re right. It’s either going to be a fantastic Sunday to be a Bears fan, or an absolutely terrible one. Either way, I’ll be hammered.

And damn that Giants +3 looks tempting. I’m abstaining for this week, though, as my current wagering record makes the Nazi shark look like a slightly more/less racist Jimmy the Greek.

What’s the spread between the Cowboys and the Dallas PD for their off week.

The word this AM was that Mike P may still suit up for the Jags. He was supposed to meet with Del Rio this AM and if all went well he would suit up. No word as of now…..

“The books don’t give a rat’s ass if a team is undefeated against the spread as long as they even out the action on both sides. They don’t take a position on the game. They make money on the 10%-15% your dumb ass (and my dumb ass) pays them to bet.”

This is absolutely true (except for the 10-15% part: it’s about 5.5% on standard juice and less if you shop around online). However, they know that streaks like the Titans’ (and the Patriots’ last year) get an undue amount of attention/action from the “squares,” and they set the lines accordingly.

@AW look at the history of teams over the last few years ATS, most teams end up 8-8 and I believe the most extreme is an 11 win team and that was the Patriots of last year. What happens is people start riding the hot team and Vegas has to adjust the spread accordingly to make their money.

Ahh, flip-cup. Good times. Just one of the events in our Beerfest Championship that we crushed the spread.

It always feels good to know that widdle Danny Snyder will always out-dumb the Double J. Maybe it’s the Napoleon complex. Maybe it’s the shirts that look like they were tailor made for a person who’s 6′5″. Or maybe, just maybe he can’t tell the difference between a piece of sweet tang and an apple pie.

Or maybe he was just getting a jump on the Saaurdee news cycle and decided that sexy Fridee was the best time to make his move. Nice.
