Len's NFL Sunday playoff gimmie.

[lendaddy]

This came up in another thread and it got me going. Anyway today gimmie is the over(47) on the early game (Minny @ Philly). This should indeed be a gimmie. There are alot of things Minny can't do, but scoring isn't one of em, so there's half the equation. Philly on the other hand has had one goal for the last three weeks: learn how to score without TO. They will have all kinds of new plays and formations to accomplish just that. Not to mention they have some good weapons besides TO anyway. Add to that: The average Pop Warner 12-13 year old football team could put up 21 against the horrible Minny D and I think you see why I like the over call here. ****

Someone needs to score a touchdown fast for your gimmie.

Not knowing whether Minn. would show up or not, I stayed away from this game.

Go Indy!!

[lendaddy]

I hear ya But if you watched this game, there were atleast 3 TD's that should have been scored. Just about everything went wrong here which is why gambling on football sucks

[jrdavid68]

I agree. This game was not about who wanted to win it, but who wanted to lose it the most.

Jets almost pulled it off w/out scoring an offensive TD.

[jrdavid68]

Will Manning go another game without winning in Foxboro? Time for a NE turnover!

[lendaddy]

Indy's only chance is the no-huddle, why they're not using it is beyond me. Indy does look really bad though. Kinda a boring game.

[tabascobobcat]

What's the early line on the Pitts - NE game ???

[jrdavid68]

I don't know if that will be out until tomorrow or not, but I imagine it will be close - 1 - 1 1/2 points??? What do you think Len??

[tabascobobcat]

I think that it will be better than the Super Bowl.

[lendaddy]

NE will be favored by 3-4. NE looked pretty good today and Pitt looked pathetic. That's my guess anyway.

[tabascobobcat]

I'll take Pitts for $100

[lendaddy]

Line is out, NE by 3. Take NE!!!!!!!! I can't be wrong twice in a row right

[tabascobobcat]

I'll still go with the 'Burgh

What exactly is this game called football? Seems interesting.

[rrpjr]

What has happened to pro football, the tradition of the champion's heart? I've seen two successive games, San Diego v. Jets, and Jets v. Pittsburgh, marked by the same bad and fearful leadership. Both were close games that ended in apparent "exciting" fashion but were anything but exciting. Both were contests of fear not courage, dismal exhibitions of weak nerve and "risk aversion" more suitable to a corporate quarterly-earnings mentality than a great team's heroic heart. Instead of striving for touchdowns to win games, teams reached a certain safe point in the field, the dispiritingly termed "field goal range," and essentially gave up. Teams did not try to win so much as avoid losing. It was pitiful.

Vince Lombardi, Chuck Noll or Weeb Ubank would be disgusted. They played to win. With first down on the opponent's 30 they didn't think of field goals. They thought of the end zone; they thought of glory. Somehow, I think it is a sign of our times.

Yes. As long as next game is crucial. If its a non pivotal game, I'll take Manning. Amazing stats his entire career, but has he ever won a game that meant anything?
