I thought you were going to say I am predicting a 24-7 score by halftime.
If you can't see the parallels between the two quotes - or own your braggadocio down the stretch and into Denver last year - then you're right, you're not equipped to be of help.
Lol. That's fully paid, but keep firing. You miss 100 percent of shots you don't take. You want to light your money on fire with Houston have at it hoss, someone will take your action.
You are trying really hard to be a hardass here and I'm not sure why. I see what Stitch is saying and I can see the difference between his two statements, not particularly difficult. What kind of bet are you talking about making here for this game? That the Pats won't win? Won't win by X? Let me know, I'd happily make a small bet with you to benefit the Jimmy Fund.
Sorry, not trying to be a hardass (and sorry Stitch, the bet comment was over the top), just not a fan of the "we're the bestest, no one else can tough us" smack that bubbles up this year, especially after having to watch PeyPey get a hideously undeserved ring a year ago.
I think you're off a bit. "A favorable road matchup" is similar to "would be greatest playoff upset" in the sense that the poster thinks the Pats will/would win both games, but that's about it.
Agreed, and in the spirit of moving ahead, I've set up a separate prognostication pool thread
He went with his initial gut reaction, and didn't make a bad decision, but I bet if he'd given it a little thought he might have come back with something like, "you can only use it if you agree to the stipulation that any presentation of it has to be accompanied right next to it by a disclaimer that the Pats were railroaded in Ballghazi and no deflation of anything actually happened".
I was at this game and as I recall it was played in a nor'easter and I remember it being pretty windy. Not blizzard wind but quite high. Probably the most miserable experience I've ever had watching a live game. The temps we're right around 40 but it felt so much worse.
I don't have 5dimes so can't log in there but the only prop I can find using google is first half NE -10 (-105) o/u 22.5
OK, I stand corrected about the wind. All the more remarkable performance by Tom then.
Is anyone else concerned about our DT depth? We currently have only three on the roster. I know I'm getting ahead of myself here, but if we end up playing Dallas in the Super Bowl, is that enough to hold up against the run for four quarters?
Online sports books don't post props until the day of the game. They also have lower max bets. It's their way of limiting exposure since the lines usually aren't as tight.
There are two DT on the PS, so if Branch can't go there's a good chance they make a roster move.
No fair posting that in the middle of a work day. Like I could somehow stop watching after the Voinovich moment.
Yeah, not only does calling it off because it's not the right defense keep it off film, it also means that they don't run it against a bad look and possibly scrap it all together because it didn't work.
The part when deflategate started being discussed gave me the nausea/willpower to stop the video.
Holy crap. Around 9:00 mark of that thing Welker says he's not feeling well, then Edelman takes one to the house around 9:40 - Belichick says into his headset: "Hey Ernie, what was that guy's name who played before Gehrig?" Then goes over and asks Welker if he's ever heard of Wally Pipp.
Well it sure felt a lot windier in the 300 level haha. It's the coldest ive ever been during a sporting event. Completely soaked. I went to the Broncos game when it was in the teens and it was so much more comfortable.
Sure, and the coldest I've ever been was on a day skiiing at Alpine Meadows when it was about 35 with rain/sleet mix all day. That shit penetrates all clothing. Too new at skiing at the time to just go inside the lodge and drink.

Yes, though it was listed as knee originally.
Wow, that game was November 13th. Is it more likely his knee or hip? Find it hard to believe a thigh bruise would linger for almost 2 months. Then again, he is tough, he played the Denver playoff game in 06 with a sports hernia.
But they won both games by less than a touchdown, so they make you work for everything. Or something.
