    Convince me why I shouldn't pull the trigger on....

    Convince me why I shouldn't pull the trigger on a Patriots and Packers two team ML parlay. $1000 to win $456.33.

    Seriously, can you really see Eli Manning or Philip Rivers going on the road in freezing conditions and beating a team led by Brett Favre and Tom Brady respectively?????????????????????

    Just checking what ya'll think.

    I see that in the "Conference Best Bets" thread Buztah like the two team ML parlay as well. Anybody not think its a solid play?

    Better Value with low risk.

    Chargers have not lost to the spread in the last 7 games the Patriots have only covered 1 in the last 7

    Chargers(SanDiego) +21

    Packers(GreenBay) -0.5

    Your Total Bet:
    1000.00
    Total Potential Win: est.
    769.23

    I hate parlays... I hate parlays of big favs more. The only worse thing I hate is teasing big dogs

    If you like either favorite, play it straight up - not in a parlay. A parlay for that is only good if your bankroll is too big for your bookie.

    Teasers... I like Green Bay teased. I hope your SD play wins, but I think SD+15 (or even 14x) is a better play.

    I think in his mind he believes that it's a certainty that those two will meet in the Super Bowl but he doesn't want to deal with the high numbers...

    I think the Patriots can be teased either way so maybe a teaser with the Pats/Pack and one with SD/Pack...?

    GL to your bet but bough 3pts is very bad I think. Since so many people bet on Teaser this game so which ever team win they might get out of teaser also. That 3 pts really mean nothing.

    WT.

    Getting back to the title of this thread, my response would be "because anything can happen in -40 degree wind chill in Green Bay!"

    This is not your typical cold-weather game, but rather one of Ice Bowl proportions, and if the teams can't pass, the Giants may actually have the advantage as they have a run-first offense anyway.

    Parlay of Pats & Pack, you are paying a lot of chalk.

    Plus, I like both dogs today.

    If you like the Pats, bet their Super Bowl future of -300 if you can get it at that price. I think that's a terrific value. This weekend is the only chance NE can lose.

    LOL...ummm....well I didn't put a G on it but I still had $750 on it, which is very high stakes for me since I typically am betting $50-$100 max. I was able to hedge out a little when the Packers tied the score up at 20-20 with about 10 minutes to go b/c the live scoring at the Greek had the Giants at +3 and I took them. They looked like they were moving the ball with alot more ease then the Packers at that point and also figured at that point the game would either be won by the Packers by 3 or by the Giants by 3 so I figured it was a winner or a push. Still had an absolutely terrible day though, but what can you do other then move on.
    Pretty sure the Giants got hammered by alot of people at the same time that I took them as I got them at -115 +3 and 1 play later after the kickoff return to about the 40 yard line they were at -160 +3.
