After their dismal effort this week i would want to be getting points to back the Giants.

I see Eli building off the beating he took and Giants D pulling it together. More importantly I see the line moving to 3.5 or 4 by mid week.

Whos with me??

Biggest play of the year??????? .... You've got to be kidding ... I wouldn't play the Giants this week if the line went to +10.

I hope your putting the same amount on money on this game as you do others as there is no such thing as a big play.

Each game has the same exact chance of winning.

I have to disagree with you there JJ. Statistically speaking, as you are, only a flip of a coin has the same exact chance of winning. What we are dealing with is sports, specifically NFL, where a multitude of factors come into play. For example home team advantage, injuries to key players etc. These factors have to be considered in NFL whereas they are not a concern during the toss of a coin. Hence we have a situation whereby books offer lines +/- some advantage/disadvantage, namely point spreads. If all games were 50/50 there would be no need for spreads and every game would be more or less an even-money, money line +100 -100.

I'm with you Brick. They were the third game I took when the lines came out, because I completely agree the line is going to move.

I like the Ain'ts at pick. Now I just hope everyone else likes the Bills, maybe then I will get a positive ML on this game!

I feel really good with Iowa State getting 3 1/2 @ Nebraska.

**Brick Tamland** · 09-27-05, 03:07 PM

Well... unless it comes back we are already winners! So far so good 3.5 and climbing!

I might lose a few pounds sweating this one!

Bowmans has a decent deal at -120 for anyone who wants to get on the train to NY

**Agent Smith** · 09-27-05, 05:47 PM

brick arent you like 0-6 for the contest? You trying to ICE the Prick by betting on NY?

**denn333** · 09-28-05, 06:34 AM

**Brick Tamland** · 10-02-05, 04:52 PM

**Mudcat** · 10-02-05, 05:06 PM

**jjgold** · 10-02-05, 05:09 PM

It won today, nice job

**mad** · 10-03-05, 12:58 AM

Yep, good call Brick.

I must admit earlier in the week when i first heard this idea i said "This guy is crazy".

Crazy like a fox.

**SBR_John** · 10-03-05, 04:19 AM

Very good call! I didnt see that coming. They laid an egg in the 2nd half the week before but not this time. You got a big blowout...nice to be on the right side!

**jjgold** · 10-03-05, 05:58 AM

The Giants have been given games so far so be careful playing them.

D is very weak

**Illusion** · 10-03-05, 01:58 PM

Very nice call.

**Pistol Pete** · 10-03-05, 04:01 PM
