With all four of the remaining teams being public darlings, the Books couldn't be happier with Sunday's games. Unlike last weekend, they shouldn't have any problems keeping their action balanced.

"These two matchups involving these teams in particular has the potential to create a record handle wagered legally in Nevada for championship weekend," says Chuck Esposito, Race and Sports Executive at the Venetian Resort and Casino.

"The Packers have the most momentum on the field and at the betting windows," says Jay Kornegay, Las Vegas Hilton Sportbook Director. "The public cannot get enough of the Pack right now and that's why you see the inflated number. I expect most of the tickets on the Packers with the sharp money coming in on the Bears once it maxes out. Where?? That is the big question. I would say -3.5 -120 on the Packers."

"With Aaron Rodgers playing so well, and Jay Culter playing pretty well himself, bettors will be expecting offense," Greg Sindall, SportsInterAction Oddsmaker says. "Expect the total to rise as the week progresses."

"Coming into this season the Jets were the popular en-vogue team with bettors and were bet to the preseason favorite throughout sportsbooks in Nevada," says Esposito (Venetian Casino). "I also feel there will be a tremendous amount of moneyline play on the Jets."

For what it's worth.............

GURU, I talked with my local bookie last night and he told me they were looking forward to Sunday. Same guy for 15 years and never a problem. I win..he pays. I lose..I pay.

He said they had done well with the NFL this season. He said the few hockey players he had were killing him. Go figure..............
