Oddsmakers have Pack as 1 point underdog· Page 2

1 point underdog going on the road against defending SB champs. Too scary, home team is usually given 3 pts, oddsmakers are usually pretty close, I am taking the point and betting The Pack gets it done by beating Steelers outright.

You are better doing this every time you like the underdog. I assume your payback increases with every point you give up when taking the "dog" in a game.

Up to a certain point spread the numbers shows that dogs that cover WIN the game an incredibly high percentage of the time. If you pick the dog, give back the odds, and increase your take.

I also like the Pack in this game. Most often I would stay away playing the Steelers at home with rest but I feel at this point no matter what they would like to muster they can't.

You are also correct getting in early. Public perception with the Packers win streak and the Steelers losing will probably drive the line down to pick or Steelers +1 by Sunday. Having said that late big money may lean towards the Steelers with the kicker being the 10 days rest.

I think our defense will raise total chaos for Ben. The offensive line looks lost out there and with the multiple looks we will bring I think you will see him on his back often. If there was an over/under on sacks for Pittsburgh I would say the number would have to be 5.

Not bad Warhawk but are you forgetting Ben see more exotic blitzes in practice than he would from the Packers, plus he plays the Ravens twice a year. He probably knows the 3-4 better than some of our defensive players lol. On that note i say the Pack by 10.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Let's not underestimate the Steelers. They won the SB last year because they had the #1 D in the NFL. This year, they're #11 but if I'm not mistaken, it's because of injuries to some key players (especially the guy with the cool hair).

Never underestimate an elite D. In big games, it often comes through. Ah, Polamulu. I was having a brain fart.

If he is out against us, I expect to win by double digits. If he's playing, it's going to be a tough game. He's one of the best all around DBs in the NFL and his presence is a huge morale boost to that D.

I can imagine the scout team this week.

"We will get into how they stunt their DL and double-barrell the ILB's this afternoon."

Speaking of afternoon, let's take lunch.

We should hammer them, they're playing like crap.

But their season is on the line.

When ours was on the line, against Dallas, we pulled out a blinder.

(I hope they've checked the permutations and actually realise their season is over. NFL network said the other day the fact they're down on all the tie breakers means even if they run the table they can't actually make the playoffs.)

He's out. I read an article this morning where he said he wanted to be back for the last game of the season just to get in a game before the season is over.

Packers 28-10, and I'm not even worried about it. The only thing that concerns me is a couple of three toothed Appalachian boys taking offense to my Packer wear and throwing me off the bridge into the Ohio River.

And from what I saw from Arizona last night, we just may run the table going into the playoffs. 12-4 sure sounds nice, and what's that I hear...the sound of silence from the Tators.

Thanks Warhawk. Too bad as I like the guy and I'd rather beat the Steelers with him playing. We as a team could use the practice against elite DBs before we head into the Playoffs. Troy Polamulu is one of the most elite DBs in the game.

I like the Pack in this one, simply for the fact that momentum is on their side. They are not an up and down team, not knowing what you're going to get from week to week. I'd rather be steadily good than great one week and horrible the next. This team is steadily good, and the D only continues to get better.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (16h) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (16h) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
