Arizona is the LOCK Guarantee!!

Cougar Bait · 01-17-09, 07:19 PM

Let me be the first of many people to tell you that there is no such thing as a "LOCK". It's a made up word that gambling touts use to sell you picks. ANYTHING can happen during the course of a given game. What would happen if Fitzgerald or Warner go down with injuries in the first quarter? Or if McNabb is allowed to pass at will against the Zona D like they have been for the last 2 months against every opponent? Westbrook is hurt, but at least he's probable, whereas Boldin is questionable. And Buckhalter isn't a terrible backup if Westbrook can't go the whole game. Philly has a more balancd offense, they have a better pass rush and better pass coverage, they are superior in the special teams game, and they have a seasoned coach who has been here before. Arizona playing at home is an advantage, for sure. And the fans will be into this game...that is unless the game is anything like the last time these teams played. I believe in putting a lot of time into capping games. However, I don't beleive in locks. You may win Sunday, but I will be on Philly.

Arizona is the LOCK Guarantee!!

Thanks just keep saying the word LOCK over and over.... I have Philly at -3.5 and I need all the help I can get..

One Eyed Bobby · 01-17-09, 07:28 PM

Jefyulo - thanks for breaking this game down so thoroughly. I previously liked Philly but your clever blend of gibberish, nonsense, and grammatical errors have convinced me that Arizona is the correct play.

I especially enjoyed the following gem: "arizona has never won an NFC... this is BIG.."

I agree - that is BIG. I will also lay HUGE on Arizona. Just curious, exactly how HUGE will you be laying?

I'm also interested to hear the details about the guarantee that you've offered. Money back if not delighted - right?

alittlemoresound · 01-17-09, 07:49 PM

I believe that game went to OT and the cards barely won.. Now if you wanna talk beat downs of the cowboys i think the Eagles did it best. They destroyed them the last week which was basically a playoff game for both teams. I'm so glad the cardinals are your "lock" cause i'm on philly -3. Philly is the better team and will easily cover this low spread

jefyulo · 01-17-09, 08:08 PM

To say its a "LOCK" is just an expression... relax Cougar Bait.

Arizona, will play for every cardinals Fan out there supporting them. Warner is an excellent QB with a lot of weapons... know why the eagles eat their steak on a bowl?

Cause they choke when it comes to the plate.

Plu$Money · 01-17-09, 08:11 PM

No offense dude but your lame... I'm glad your expression is on the cardinals side cause there is no such thing as a LOCK and most of the time it is used, it is wrong.

jefyulo · 01-17-09, 08:21 PM

plus money.. you are one of the best cappers in here. i respect you. GL. if you think the eagle will win.. GL.

PaperCha$er · 01-17-09, 08:24 PM

I agree, how can you say the Cards "beatdown" the Cowboys when that game went into OT and won on a BLOCKED PUNT of all things. The Eagles dismantled the Cowboys in the final week and also obliterated the Cards on Thanksgiving. And your wrong when ypu say the Cards had nothing the play for. Their division still wasn't locked up because the Niners could of passed them. And I guess playing on national TV on Thanksgiving night to prove you're team is worthy of a playoff spot is nothing to play for? Please.

Boys.. just read.

The reason why arizona lost to Phi thanksgiving day is they don't really have to win that game. They CLINCHED their division already...

Their defense has improved a lot!! the first half of the season their defense ranked arounf 28th.. but from half of the season up to now.. they are 8th. Their defense caused the falcons and the panthers to breakdown.

Boldin, Larry, Edge, and hightower will score. Larry is a freak of nature... he will score.

arizona has never won an NFC... this is BIG.. Fans are excited and the Crowd will be a huge impact.

Philly is known to choke on big games... Games they are expected ti win. plus, rumors circulating around here in philly that the eagles org is doubtful if they will resign mcnabb. Mcnabb will choke.

WestBrook is Hurt. he is hurt and you can see in his performancer last game against the giants. he has slowed down and is not the brian westbrook 5 weeks ago. he is not even 70% healthy.

Arizona is almost unbeatable at HOME... They gave the COWBOYS a beatdown. They are very very good at home.

I am so confident on this game boys.. lay HUGE on this game. I am.......

This is so ridiculous it's a joke!!!!!!

Arizona went 6-2 at home this year which is hardly unbeatable but lets look at the schedule they had.

beat Miami week 2 31-10 (Miami was not good yet)
Beat Buffalo 41-17 week5
beat Dallas in ot week6 (Romo didn't play!!!)
beat SF 29-24 week10
lost to Giants week 12 37-29'
beat St Louis 34-10 week 14
lost 35-14 Minnesota week 15
beat Seattle 34-21 week 17

Although the record appears to be good, they only beat 1 playoff team (Miami) who was not nearly as good in week 1 as they ended up. This team is playing very well right now with a couple of impressive wins so far in the playoffs but Philly is a better team and have won alot of big playoff games over last 8 years. How can you call it choking, they usually just lost to better teams in NFC championship games in the past and they lost super bowl to a superior New England team. Philly wins this game 24-17

Andy Reid has a lamenated sheet with his plays on it. One side says SCREEN while the other side says 10 YARD CURL. The only chance Arizona has is to distract Andy with a bag of Hardees and steal the sheet of play(s).

az wins this game i bought a half poit to give 4 this is agreat bet i am in 20 units and thats is a huge bet for me

Madetowin · 01-18-09, 04:12 AM

Ok lets clear some things up here.

1. Arizona has ZERO defense.
2. Arizona has NEVER played a good defense.
3. Arizona offensive line is a joke
4. Interceptions will occur from Warner more then once.
5. Eagles have a ridiculous Defense
6. Eagles offense will be too much for Arizona to handle.
7. Arizona has about zero run game especially tomorrow they might have about 50 yards rushing tops .

But then again who knows what will happen good luck everyone .

Are you sure Romo didn't play? They actually knocked him out for a few weeks, which was the beginning of the end for Dallas. And check out what they did to Marion Barber. For the record, Buffalo at the time was riding high. They knocked out their QB for weeks too, sending that team into a downward spiral (don't say the writing wasn't on the wall). They only lost to the Giants (still with Plaxico). If the Giants still had Plaxico the Cards would be playing in NY today. And you may as well throw out the loss to Minny because it was a must win for the Vikings and there was nothing on the line for the Cardinals.

This is a very, very good home team. They did suck on the road. They were horrible on the East coast. And the huge surprise was the win last week at Carolina. That suggests this team has taken the next step! Unless you want to believe that was a fluke (as I've heard some say). Try to imagine what the line would be if the Eagles had just manhandled the Panthers as Arizona did...

People who think lightly of this team's defense should look at how they treated Atlanta's Michael Turner, Carolina's Steve Smith, and Dallas' Marion Barber; all big threats before the game; all neutralized to the point of embarrassment.

As I mentioned elsewhere, don't weigh the two Eagles wins over the Giants too heavily. Without Plaxico's deep threat the Giants are one-dimensional and much easier to defend. If the Eagles play as they did against the Vikings, their chances are slim. That, to me, was the real Eagles team. Solid, but not impressive. Better than the team that laid an egg in a must-win at Washington, but not as good as the team that beat the champs (because the Giants without Plaxico are not that good).

The difficult part here is to evaluate how good the Cards really are. Can a team really step it up this much in just two games? Or are the Cards bound to come down to earth anytime now? That is the question to me. If the Cardinals continue to perform at the recent level, forget about the Eagles. But it's a big if, because the sample size is small. That's why they ~~play the game~~ call it gambling.

See, this type of 'analysis' is the problem. The poster is not alone. A lot of people think this. This type of underestimation is definitely factored into the line.

jefyulo · 01-18-09, 06:32 AM

so if The Cardinals Win... Will the people say " the eagles gave them that game." ? I really hate saying. I told you so. do not underestimate them. they will shut down the eagles...

===> cards win. LOCK it up. i got 15 units on them.

jcz889 · 01-18-09, 07:09 AM

The Eagles do have a much larger track record of success than the Cards. Though it's easy to get swept up in the Cards recent success, saying that the Cards are a LOCK is a bit much. Like Dark Horse said though, if they keep playing like they've been playing recently, there's a pretty high chance they'll take the win here.

slacker00 · 01-18-09, 07:16 AM

Dark Horse,

The Cards D scared nobody in the regular season. In all categories they were in the lower half of the league, including ranking 32nd in the league in allowing Pass TDs.

Granted, they've stepped it up in the post season a bit. Still, they are riding the wave of 9 takeaways in 2 games. 9 takeaways!!! Can they really go into this game expecting the defense to generate 4 or 5 turnovers against a capable Eagles offense? It might happen, but I won't bet on it.

jtnguyen79 · 01-18-09, 08:51 AM

honestly can people stop using the word "LOCK" i mean really just say what you like and let it be

plus check all those people posting locks....look at dacbietviet sure lock right there

please tell me that you really don't buy into or subscribe to that link you put up.

anthmac28 · 01-18-09, 08:58 AM

Arizona will cruise!

Arizona finds a way to score points at home against anybody. They are right where they want to be...at home one win from the super bowl. Granted they were relaxed at the end of the season but that is what happens when you clinch too early. Make no mistake this is a potent team that loves to feast at home, and they will. Eagles are the Raiders of the NFC...they always find a way to blow it! McNabb makes some of the worst decisions with the ball I have ever seen and if Westbrook isn't 100% what's left? I know the Eagles have been hot as of late but like all good handicappers know, all good things come to an end. The end is near for the Eagles! Take Zona and points...just one mans opinion. GL to all

jefyulo · 01-18-09, 09:00 AM

Gents... The eagles could not score on the redzone. they are such a joke that their defense is the one scoring td. meanwhile, the cards are a brand new team, they are fired up, and they will not dissappoint their home crowd. They will GO TO THE SUPERBOWL. i guarantee it. LOCK IT UP. JUST PUT SOME CHANGE ON IT.. YOU'LL THANK ME LATER.

mp5070 · 01-18-09, 09:10 AM

Love the Eagles at -4. People are saying that the Cards will win the Superbowl. They said San Diego will Win it all last week, but my pick with PIT won. This is to easy, Eagles by at least 10 points.

Thank-you.

BigOrangeTitans · 01-18-09, 09:18 AM

If this guy isnt seasoned enough to have seen, experienced, and felt the (LOCKS) Jinx enuff times to know better, than he clearly isnt laying big on this game nor would i ever EVER follow his analysis. I am taking the Cards for completely different reasons.

Thanks Pal, You may have made some Eagles backers the glimmer of hope. THeres guys on ESPN posting the Eagles as LOCK for superbowl and then getting Ripped for it in Philly media, simply because you never wanna be THAT guy.

You'll learn... I went LARGE last year on Memphis/Kansas and everyone wasssayin it wasover and i then had to sit there and watch the biggest championship meltdown since Buckner...

Seems like a couple years ago Indianapolis was hammered by Jacksonville late in the season giving up 400 plus yards on the ground and giving up rushing yards in huge chunks to everyone. Come playoff time everybody said Colts are one and done. They Cant stop anybody. They will lose to Chiefs. Then at Baltimore they will get spanked. As I recall they allowed 4 FG total in both games. Granted they had the wild high scoring comeback against Pats to win AFC but they did go on to superbowl win. I lost betting against them all the way. I know Warner is not Manning but I like his arm better than McNabb's. Sometimes a defense can turn it around overnight. Cards defense does remind me of the way Colts defense responded that year. I just think the football Gods are playing with us this year by giving us Eagles/Cards for NFC. I won't piss them off. I'll take the Cards. The team of Destiny.
