Pats below 2s

New England are the value at 2.84.
The playoffs are full of very average teams they have to beat the jets again which of course they did in style in week 13. It will surely be closer but still. The hardest game will be next against most likely Pittsburgh but if not Baltimore. Think Green Bay might give them most to do if they make it to the superbowl but really cant fear any team in the NFC they have all been beating each other all year and are very average. |

Atlanta at 7.8? Were 6 before the game! Honestly, this is an overreaction of the highest proportions.

how so....atlanta getting the packers rather than seattle...

By:
Green Bay now shorter than Atlanta?
What will it take for this market not to love an ordinary team. |
|
By:
atlanta deserve respect.

By:
They were 7.8 at the start of the week when it was all but given they would face New Orleans.
Instead - the Saints are out of the competition and they are facing, in my opinion, a poorer opponent but in general, not a massively better team. And yet they are a higher price? Can understand Pittsburgh's drift but Atlanta's is crazy - but their price has been ridiculous all year anyway. |

Looking like packers will be favourites in Atlanta rightly or wrongly
|

By:
Packers were 2.12 when at Atlanta in week 12, will be interesting to see how the price compares this time round.

packers are not a poorer team than the saints

I just don't rate the Packers. Have had running battles with the market all year (San Diego, Green Bay, Chicago and Atlanta.) Been more right than wrong upto now, but in one off games...

By:
i dont know what you want from a team tbh...they have excellent secondary....good pass rush qb and receivers,even found a running game.
|
|
By:
it pains me to say but i agree with harry
think they could go all the way but tough game against falcons |
|
By:
after tonights showing you gotta say the team to beat is the pats, packers good in the fh but were shocking under P in the second , eagles with a little more sence would have won that game , never mind the to fg misses, packers are a huge lay imo
|
|
By:
the pack are sound...won more easily than score suggests tonite..will take a proper team to beat them....falcons?....nope.
|
|
By:
Falcons is a proper team ffs, better every week on D, all round on O...
Packers week side on the D (sill good) is run D and short passes in the middle...Turner will have another good one vs Pack and Tony G will be hard to stop...they have the tools to stop White however. Falcons favs imo in a close one |
|
By:
Moaner has a huge red on the Pack, must be sweating now are brushing aside Vick and co. Average team indeed
 |

By:
That game tonight was way way closer than the Eagles deserved. Jones catches that pass end of the 2nd and the game was done at HT. Packers controlled the virtually the entire game. That was impressive.
|

By:
The worry for the Packers is that they should have closed that game out long before the final whistle.
The Eagles were the width of Brent Celek's foot away from converting that 2-point conversion which meant that they would have only needed a FG to bring the game into OT. Then Vick still had a shot at the EZ which the Packer corner did very well to intercept. They can't afford to dominate matches like that and still leave the opposition a 2-min drive at the end of the 4th quarter to win the game. Hands up who doesn't think that Brady or Roethlisberger or even Matt Ryan wouldn't have won that game last night. |

I laid the Pack as insurance at 1.15, so that's probably your answer, seen it all to often this year. Putting teams away after controlling games has been a big issue, evidence by GB's continued loss by 4 points or less, usually when they've held a lead in the 4th.
Their defence was huge last night, although didn't get the regular turnovers they usually would. The offence played ok, not superb (apart from Starks & Rodgers who were excellent), Jennings & Jones only 1 rec each, Driver and Jones both had easy drops, and the amount of fumbles was worrying. That said, they subdued Vick and got the win. ATL v GB is a tasty match up with a **** paper between them in terms of quality, can't wait. |

Think people are just trying to pick holes in teams performances....its not as if they were playing the panthers.the eagles are no mugs,only criticism i have is mccarthy should of been more positive on their last drive...its the playoffs,you are supposed to win tight games,look at the saints,they are out....matt ryan needs to do it in big playoff games not regular season games...we may see next week.

btw how many packers fans were crapping themselves on that play where vick found desean in the middle of the field..thought he was going to take it to de house.
|
|
By:
Every GB fan will have been nervous but it's something you are accustomed too because it's all regular with McCarthy.......as good as he's coached his team this year his conservatism in his play calling with a lead is a flaw in his make up.
That's the main reason that the Packers are in lots of close games, it's been the same throughout his tenure in Green Bay. It's infuriating to watch many games and realise that the Packers are clearly the more talented team but fail to put teams away due to the head coach not putting his foot on the gas when he has a lead. |
|
By:
Totally agree, if the roles were reversed & GB were 4th and 1 on the goal line needing 2 scores, he would 100% have taken the 3 points.
Was a brave call by Reid, but the one every fan would've called. |

Go Seahawks [:D] |

i am still in shock after the loss to saints! how in the world did Seahawks pull out the win ?!
thats why i love NFL; you never know who will win[;)] |

By:
Mike mayock on commentary was a bonus....he did point out,well this was when the saints were behind,that the last time they met the game was closer than the scoreline...matt hass also killed the saints D in that match even though he only threw 1 TD,he had 366 yards, lynch coughed the ball up twice on that day..no idea if he fumbled in the redzone

'The worry for the Packers is that they should have closed that game out long before the final whistle'
Spot on IMO. I am a Pack backer but a more street wise team would have killed that game before H/T, go in 3 TDs up and breeze through the second half, they created problems for themselves that otehrs wouldn't. Opening line Falcs -1.5, moved up to 2, which is reflected in the superbowl market where Falcs are 7 and Pack 8 |

Pats @ 2.75. Now that is too short.
As a pats backer, I have a bad feeling about this jets game. Ace's gut rarely wrong! |
|
By:
Can anyone explain the irrational drift on the Falcons whilst they stay at the same price in the Match Odds?
|
|
By:
No good explanation...market has Falcons as huge outsider in the superbowl of some reason

Packers price is built around the markets hte for the Bears - they were underated all regular season, sneaked the #2 seed, have homefield advantage in the championship game yet are the outsiders of the four ? ? ?
Seahawks didn't show up for 3 quarters and even if they had done they wouldn't be strong enough in all areas to dominate the game, 7-9 doesn't lie, but the way the Bears allowed them back into the game is worrying for Bears fans. Did they get complacent ? Take their foot off the gas ? Who knows, but a largely toothless Seattle were allowed to get back into a game that was dead and run up 170 odd yards and 21 4th quarter points. Packers looked serious in all areas but I can't remember a road team in the championship game being fav for superbowl - backed into 2.82 now. Pittsburgh look the best value for me at 3.15 though the prices suggest Packers would be around 1.75 and Steelers 2.2 for superbowl |
