    sbr confessions: why did you back the falcons? was it homeism or lack of rest theory

    packers clearly had the better qb, offense, defense, pass defense, pass rush, etc. going into the game.

    so why were so many backing the falcons? clearly some are just blind homers (im sure everyone knows who im referring to) but also saw others saying gb was tired cause they got 5 days rest instead of 6. they did not look tired at all.

    i learned early on that homerism clouds your judgement and often leads to going on tilt. and lack of rest angle is one of the most overrated of all time, at least in football.

    its beacause most bettors want to satisfy their ego more than make a profit. Most of these guys want to pick the winner that espn and the majority publice bet so they can feel like they are great at picking games.

    if people focused only on winnign the bet, they would be more profitable

    I was convinced that Green Bay was not as good as everyone keeps saying.

    I didn't trust Atlanta after they couldn't score against the Saints.

    shouldn't you be harassing trixtrix or be posting in a thread about points?

    Going against the public. Everyone, pundits, rlm was on Packers. I thought it was a good fade of the public. Big bad bet nonetheless.

    My bad play in that game was the Under. Had the Pack +105 ML, but saw the late heavy money on the Under, and since I got burned in the Indy game with the same scenario, I switched my play from Over to Under.

    D'Oh!!!!

    I'm glad to see that Atlanta's heartbreak came early in the post-season. Nothing like a bitch leading you on, giving you blue balls, with no realistic expectation of getting anywhere.

    Way to go, Falcons. Epic failure.
