yup, the spread mattered in only 17%of all the games last season. and the spread mattered in 16% of the games in 2005. So pick whoever you think will win the game, to cover the spread as well and you should prevail.

And that's with the games where the spread was 7.5 or more added in. It's darn near only 10% of the time when the spread is 7 or less :thumbs:

Does anyone else love Tampa Bay getting 6 points vs. Seattle? Seattle is getting old(Hasselback is 32) and they also just lost Marcus Tubbs for the season. Without Tubbs, Seattle's D was terrible against the run. I think Garcia is a lot better of a QB than Gradkowski was. Also, According to sportsinsights 85% of the public is on Seattle.

I haven't actually looked into the game, but at first glance I find that line to be very suspicious as well. Not sure why Seattle isn't more than a TD fave in the first place, plus the line hasn't moved despite a ton of public action on Seattle. You might be right on with your thinking on that one that the Bucs are a good play.

U-dog - I wouldn't mind trying to make it to a game this year, but it's a 6 hour drive for me....so unfortunately it's gotta be planned in advance.

How often do you go to games?

Thank to the well-wishers :thumbs:


I haven't looked in depth at the Seahawks game, but am shocked to see the line move down. I don't know if I want to go against the Hawks at home & back Tampa Bay quite yet. There are some questions I need answered first...


Stif- I go to 3 or 4 a year, & always the Fins game.... I almost got season tickets this year, but I also enjoy being able to check out the later games from the comfort of my home (ie. look at the halftime lines, watch line movement, not watch the Pats shellac us LoL). Already have my ticket to the Dolphins game, probably going to the Dallas game, & I have a ticket @ Jax week 12 if I want it.


Added the Colts into a parlay. More on the rest after the game. I can see why you would play the Saints, but I just don't think it's the right side. I just don't see Manning & the Colts being content with 1 SB. I am putting faith in Addai to get the tough yards, & the Indy D to make a couple stops for christ's sake! Grabbing something to eat & then it's Football time :beerbang:

Thanks Vaz, Rah, HD, Q & the gang, nice start to the season though it got a bit hairy at the end. Now we can focus on Sunday...


Falcons @ Vikings- I'm pretty certain i'll be backing the Falcons. Tavaris Jackson? I just don't think he'll be able to generate enough in the passing game to keep Atl's D honest. IMO the Falcons load up against the run & force him to make plays. Peterson will be good in the future IMO, but are he & Moore enough to beat the Falcons? On the other side of the ball you have a team who is Petrino led, & should be able to find ways to score on Minny. Let's not forget about their rushing attack. I think Dunn/Norwood could be effective Sunday. The one drawback is I'll have to back Harrington, & what's even worse, on the road! I dunno, I still think he has the edge in QB comparison. Basically I think the Falcons have the edge on Offense, defense & coaching, plus they are dogs. Currently +142, trying to get a bit more before I play it.....

:thumbs: IMO this is a very winable game for the falcons....one of the few they might get on the road this year...
