    NFL Divisional Playoff Picks

    Re: NFL Divisional Playoff Picks

    Raven's probably should've won it from 21-7 up' date=' but Flacco wasn't up to it and Big Ben was. It's as simple as that really. For the game went 2-2, with both running backs coming nowhere near their yardage. Big Ben nearly covered 240 whilst Flacco came nowhere near.[/quote'] Couldn't disagree more. I can honestly say that I wasn't even worried when we were down 21-7. Ive talked to at least 5 people who made the Steelers 2H bet the biggest bet of there year. The Ravens never had a prayer of winning that game. The Steelers were shooting themselves in the foot the entire 1H. Just look at there yards even in the 1H. The Steelers gave up nearly 100 yards in penalties in the 1H. For me, this game was never in doubt unless the Ravens came out with a totally different game plan in the 2H, clearly they did not. Easy to say in hindsight but the Ravens offensive and defensive gameplan were pathetic from the jump and you can see that in the 1Q

    Steelers 2H bet was free money...I can only imagine the books got crushed on that. As soon as I made that bet it jumped to -6. One of my friend texted me that he won 4,500 dollars on that game. the In-game bet was a toss up to me but I had to do it... The win though, as a fan...just doesnt get much better...will be a tough one with the Pats...

    Re: NFL Divisional Playoff Picks Good point on Randle El Crouch. Can see us running a trick play and have him throwing the ball at least once in this game. Also here is just a ridiculous stat. Big Ben and Mike Wallace have connected for 8 40+ yard TD's (which is a record). This was Wallace's first full season as a starter! If I really think about it, maybe im just being a homer. But a front 7 that includes Harrison, Woodley, Timmons, Hampton, Hood and Farrior ( I thought he was done last year tbh, great comeback year) just seems almost unfair to me. Those guys can all make huge plays. We shall see. Good luck to Steeler backers, good health to Ravens game. There is no way I will bet this game though. Just throwing some stats around

    Re: NFL Divisional Playoff Picks Defense - Even. Both secondaries are weak. But with Polamalu and Reed they suddenly become good. The front 7 are as even as they get. Both running games will be taken away. QB - Steelers. Ben has never lost to the Ravens as long as Flacco is QB and Harbaugh is coach. Ben is 8-2 I believe overall. The Ravens dont have the better passing game. If anything there even. When you look at the numbers anyway. But if you ask me do I want Ben or Flacco leading me? I'll take Ben everyday. I guess thats just a matter of opinion...but Ben certainly has the proven track record of being clutch. While Flacco has the proven track record of being unclutch RB - Ravens. I don't think Ray Rice is anything special. But Mendenhall is about as average as they get. He has the potential to break it open but your surprised when he does. WR - Steelers. The Steelers have a huge lead in this category IMO. Mike Wallace has wayyyyy better numbers then Boldin does. Hines Ward and Mason do essentially the same things. Same thing with Miller and Heap if you want to just throw them in the same category as WR. TJ is a solid #3 for the Ravens but Sanders has similar numbers and Randle El does as well. We are just deeper then them and our #1 is better I forget what ESPN guy said it, but Mike Wallace essentially is what makes this team. I honestly think he might be one of the fastest guys in the league My Opinion - Obviously I will say the Steelers are gonna win this game. But it will be close so I'm just gonna lay off altogether and I would just rather cheer for team instead of hoping they score a TD for the cover or some shit. I wouldn't feel that comfortable with 3.5 either. Not like someone winning this one by a TD wouldn't be considered a close game.

    NFL 2010-2011 Overall 40W-27L-1P +8.55 units (59.70%) Packers ML +115 to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes Watched round one of this matchup (actually had the Falcons) and the Packers should have won this game. Believe they had a couple crucial turnovers, with the biggest one being a fumble at the 1 by Rodgers. Rodgers came out sharp out against the Eagles. Starks had a great game and hopefully that carries over. Falcons been in basically cruise control the last few weeks, I think the Packers have an edge with being in playoff mode the last few weeks. Didn't look that great against the Saints especially and really turned me off in that game. Hopefully McCarthy doesnt **** it up.

    Re: NCAAF: Bowl Games College Football 2010-2011 Overall 44W-34L-2P +5.80 units (56.41%) Oregon -2.5 (+138) to bet 1 unit @ 5dimes Hopefully I'm not getting too greedy here with the -2.5 but I think Oregon wins this game and wins it easily. They have a much better defense. If Cam Newton has a bad game this whole Auburn teams comes crashing down IMO.

    Re: NFL Wildcard Weekend Picks Greenbay winning is great on a lot of levels. The first is there a chance that Seattle could host the NFC Championship game if they win and Greenbay wins (all possible) The second is...the level of bitching that will come out of Philadelphia starting tonight and going into tomorrow will be fantastic. I already see people on twitter saying Reid should be fired LOL. Can't wait to see what Eagles fans will be saying on the radio oh yeah the third..I won money :)

    Re: NFL Wildcard Weekend Picks

    Weren't you going to take them on a cap or something in this match Alex, but pulled out? Seahwaks been better than I expected here and the Saints been under par, good football game I'm just happy enough for Brees' yards to have come in for me
    yeah I considered them but just couldnt pull the trigger..if Greenbay beats the Eagles (for my moneys sakes I hope they do). That means the Seahawks would play the Bears next round. Seattle beat the Bears @ Chicago earlier this year...
