4. Vikings receivers are no where NEAR as good as the Packers receivers.

Debatable. I think their 1-3 vs our 1-3 are neck and neck or they're slightly better. Our 1-4 vs their 1-4 is slightly better. Plus, Shianco's good but I'd rather have Finley.

AP though is a better receiver than anyone we have.

I do agree that...

1. Our offensive line can still be a concern due to Clifton and Tauscher not being reliable for a whole season.
2. Linebacker injuries should be a concern, but we do have depth at linebacker. People want to see Bishop and Chillar get more time anyways.
3. The loss of Jolly WILL hurt our defensive front.
4. Special teams really are not-so-special....

1. That's why we got Baluga.
2. Agreed
3. Nah. Our offseason took care of Jolly's loss.
4. You can say it. They suck.

Heh.

Only gamble money you can afford to lose. I follow a strict budget. Me gambling on the Packers will probably mean something like no new clothing for me for the next 6 months. It will come out of another part of the budget.

8 to 1 odds when there are 4 elite teams in the NFC and we can reasonably say one of those 4 teams will choke miserably (Dallas). MN has a history of choking and you know what they say about history. So that leaves us and the Saints to represent the NFC.

I like those odds.

I'm pretty sure this year is the NFC's. The Pats started their decline in '08. The Jets are on the rise but aren't ready yet. The Colts should decline soon. The Chargers are on the decline. The Steelers are a wild card as anything can happen with them.

See I know myself.. and sports gambling and me don't mix..

If I would just keep myself in check and only bet on the strong inklings I get about games, teams or whatnot would be okay.. but I get greedy and then start taking shots at the long odds.. because I will myself to believe I could be right..

And it spirals from there... when I first got out of college and had a large bump in disposable income.. read before I got married and kids.. lol.. I let it get a little excessive.. never got myself in financial trouble but stressed it.. and then finally pulled back.

So now I avoid it and not tempt fate..

Did I every mention I have an addictive personality.. the trick is controlling it. ;)

There... more than you wanted to know about Pack93z.. lol.

Pack - OK, did not know that.

Well in that case, don't gamble then. If I do make a Vegas run though and we win it all, I'll pm for your address and send you some good Scotch. However, I'm getting a lot of contracting hours though so the run is not likely.

LOL.. like everything in my life.. I am comfortable with it.. and try to understand it..

And most importantly try like a dickens not to judge people upon my convictions, opinions or trials. But remind myself I fail often as well.

Now.. I do keep a very strong eye on Vegas.. they have much invested in being right more so than any talking head.

When the kids leave or my financial's change.. I will dabble again.. lol.

Pack - Well, to a point. They're more interested in making money than being right.

People are tend to be sheepish. Which explains bandwagoners.

Vegas adjusts the odds accordingly.

By the way, nothing wrong with failure. I respect people who try and fail. I don't respect people who make excuses for not even trying.

Plus, if you fail enough times, you'll eventually succeed.

But the nearer to kickoff, tipoff, faceoff or first pitch.. the odds kind of fall in line more so..

Yes they set the lines to draw in money.. but much research is invested in making sure they minimize the odds for them losing their shirts..

packerfanoutwest (14h) : 49ers are underdogs at Packers, ending streak of 36 straight games as favorites

Zero2Cool (22h) : 49ers might be down their QB, DL, TE and LT?

packerfanoutwest (22-Nov) : Jaire Alexander says he has a torn PCL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : Even with the context it's ... what?

Mucky Tundra (20-Nov) : Matt LaFleur without context: “I don’t wanna pat you on the butt and you poop in my hand.”

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : ok so then wht are the totals the same as last week?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : NFL Pick'em is auto updated when NFL Scores tab is clicked

Martha Careful (19-Nov) : The offense was OK. Let's not forget the Bear defense is very very good.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Who updates the leaderboard on NFLPickem?

beast (19-Nov) : Has the Packers offense been worse since the former Jets coach joined the Packers?

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Backup QB helped with three wins. Special Teams contributed to three wins.

bboystyle (18-Nov) : Lions played outside thats why. They scored 16 and 17 in the only 2 outside games this year

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : The rest of the NFL is catching up to Packers ... kicking is an issue throughout league

packerfanoutwest (18-Nov) : Packers DL Kenny Clark: We knew 'we were going to block' Bears' game-winning field goal attempt

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Lions seem to be throttling everyone, but only (only) got 24 lol maybe the rain is why

Zero2Cool (18-Nov) : Packers vs Lions game doesn't seem so bad.

beast (18-Nov) : Dennis Green "They are what we thought they were, and we let them off the hook!"

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : comment of the day Z2Cool "Bears better than we want to admit. Packers worse than we think. It's facts."

Mucky Tundra (17-Nov) : my worst case scenario: Bears fix their oline and get a coach like Johnson from the Lions and his scheme

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Badgers got hosed vs Oregon

packerfanoutwest (16-Nov) : damn,he hasn't played since week 2

Mucky Tundra (15-Nov) : poor guy can't catch a break
