Thinking about going "all-in" on the Falcons

[bigboydan]

I won't be going all-in. However Atlanta looks like about the closest thing to a lock on the board today. I just can't see how Az. can even compete in this game at all, because the Falcons have all the edges IMO.

Who's with me?

[onthewhat]

Do books even take 50 cent wagers?

[ritehook]

I agree, tho for a small wager.

The rookie vs the vet at the critical QB position is what worries me.

[bigboydan]

Do books even take 50 cent wagers?

I know you can't answer that question because you only wager Monopoly money, however some books do take $.50 wagers. However, you might want to ask Pat about which books do because he's an expert on the subject sir.

Why are people betting Arizona?

If Arizona was in a half decent division they would have won maybe 5 games this year.

I'm not all in (not in the least bit) but I'm about ready to lay some wood on this one, increasing my units on the black-birds. As I was already sold on this squad on the road at -2.5, so +1 is a gift.

[fiveteamer]

May bet this

Atlanta Falcons-3.5 +183

[daggerkobe]

Arizona is the play.

[bigboydan]

Why are people betting Arizona?

Maybe because Kurt Warner has big game experience.

Other than that tid bit I couldn't tell you why they like them in this game sir. Everything I see tells me that Atlanta is the play in this game today.

[InTheHole]

I think that would be a good decision

[bigboydan]

May bet this

Atlanta Falcons-3.5 +183

That's a solid wager sir. My numbers indicate Atlanta being a 4.5 point favorite in this game.

i think zona is gna have a field day passing...i took ariz for 2 units

[danrman]

yeah they got a good running game and if they get pressure on warner w/ abraham (if he's healthy), warner's a turnover machine.. i think im going w/ atl myself... anquan boldin has a bum shoulder

[fiveteamer]

Will wait for more money to come in on Zona and get an even better price.

[pimike]

DAN AZ will win this game sir. The over may be a better play if you don't like AZ

[mmike032]

yes, I've been waiting to get a better line, I think more money will come in on Zona b/f kickoff.

but I think Atlanta getting any points is a great bet

[james4512]

i got the falcons over. I think thats the best NFL bet i can see. Arizona hasnt played a meaningful game since november so its hard to say how they come out. The chargers-colts is damn near impossible unless LT is out of course

[frostno98]

The thing that scares me about this game is the whole world is on Atlanta. As bad as Arizona has been playing, this team can score quickly. Especially when they're playing in an Environment that is not cold. Since Atlanta is an indoor team here, I think the grass team might have a slight edge.

I agree both teams can score, over looks solid. Maybe 40 or more points in the first half.


21-20

They have to have the ball to pass it...and if the Falcons dominate TOP running the football, it may not make any difference.

If John Abraham spends all day in the Zona backfield knocking Kurt on his butt, it's hard to throw off your @ss...

Just something to think about...

I originally was looking at Arizona, but I'm taking Atlanta at +1.5. The only decent team Arizona has beaten this season is Dallas. If they weren't in that division, they'd be 6-10.

Zona won their division by default.

[pavyracer]

Falcons beat all NFC North teams and all AFC West teams except Broncos. They are 7-1 against these two divisions. Won 4 games west of the Mississippi river.

True but Vick put money on the Cardinals, the whole jail system across america made the line move cause of this.

[Cheme82]

Are you guys seriously thinking Atlanta wins this game? This is going to be a double digit blowout by Arizona. Remember that game back in October when they beat up on the Cowboys? And that is when the Cowboys where healthy and playing good football. A lot of people were putting them in the superbowl already.

Expect hell for Matt Ryan today, and even as good as Turner has been this year, they will load up the line and hold him in check. They held Marion Barber to only 45 yards rushing. (he was averaging about 80 per game at that point). Arizona's defense can step up big time at home and that's exactly what will happen today. Arizona goes up and Atlanta has to play from behind, the rookie has to throw the rock more than they really want him to, Rodgers-Cromartie gets a pick, Warner airs it out to everyone and their brother, Cardinals win by like 2 TD's.

[fiveteamer]

chem you sound like a talking head on NFL Network.

How many games do you think Arizona would have won playing in the NFC South.

Zona beat the Boys, in OT, at home, back in September, big f'kkin deal.


ATLANTA ROLLLLLLS.

[pavyracer]

If they load up on Turner White and Jenkins will score 2 TD's each. Falcons have many weapons. They can beat you with Turner, Norwood or White and Jenkins. And the Falcons defense will score a TD today. Just pick your poison. Mike Smith is the better coach. Any team that gave up 40 points in half of their games this season has no chance against the Falcons assault today.

[fiveteamer]

Well, Mike Smith did fukk up vs. the Saints...

[Cheme82]

They can load up the box, double White, and they can get away with playing Jenkins man to man. Assuming both defenses are equal, which playing in Arizona I don't think is the case. What would you rather have?

Warner
Hightower,Edge
Boldin, Fitz, and Breaston

or

Ryan
Turner, Norwood
White, Jenkins

Atlanta has the edge on Running backs and that's it. This game will be won through the air and when you have a QB with almost 4600 yards and 3 1000-yard Receivers, it's very hard to look past that.

But either way, let's see what happens and if I'm wrong I'll come back and admit it.
