Being a Pats fan, Im freaking happy that they are going to the Superbowl to possibly hit the 19-0 mark. That said, the Giants were one of the teams that pushed us to the limit, and Eli has been on a hot streak, with the rest of the team geling quite nicely. I think it will be a close game just like the first time, but I think the Pats will come out on top again, but just barely like last time.

I say the Pats, but I'll be rooting for the Giants.
-------------------- Fuckmuffin. That word and muffintop are the two coolest things I've ever seen on this place. What would happen if a fuckmuffin fucked a chick with a muffintop? That's a lot of muffins. A lot of motherfuffin muffuckins.

i absolutely hate both teams but wes welker is on the pats so i guess i'll go for them. Maybe he could score all the games points on punt returns and win the mvp.

Spread went from 14 to 12... hmmm pretty tempting. I think Eli will fold under the pressure. He'll prob get a turnover or two early on and never recover.

Favre completely fucked my chance of going to the Super Bowl. I have zero interest in paying several grand to watch Eli Manning overthrow a wide open Plaxico Burriss and nearly behead the NE equipment guy on the sideline
The Patriots won't cover. I don't have my spreadsheets with me, but since the Pats' playoff run started in 01 they're under .500 ATS. 12 points is way too high - remember, their three SB wins were 20-17, 32-29, and 24-21 (maybe it was 27-24, I was hammered by the end of the game). They haven't covered the spread yet this in the playoffs and were 2-5 their last seven games of the regular season. Vegas wasn't giving them enough love at the beginning of the season (they started out 9-0 ATS), they gave them too much love the latter part of the season (25 point spreads are a joke), and now they're giving them way too many points because they know people are still horny over taking NE and it's easy money As for the game, it will be a lot closer than people think. Probably 35-27 Pats or 28-21 Pats. The Giants are a lot better than people think. Eli might made a lot of boneheaded plays this year, but he's still one of the top 5 qb's in the league talent-wise. He can make throws only two or three other guys can make. He had a problem with self confidence issues, which he's obviously gotten over real quick. He's already faced adversity and beat a HOF quarterback on the road in -10 degree temperature in a championship game. Trust me, he ain't the old Eli, other than still looking like an inbred dweeb. Let's just say I wouldn't be all that surprised of NY beats the Pats. --------------------   |

pats/giants 0/3 6/7 2/5 2/0 3/3 3/7 1/1 7/4 7/7 8/9 $2/square $50/quarter... I'm thinkin I should at least win one of those |

I played the square game at my old job once and won. I didnt even know I had won. I thought they went off the end score, and apparently it was off each quarter and then the end score. I won $100. I never played again. Yay for buying in with $5 and leaving $95 richer. I want to go to Vegas and win big cuz I know I can walk away.

Since I utterly detest the patriots I'm going with the giants. They gave the pats a run for their money last time around.
Giants by 3 -------------------- A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?

My dad said the Pats by 30. Silly dude.
Our numbers: Pats/Gigantes 7/6 8/1 That pot is $300 a square. Not sure what it pays out. -------------------- Fuckmuffin. That word and muffintop are the two coolest things I've ever seen on this place. What would happen if a fuckmuffin fucked a chick with a muffintop? That's a lot of muffins.

It was a boring game if you don't like to watch good defense. And BB left because he'd already shaken hands and done all that hoopla before that last 1 second play.

To be honest, I only watched the first 10 minutes of the first quarter and then the 4th quarter... I spent my time watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. It was much more entertaining.

yeah, he has always thought he was some sort of god at sports knowledge and predictions. That huge win he had a month ago is only going to feed his ego BIG TIME. I cant wait for it to come back and bite him in the ass though because betting is really retarded.
On another note, I was driving through Austin to go to ikea and Alamo Drafthouse, Will, and saw your mom's old pawn shop. Damn, that building looked bad. That does suck.

I dont know what a parlay is, but it sounds dirty.... kinda like the word diddle. That word is really dirty.
All Impala is trying to say is that you won that one bet huge and now you think you are some sort of deity in sports predictions. I think you're complicating what he is saying. |

I always hate to agree with will, but yeah, impala, you'd have never let him hear the end of it if your pick came through.
Own up. I picked the Pats too, even though I was rooting Giants. -------------------- WAIT. I'm not finished.

QUOTE (Hartmann @ Feb 4 2008, 11:01 AM) To be honest, I only watched the first 10 minutes of the first quarter and then the 4th quarter... I spent my time watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. It was much more entertaining. That shit was great. They need to design a puppy that doesn't grow up, that stays a puppy it's whole life. And put a speaker in him for good measure so I can listen to music through him. -------------------- Fuckmuffin. That word and muffintop are the two coolest things I've ever seen on this place. What would happen if a fuckmuffin fucked a chick with a muffintop? That's a lot of muffins. A lot of motherfuffin muffuckins.

QUOTE (Oasis @ Feb 4 2008, 01:34 PM) I don't do parlays yeah... so you threw down enough scratch (or were "good" enough for it w/your bookie) to win 10k without a parlay?? sure. And yeah you're damn right I quoted you so I could call you out if you were wrong. So the giants beat the spread? whooptie do... "Don't question me. Ever." ... laughable. I got a question for ya, if you're so all-sports knowing and seeing, and confident about your pick, why in God's name didn't you bet on the game??? |

I got a question for ya, if you're so all-sports knowing and seeing, and confident about your pick, why in God's name didn't you bet on the game??? Parlays are like the lottery. Much steeper odds, more chance of random occurences ruining your bet, but with a higher payout. I could place $100/$1200 payout six team parlays all day and never win. I did some research on parlays. A parlay with an 8/1 payout usually has a 1/14 success rate. I guess its good if you want relatively decent odds if you wanna throw down a bill (higher success rate than any other form of bet with a tenfold payout) but there's too much of an element of chance I threw $880 on the giants not bc I was confident with my pick (even though I was), but to protect my investment of $800 at 7/2 odds in the preseason. I would have either won $2500 or so or lost $888 (pick plus 11% rip). I took the giants to either win $1700 roughly, or lose $8. I lost $8 -------------------- |

well that's a conversation ender...
Although I don't understand how you "threw $880 on the giants" when not a few posts back you said "for the umpteenth time" you did not bet on this game... |

Although I don't understand how you "threw $880 on the giants" when not a few posts back you said "for the umpteenth time" you did not bet on this game... Yes, I did wager on the game. Not to win money, but to protect myself from losing money. I had an $800 futures bet on the Patriots winning the Super Bowl from this summer. 7/2 odds. Two scenarios could have happened: I win $2492 if the Patriots win [$800 x (7/2) = $2800 - $308 (11% commission)] I lose $800 if the Patriots lose So, I bet $880 on the Giants, giving me two new scenarios: I win $1612 ($2492 for the Pats bet - $880 for losing the Giants bet) I lose $16.80 (lose $800 on the Pats bet and win $783.20 on the Giants bet after commission) Regardless of the potential winnings, I'd rather lose $16 and change than $800. Plus, I had a bad feeling about the game. -------------------- |

makes sense... I was just wondering why you said you didn't bet on the game but now you're saying you did.

Well I didn't place any parlays on the game, which is what you said. I didn't consider it betting so much as saving my ass from losing $800. I started to get a bad feeling about the game a few days after the NFC/AFC championships. I made my pick here before I placed the bet -------------------- |

QUOTE (Oasis @ Feb 4 2008, 01:46 PM) For the umpteenth fucking time, I did not bet on this game. The thread asked to make a prediction - which I did. Impala decided to quote me so he could come in after the fact and make fun of me for being wrong. Funny thing is, I was right and his prediction of "pats will absolutely roll the giants. 38-17" was dead wrong. Figured I'd give him a chance to own up to his lousy pick (which you know he would have done to me had the Pats won) and instead he goes off on a tangent that has nothing to do with what I said. Typical impala I believe this is what Impala is talking about. Straight from the horse's mouth... or in this case, the jackass
