    NFL: Championship Games

    in NFL Predictions

    Posted

    He missed some practices this week with a foot injury. Sure he is listed as probable and they say he is fine but this is the NFL what else are they going to say. I dont buy it myself completely and dont want to invest too much in the injury report being 100% honest and transparent. I dont believe the carries will be split normally and the horror of jacobs getting double digit carries could be realised. I guess we find out later :)

    Re: NFL: Championship Games

    they are going to have to run the ball here to win
    feel i should add this statement is based on a weather forecast for the game that is a lot of rain and basically horrific conditions in San Francisco for offense

    Re: NFL: Championship Games Baltimore to beat New England @ 11/4 Boylesports Well the main stat I have here is regular season play against playoff teams the ravens went 5-0 and the Patriots went 1-2 with a win only against Denver. This Ravens D is for real and will help keep New England in check and as long as Ray Rice turns up this week and there will be no excuses against this awful Patriots rush defense unlike a superb defense that they played against Houston last week. They have to limit the mistakes on offense and not turn the ball over but the odds are far too big that this Ravens team will repeat their playoff performance of last year when the went into New England and won. If New England get up early and force the ravens to rely on Flacco this could get ugly but its the value play imo and worth a chance this leads me onto my fave pick of the week which I hope I am wrong about as NYG @ 66/1 is my only live outright bet San Francisco (-2.5) to beat New York Giants @ 19/20 vcbet Under 43.5 Total points @ 8/11 coral The Giants are the hot team in the NFL and the new sexy pick for the superbowl, while I dont believe for a second that Coughlin will allow his players to believe the hype they are going to have to run the ball here to win and the injury to Ahmad Bradshaw is a massive concern as they will be forced to rely on Brandon Jacobs "the emile heskey of running backs". Jacobs has made a career out of running sideways for little to no gain and will see little success against this defense. Alex Smith needs only repeat his heroics of last week which will be tough against this pass rush but I imagine Frank Gore will be able to do enough to keep the pass rush honest. If the Giants keep the game close I am never prepared to write off Eli Manning in the fourth quarter but I am struggling to see how anything other than a repeat of the 49ers victory over the Giants earlier this season is repeated here :( Good luck to all and enjoy, should be a couple of cracking games!

    Re: NFL: Championship Games I have to say that initial line of 9 looked awful high to me, around a touchdown feels right to me. No doubt the hot teams are Pats and Giants but the fact that the Giamts are the dog here means thats the team most will want to be on, which in turn worries me, it looks almost too tempting

    Re: NFL: Divisional Playoffs

    Ok. I should have taken the +9 yesterday that i saw but you live you learn..... New york giants (+8.5) to beat green bay 5/6 bluesq ;) New york giants to beat green bay 29/10 bet365 ;) If there is one team in the nfl that is built perfectly to dispose the world of these pesky packers it is the new york giants. Arguably they are the best pass rushing unit in the league with the likes of umeniora (spelling?), tuck and jpp. To be able to cover all the weapons that the packers have you must have an elite pass rush and be able to drop seven into coverage. New york can achieve this both giving rodgers less time to pick out the pass and sufficient numbers to cover the likes of the returning jennings and jordy nelson etc. The pass rushers must also maintain their "contain" and keep rodgers in the pocket as if he is able to roll away from the pass rush to buy time he can pick the pass or take off for a first down. The inconsistent jermichael finley is likely to be the x factor. If rodgers gets him involved early and often new york will have a problem as he is the likliest mismatch in the secondary as a linebacker will not be able to cover him. Eli manning has quietly put together a superb season and is one of at most four quarterbacks in the league that will be able to keep up with Rodgers as no matter how well you defend him the pack will put some points on the board. New york also have a better running game that has improved in leaps and bounds over the last few weeks of the season and can eat the clock should they get a lead. I believed that the giants would win at home to the packers in the regular season and they fell just short. Things are not likely to be any easier in the road on the playoffs but the giants will have learnt lessons from that game just as in 2007 when they lost late on the year by a narrow margin to the pats before defeating them in the superbowl. New york is a team that is playing their best football and is game tested by one of the leagues toughest schedules this year. New england and green bay are built in very similar fashions and the giants beat the pats. The giants are a team with nothing to lose here.............dont say you werent warned ;)

    Have been toing and froing all day but screw it no matter how much this feels like a trap game lets do it! New orleans -3 to beat san francisco 5/6 vcbet This is a battle of offense and defense, but not how you think!. Its a battle of the 49ers offense against the saints defense.............in the redzone, where the niners are third worst in the league on offense and new orleans are top three worst on defense. Whoever is most effective in this game in the redzone wins. When it comes down to it the saints will score points against anybody, the niners have not played a schedule of elite offensive teams and that is reflected in what is a good but not elite defensive unit bar willis and the rookie aldon smith. It comes down to drew brees v alex smith to me and where i want to put my money.......there is a reason akers has had such a historically good season, field goals wont be enough here and the weather will be a non factor too. San fran off a soft schedule with a quarterback in his first playoff game against brees and a fabulous offensive unit. Trap game or not count me in!

    Well there is some new orleans -3 out there and thats a strong lean for me. Also a big fan of the new york giants on the spread here but will leave that as packers sure to be backed. Also will probably go money line play Giants too. Will see what develops and put the picks up in the week

    Re: NFL: Wildcard Weekend well, I cant be touching the Steelers on a line that big and 1/4 is a little short for a money line punt and the other game is almost a coin flip depending which Giants team turn up and as I have punted NYG for the superbowl outright I think today is a no bet for me. Good Luck to all who play today

    Re: NFL: Wildcard Weekend I have to be on the Saints -10.5 against the Lions. Detroit would have missed out to the Bears and wouldnt even be here if Cutler and Forte had not got hurt, the last 5 games of the season Detroit played like a team doing anything they could to avoid winning and they lack the discipline as a team. The Lions have not made the playoffs since I think 1999 and the only player on the squad then is the kicker Hanson, in the playoffs you have to take a team that is tried and tested with the intensity of playoff football. Stafford will also be making his debut in the playoffs and the numbers for QBs starting their first playoff games are not good, while I do not have the exact number I believe something like 70% end in defeat, though granted Flacco and Sanchez have helped buck this trend in recent years. Detroit cannot run the ball and henceforth are totally one dimensional and they lack any form of secondary, this game will be much like last years Green Bay v Atlanta game, the Saints will spread the field going 4 and 5 wide and there is no chance at all Detroit can cover them all. Finally the Saints this year are 8-0 in the dome and have averaged over 40 ppg while conceding less than 20, and they beat Detroit just 5 weeks ago by 14 in this stadium. Looks like max bet stuff to me. New Orleans would be rightful favourites for the Superbowl if it wasnt for those damn packers Good Luck all

    Re: England > Barclays Premier League > 2-4 January

    No he is a poor referee first of all Secondly: his decisions ar mainly on Man Utd side and this is well known fact in England He has an issue with Liverpool player which posted him in Man Utd Shirt after incorect penalty decision in FA Cup game Man Utd - Liverpool Just look or google which club he is most commonly associated with http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/competitions/premier-league/8490553/Howard-Webbs-track-record-when-refereeing-Manchester-United-and-Chelsea.html http://www.facebook.com/pages/Howard-Webb-is-Manchester-Uniteds-best-player/103936619639535
    if this is "well known fact in england" i must ask how you know this as the based purely on your use of the english language you are not in England my friend :ok
