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.

i forgot to mention that i got my ass handed to me this week on my pro bets. way too many upsets and blowouts that were absolutely awful for me. i couldnt even get close on a teaser card.

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.

anyone have good picks for this weekend?

i like arizona +3 at buffalo, indy -1 at kc. i also dont think that philly can cover 8 against the ravens. especially with westbrook either hobbled or out.

im gonna jump on green bay at -1...taylor, the monster strong safety for the skins, is out

also gonna tease the lions to +9 with the chargers to even
