Damn I wish I had bet the Giants and taken the odds on that Packers - Giants game. I think it was like 13-1. Clearly they are not getting the respect they deserve. I wonder what the odds will be for the 49ers - Giants game.

Sunday Jan. 22 has the Baltimore Ravens at New England Patriots with Tom Brady’s boys a prohibitive (-9) favorite with an over/under of 50. Sportsbookshave the Patriots (-327) on the moneyline.

The nightcap has the New York Giants at San Francisco 49ers. The Niners are (-3) point favorites with a total of 43.5. San Francisco is now up to (-143) on the moneyline.

In both cases, Vegas sharps jumped on the favorites at New England opened up laying just 6.5, San Francisco as low at just a one-point favorite, though most Vegas and offshore sportsbooks had them at (-2) to start out the betting.

I might take the Giants. That's not who I want to win. I prefer a Pats - 49er super bowl. But if i was betting money, which I won't be, I would take the Giants.

I have never bet against the Pats in my whole life. Even when I worked in Boston and played the pool at work, back in the '90s when the Pats couldn't win a game in my back yard with my grandma as quarterback, i wouldn't bet against them. Needless to say that little quirk of mine would make winning each week in the season pool a bit tricky. Now when it would be an asset to always pic the pats with my heart and the rest of the card with my head I don't have the opportunity to play where i live. At least not a friendly pool with friends and coworkers.

No Monday night football.. Season will be over soon . :-(

Inuus · 01-16-2012, 10:50 AM

Yeah I prefer a Pats 49ers match up anything but Eli...uugghh.

I have been a Pats fan (I grew up in NH) since I watched my first football game on a black and white TV sitting on my Fathers lap (whew showing my age). I stuck with them all through the times they stunk. Through Plunkett, Eason, Grogan, Flutie, Bledsoe and Brady. Of course a few QBs that should be forgotten like Matt Cavanaugh, Hugh Millen and Marc Wilson. I still have a Super Bowl XX brass key chain I use daily from Jan 26, 1986. Granted its a bit beat up from opening beer bottles back in the day!

I feel after all those years of sticking with them I deserve a few good years

Go Pats!

I have a feeling that it will be a Giants vs Pats Super Bowl.

Let's go Giants!

sadly the home town boys lost.
we have Aaron Rodgers from the packers that im sure will be home and spotted out in about.
we also have Jeff Maehl from the Texans that will also be seen wondering about and helping out in the community.
Go Pats!

I seem to have misplaced my decoder ring

But, it appears betting on my Patriots this week would not be a potentially lucrative thing. Yes?

Inuus · 01-16-2012, 10:35 AM

That basically boils down to the Patriots are favored by 9 points and the Niners by 3. A negative number means thats the team that is favored.

Ohhhh ok, I got it. So, I think the Pats will make mince meant out of the Ravens so I am good there.

My windfall comes betting on the Giants. But, do I dare?
