I'm In total shock at some of this shit i have seen on here

I'm against you on both games as of now, not officially because I haven't taken anything and need to see where some of the money is going but think about this.

Arizona is playing out of their minds right now and they are going to close the dome making it very loud, McNabb, I think is talented but he is by no means a big game QB, and that Hot weather out their in Phoenix will wear him down, just like he when he said he was fatigued in the superbowl. Also Larry Fitzgerald is absolute freak and can catch anything thrown in his vicinity.

As for Ravens, in my heart I want them to win I love FLacco but they have taken a beating in the last 2 weeks first against physical Miami team, then against extremely physical Tennessee game, they will be playing extremely hurt and up against a well rested Pitt team on the road, they should come up short.

I guess you can't tell from my Best Bets posts on here that I have given PHI all the respect they deserve, on both sides of the ball.......my respect along with my wagers sir.

I don't see McNabb "wearing down", he is finally healthy this year unlike the past. ARIZ got by easy vs. a team that showed up with absolutely no game plan whatsoever.
I believe even a "beat up" BAL D will punish the Burger......those guys know how to play hurt.

SB=BAL/PHI...........IMO.

Like I said BEFORE this past weelend's games, I like a PA Bowl - Pitt/Philly

yea i think the only reason Baltimore let tennessee march on them is cause theyve been playing beatup most of the year, honestly i don't see how as a team there not just completely exhausted. That combined with Joe Flacco not being able to play well in the playoffs makes me believe pitt will win this game. Baltimore had EVERY oppurtunity to beat pitt last time they played but pitt still managed to squeak out a win. Just seems like pitt has there number unless baltimore can build a nice lead going into the fourth.

As Far as this post, Phillys defense is good no doubt and i have them going to the superbowl. San Diego did put up pretty good numbers in the fourth quarter, cause they were throwing the ball all day. Its hard to be motivated to play defense when your just going through the motions and defending your lead. A lot more conservative playcalls and such. They did what they had to do, which was hold sproles to 15 yards on 11 carries. That forces offenses to pass, and thats when u put on the blitzes which got to rivers 4 times. Keep in mind if Karney didnt miss 2 fieldgoals, it wouldve been a 6 point win. This is really just a debate with too many angles to cover unless i wrote a essay or something, all 3 defenses are real good but i think eagles are second RIGHT NOW.

Philly will stomp the Cards. There's no way AZ will keep getting lucky with all of those turnovers, especially against a healthy and tested McNabb. If anything, Warner will be the one throwing picks against the tough Philly D.

Ok to begin i dont ever post on here but greatly respect alot of people's handicapping ability on here, but thats where my respect stops and maybe im a little biased here cause im from philly but geez no one here gives there defense any respect. Profits said it is indisputable that the ravens and steelers are 1-2 in def that couldn't be more far from the truth this year...each of the teams get 6 games against average to below offense....cleveland and cincy were horrid offenses this year and the ravens are average at best and pitt might be slightly above average, where the eagles have to play against the giansta dn cowboys who have better offenses then anyone in there division and the skins who this year had an average d.....TRUST me when i say arizona and if the eagles win weather its pitt or balt(my opinion balt will win) but there should fear our defense we have aloud 0 td's in the last 6 quarters, thats 0 to playoff teams.....the ravens defense is awesome no doubt BUT tenn who is average at best went up and down the field at will and lucky for them chris johnson was out or no doubt in my mind tenn wins that game. and for pitt i mean the 2nd half of the game the chargers offense put up good# against them, so im not syaing the eagles are better then either one BUT i dont think they are far off if not right with them in defense and arizona will find out that they are not laying against Jake delhomme we have more weapons then the panthers and a better defense better special teams i think it will be a close one but i see the final being EAGLES 27 Cards 24......afc Ravens 20 Pitt 17

If they are favorites, i try to find edges that will make betting on the dog a good bet. If they are the dogs, I try to find reasons to bet on them..

I don't care if philly is #1 or #32 in any category.. 'cept when i bet them.. why do you take a bet personally? and if people say they will not make it to the SB, no biggie.. all it means is they are betting the other team..

i have gotten some slack from philly fans here on the board when i bet against them.. and i have lost more than I won.. (lol)

I am gonna have to visit philly to check out the mentality for myself. Here, if you bet against the cowboys, they tell ya you are gonna lose and thats it.. not cus/call it shit/etc..

good luck to you bro.. and don't take it personally

Thats it! Its all about winning the $$ not the game............I love NO team in the playoffs but I want to pull for the team that I think will beat the spread.

I am a saints fan and have bet against them more than with them.....its just business when it comes to $$.

BALT lucked out with the miscues, fumbles, penalties, and just poor play in the red zone from the TENN offense... this Sunday they [BALT] won't be so lucky!!!

Exactly. How about the fact that the Ravens CAUSED those turnovers. I don't remember a cheap turnover in the bunch, Collins threw an INT because he was under pressure and all the fumbles (as I recall) were because of solid hits.

Plu$Money · 01-13-09, 11:44 AM

The Philly/Arizona game won't be close. Philly is simply a much better team then the cardinals. They have played in these games before and will beat them by double digits. The Ravens/Steelers game is gonna be close either way. I'm not sure who is gonna win because i feel that it is a pretty even match up. I think Baltimore covers the points.
