Waiting for 7 myself, so I can hit the Vikings.

Thats the only play right now but i dont think you will find a 7 at a good book.,

Brick, do you work for a book or are you a local bookie?

I took the Pack at -4. This game may be decided by a field goal and I wouldn't be surprised of the Vikings win, but I had a hunch. I wouldn't have made the bet if the line had been any higher. BTW, VIP has the Packers at -6 now. Do you suppose the majority of the bets have gone toward Green Bay?

I think the under is a sucker bet too....looks appealing with Minn's offensive woes. However...ATL was moving the ball easy on GB last week but turned it over quite a bit and Atlanta is no offensive juggernaut either.

This is actually a series that is dominated by the over with like 12 straight having gone over till last January's playoff game.

Go over the number here would be my recommendation.

i took minny +7 tonight myself. i don't like playing football much anymore. but i found some nice value in this game. so, i had to take my chances on them tonight.

I'd lean toward Vikings, but staying away from the NFL unless I get my fade picks.

only kiddin. I take some wagers for some buddies at my work. I see it like selling beer. No you shouldnt drink but they are going to buy it somewhere so I might as well make the money.

I am not sure if the wiseguys arent on Minny but my guess is that the public is on GB and it is moving the line all the way to 7. People dont like t bet against a quarter back that can light it up on any given day....too stressful

I must be a sucker cause I like the Pack tonite.

Minny and there 3 specialteam touchdowns didnt impress me all that much last week.
I bet early in the week and got a decent line

**Brick Tamland** · 11-21-05, 11:34 PM

Minn looks good for us!! GB's D couldnt stop a pee wee league team. This post will probably jinx us like it always does.

**Brick Tamland** · 11-21-05, 11:37 PM

Sucks they only got the fg but they need 2 scores to beat us. Looks good boys!

That was funny. And to answer your original question, no you are not wrong to take bets from people taking Green Bay at -6. It's their money and their risk, and if they are foolish enough to place bad bets then the will lose. If they learn from their mistake good for them, but if they don't then they are foolish.

Never let a sucker keep his money. Why would someone lay 6 points when the last 5 or 6 games in this series have been decided by a field goal? That's just dumb. Feel bad for them being stupid, but don't feel bad for taking their money because of it.
