Nice pick there man, it was quite a hammering as well.

Shame the Saints lost second week in a row as well (in overtime too!). Hope this is not the start of a downhill slide.

now i am MORE concerned, however at least they showed some life to come back from 16-0 down and 23-6 down midway thru 3rd quarter.

eagles and cards look stronger at the moment i have to say, tho tbh any of the NFC playoff teams could run the field

LOL - oh glorious day. Not only did the Colts lose their unbeaten record, but i had a little flutter on the Jets to knock them over. :finger:


We were leading up until they took Peyton & co out of the game.

200 yds offense compared to 10 yds of offence when Peyton was on and off the field.

Do yourselves a favour
I don't know who does the odds for the TAB on the NFL, but they don't seem to have a clue. I just dropped a small amount on the Bengals to beat the Jets. Now, the Jets may well win the game (because they get to the playoffs if they do), but the Bengals are paying $4.50! So the TAB thinks they're rank outsiders - go figure. :confused:

edit: the more i saw, the more i liked. I got some money on the Patriots - paying $3.60! against Houston. And the Pats to be AFC champs at $5.50. The reason i like that one is that the Colts hold no fear for the Pats, in fact if anything, the Colts will be worried about us getting through :finger:

$4.00 on the Colts to win...are the TAB insane!?

Time to cash in baby!!!
Like hell there's gonna start Curtis Painter after that fiasco + the Bills are nowhere as good as the Jets (injury prone, lackluster defence unlike the Jets, the best defense in the NFL....)

How the fuck did that happen? 21 unanswered points in the final quarter - just when i thought my money was safe. And it looks like Wes Welker is out of the playoffs. :(

Guess not:

Colts lose to the Bills 7-30
Saints lose to Panthers 10-23
Vikings pulverise the Giants (you'd be happy there Devil)

More here http://www.nfl.com/scores

So the Wild Card round looks like this:

Jets Vs Bengals
Ravens Vs Patriots
Eagles Vs Cowboys
Packers Vs Cardinals

Interesting rematch given that the Cowboys blanked them today. You don't want to give a side momentum like that.

Well I hope they do win this one. Eagles frequently seem to be able to topple the Saints with alarming frequency. I would rather someone knocked them out before they got through to try to topple them again :).

This is a little off topic but not too much.

I read this thread today and noticed you guys talking about the TAB and how their odds for American sports are a bit screwed sometimes. So I thought I might go check out what they had going for NHL games. Both Calgary and Detroit (go Redwings!) were paying about $2.50 to win. I thought that sounded a bit off, Calgary is only 2 places behind Vancouver (who were paying $1.30) and Detroit, even though they have been injury plagued so far this season and are sitting on about 12th, had some players returning. It turned out Calgary won 3-2 and Detroit won 4-1! $10 on each :)

So it seems like it definately pays to keep an eye on the odds, especially if you're an avid fan.

I can't believe they're not showing it on Sky. It's on now. I was playing golf yesterday so i missed the games, but i managed to see some of the Jets/Bengals game on the replay.

24-7 at halftime. The Pats blew a great opportunity with 2:50 or so to go in the half. :(

Ray Rice had a field day againts the Pats and it dont see the Pats jobs getting any easier against SD

I watched the first 1/4 of the Arizona game and thought the cardinals were gonna run away with it

Spoiler :
got back after a game of tennis to see Arizona missing a goal to leave the game at 45 all at full time

Cardinals defence was mean in overtime to get that turn over and the win

man that was a good game, tho naturally happy to see the packers lose they made an awesome comeback.

so next week

Vikings - Cowboys
Saints - Cardinals
Colts - Ravens
Chargers - Jets

Should be some good games, NFC games especially look pretty awesome.

I can't believe how shit Brady played - it was more what i would have expected from him in the rookie Superbowl appearance. To be fair, he got fuck all pass protection early on and i knew it was going to be a hard ask given the holes in the Pats defence, but we'll come back stronger next year.

Go the Ravens - its going to be a hard-ass revengefest against the Colts next week. I'm picking Ray Lewis is already practising on tackle dummies with Mannings face drawn on them. :rnr:
