i think that the eagles daddy is the nfc championship game.

i love the eagles this year, but i wouldnt exactly be bragging about a squeaker ot win in cleveland. i do think they are the best team in the nfc though, and im not sure that it is even close.

Default last figure

interesting notes....

going into week 7, these are the numbers against the spread

Favorites -- 37-48-3
Home Teams -- 36-49-3
Home Underdogs -- 11-12-1
Underdogs winning outright -- 36 for 48 (75%)

this week, favorites were 5-8-1 vs the spread
home teams were 9-4-1 against the spread
home underdogs went 4-0 against the spread, with only cleveland losing the game, in ot to philly

so, home dogs are now 15-11-1 this year,not too shabby at all

Well, I don't mean to brag about an overtime win against Cleveland, but a win is a win. In my opinion, the "roughing the passer" call against Brian Dawkins was trash. [4th and 6, Garcia makes bad pass, Dawkins jumps to block... incidental contact upon coming down to the ground.]

If anyone else saw that call, it was ridiculous. Sent into OT, I think Andy Reid made two bad calls: TWICE 3rd and 1, and he called for a very low-percentage play. Luckily, Akers was able to get off the 50 yarder.

Ok enough.

I didnt see the game, but I've seen way too many teams try to get cute on 3rd and 1 or 2 this year. Running a reverse, or throwing a deep ball, which doesn't work and just lead to punts. Nothing pisses me off more than this, especially if it affects my wagers.

i agree about the call against dawkins. i cant stand the protection that qbs get in the nfl. they are playing tackle football, not two hand touch or flag. i really dont that that qbs, or receivers going over the middle for that matter, should get any preferential treatment.

As someone mentioned, there's so much parity in the NFL it's almost impossible. And then there is the point spread too. Last week I lost the Phily game when the eagles gave up a nothing touchdown but I managed to win the 2 night games (Chicago and NYJ)

I made alot on hockey over the years so I miss that.
I have an NBA parley every night (3 games which give 7-1 odds)
I won on opening night but lost yesterday.

For tonight, I think Minnesota +2 At Denver is really a good pick.
I dont know anything about the new team Charlotte, they're a 4 point dog at home against the Wizards.

I like that T-Wolves game, Garnett is a freak, 28 points and 20 rebounds on opening night, what is wrong with him?

Charlotte has a chance to be the worst team of all time IMO. Okafur is okay, but I don't know if he has the jumper or inside game to be a dominant power forward or center in this league. He was a man among boys in the NCAA, but he won't be able to dominate any more and I don't see him as any more than at best a 10 point, 10 rebound guy, which is alright, but you'd expect so much more out of your first ever draft choice.

They got tough luck. It was a weak draft this year. Too bad they didn't come into the league last year, that class was incredible.

I like that angle alot, in addition, something to look at when you have two teams in that spot or at least close, the over hits alot simply because the players are too tired/lazy to play defense.
