Sam, I love New England this weekend... I already made a decent play on their ML alone... This parlay could definitely happen... Anything is possible when Rex Grossman is the QB of the opposing team... The OceanBirds got waxed there earlier this year, but I have a feeling this one will be a lot closer!
Sam I feel your pain, I was right behind you in line getting ready to get paid on this parlay.
These games were classic examples of how you can measure physical talents and match-ups and get it totally wrong when it comes to the second season, i.e. playoffs.
I'm just in a daze that Seattle managed to lose this game. I think it goes back to last Super Bowl, when they were the better team, but Steelers made the big plays and managed to win. Seattle played in the SB like a boxer who outpunches his opponent round after round, then gets caught flush on his jaw. Memories of that tough defeat still fresh, I believed this motivation (that Seattle should be SB champs) was going to motivate them throughout the playoffs, and should compensate for their defensive injuries. But they are just a cut below championship level, darn it, and just couldn't hold on to their late lead, ouch, 13-1 odds ouch.
In the other game, the lesser talented more experienced team, managed to get by the boneheaded (do you really have to pick that ball off on a 4th down pass????) team, truly not a shocker when it is playoff time, it's a whole other level.
Darn, darn, double and triple darn, we should be buying drinks for everyone at this forum right now Sam.
