CTM Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Interesting that the packers are laying 3 at chicago. I know they've looked unstoppable, but I thought the home playoff thing would make this around a pickem. The jets line is right what I expected, for those betting the jets, I'd wait a bit, the line's looking like it could go to +3.5 as you already have to lay extra juice to get the steelers at -3.

RutgersJetFan Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah I expected this one. Both away teams are better but both fields are awfully tough to play at. I think I'm gonna stay away from both games. I cleaned up on Chicago yesterday though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTM Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Unfortunately I like the Steelers this week .. Just think emotionally we just won our SB ... Was planning on betting GB big again, but nto sure I like laying 3 on the road.. Gotta look more at the matchups.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Unfortunately I like the Steelers this week .. Just think emotionally we just won our SB Normally I'd agree but I think there's something to be said with having this entire team in the same position last season. Throw in guys like Tomlinson and Taylor who are clearly going to view this as their last chance and I think they'll be properly focused. I think yesterday was a big wakeup call for how much playoff experience runs throughout this entire roster. Also IMO I don't think Pitt looked that great last week. I can see the case for either but money-wise I'm probably going to stay away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Troy P did not look good last week, still looks hurt. What is the status of Pitt's Off tackles. They both went out last week and they are already down to backups. Although hopefully Flozell is healthy for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pitt win as just as emotional for them, particularly the way they accomplished it. This type of emotional letdown can be used in the regular season. Should not be much of a factor in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year I felt we were content to make some noise in the playoffs, just to prove our legitimacy. This year we're in it to win it, anything else will be failure for these guys.

Scott Dierking Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 pinnacle opened at -3 + 104 and have moved to -3 -125... did an actual casino open it at -4? In today's Post, they have the line "Open" and "Current". Their "Open listed it at -4. Not sure who they get their lines from. Hard to believe that it moved a whole point from end of game to press time, but it is what they published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Team of destiny. Last year it was the Saints, this year it's the Jets. The games against Detroit, Cleveland, and Houston are all part of the lore. Manning and the Colt, Brady and the Pats, and now Rapistburger the Steelers. This has to be our year.

The Jets may not win, but it won't be because they're not mentally prepared, or because they already won their Super Bowl. Jets will be ready with a quality gameplan.

RutgersJetFan Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Took the spread and the over in both NFC games. Same here. Thought Seattle peaked last week and it wound up really paying off. Now I'm trying to decide whether or not to let it ride on GB. I think Matthews and Co are gonna have a field day against that line and the Pack will win by at least 10.

I dunno bro...I dont touch division rival games, you never know how its going to pan out. Most unpredictable games of the year are played in the division. Hell, Chicago really had nothing to play for last week of the season other than keeping the Pack out and the game was 10-3. Dont think that will happen again. However, I read something about home dogs recently that makes me like the Bears. Cant quote the stat perfectly, but they've been paying out big.

Its Dom Capers against Jay Cutler. Rodgers against Lovie Smith's defense with the running game coming alive. I can't see Chicago winning this one at all.

Not sure really. home dogs is my favorite bet in all of sport... in college it's even more prononunced, particularly on espn thursday night games. Win % is insanely high.. I was reading something about this...I think home team in all Football games that were like 7 point dogs, we covering like 84% of the time or something like that. Either way it was staggering.
