Agreed also it really make no difference that the game is in Washington, we play just as well if not better on the road

Is there no late game next sunday?

Whatever happens it's good to see it nigh on 9-2 the field heading into the play offs
 ...sure beats when it was regularly 6-4 the field and homefield throughout was the be all and end all. |

didnt think i would ever say this but the seahawks will roll over both dallas and washington without a problem imo, even on the road.
the only thing that would change my mind is if Sherman gets banned but i cant see that happening now. the seahawks have shown they can score big on the defense and the offense and look to be playing on a different level atm. the only team i think playing just as well are the packers and i would probably take Rodgers esp at Lambeau. |

Thanks d13phe & Harry, it should be a great tense game, perfect
 |
|
By:
Yes deffo Skins-Cowboys.

although looking at the tv planner it has not been put in the schedule

You are forgetting that RGIII will torch that Cowboys defense. He will light it up and blow it away. Cowboys couldn't stop a banged up Steelers team from moving the chains consistently. Look how the Bengals stopped them easily.
RG111 will run amok against Dallas defense |

That's what had me wondering Harry, thanks grayhawk

its unbelievable how the giants have imploded.
think it was a case of the next year hangover. they didn't look like they wanted it when it mattered. |
|
By:
Giants have destroyed Green Bay and the 49ers this season yet have fallen apart recently. I thought they rolled over yesterday. Ravens wanted it far more
|
|
By:
See what you mean Harry but the 20 ticks only equates to 1% difference at those prices and as you can get 2.6 Cowboys to win the game on the early tissues then it can't be any less tbh , those discrepancies suggest to me that if Cowboys did win next week they'd be shorter in the outright book than Skins would be if they'd have won.
Prefer to face Skins myself , i'd have more sleepless nights facing Romo in a play-off scenario this season. Good luck chaps |

By:
Too right d13phe......was it overconfidence?....ie. we know what it takes, we have done it time and time again when it matters.....but they just expected it to happen and didn't make it happen.
After watching them demolish the 49ers and the Packers you'd be shocked if they didn't make it. |

By:
I dont see the seahawks rolling over one of these teams on the road..they may win but cant see them rolling over them...they are just not that special outside of seattle... they have not played a top draw team away from seattle yet...they play with a completely different intensity at home...they are like crazed killers...take away the bills away game and they never put up many pts on the road...if washington or dallas beat them nobody would be surprised...they are playing well though...redskins would be a tougher game for seattle as the skins are good against the run...would be a tight game imo.dallas game could be any score...bring on the playoffs

clay davis it is all about matchup..you have missed out the part where washingtons rubbish secondary was TORCHED in the 2nd half of the game redskins almost blew...this will be a shootout as both secondarys are rubbish...sticking with dallas
|
|
By:
giants missed tuck badly...bradshaw should have just stayed at home..pointless him being out there...the ravens put in a bad game v the broncos but usually they are fairly invincible at home and it proved so yesterday...giants have plenty of quality in place to be contenders for many years..they will be back next year for sure
yes they would be hayden...dallas one of them teams that divides punters..like a box of chocolates redskins will not get any respect unless they make the superbowl |
|
By:
Harry22 - I'm sorry but you were watching a different game from me. The Redskins mauled Dallas in the 1st half. Scored whenever they went down the pitch. Was way too easy. Sat off Dallas in the 2nd half when Romo went for broke. They got too passive. it's natural. Most teams do the same when they have a big lead. They didn't have the same intensity 2nd half.
If you are fancying Dallas based on the 2nd half v Redskins then u are very very blinkered |

quick poll...if you were an nfc team would you rather face washington or dallas in the playoffs??
>>>>Dallas. They'll choke. They're only in because the Steelers are a joke, and we saw how embarrassing they were this week as well and against SD. |

By:
A lot of sporting events are decided by mentality and momentum. It's like a football team which reaches a penalty shoot out having been out played during the game - they know that should have already lost - you often find this team will win the shoot out as they have the mentality to go for broke. I expect Dallas to go for broke from the start next week as they will feel that they should already be done for the season having seemingly blown it against New Orleans whereas i think Washington will feel like they already deserve to be guaranteed a play off spot given their recent performances. So if Dallas start strongly and build up a lead Washington could start doubting themselves. Just my opinion.

49ers really 1.05-1.11 to beat arizona.....?
wont be under 1/10 come game day surely!!!!! |

^what do you know Mug..
merry xmas mug |

By:
Green Bay looking good now,ya'd imagine they'll beat Minneseota to seal the #2 seed,what are chances of 49ers resting starters and lose to Cardinals so they can take a different route than Lambeau,they might prefer to go thru Atlanta,unlikely I know just a thought....

I am with ClayDavis on this one. I think skins are a more rounded side with a better QB. I think they edge this one at home. From a personal point of view I wish Dallas would win as I think Seattle match up well to them. Lynch would run all over them and with Browner back could slow the cowboys offence down enough to win this. Seattle @ Washington would be tough to call.
I think there are far too many assumptions that Packers win this Sunday. Lets see if they stop Peterson first. Either way, some post Christmas crackers in store. |
|
By:
I think the Packers are a good match up for the 49ers and I don't for a second think they will be worried about playing them. They have beaten them already and i'm sure they will be confident about beating them again

they are 1.12 - 1.14 now.... btw ; )
merry merry xmas from the new york jets!!!!! lol |

Denver Broncos
Houston texans...who? |
|
By:
Surely the Houston Texans price has to be one of the best value offerings for a very, very long time.
Drifting to 18.5 after Week 17 seemed too much, but out to 23 seems utterly ridiculous. This is a team who was considered the favourites for most of the season and you don't become abject overnight. 23 looks enormous compared to the NFC odds despite the market thinking that Denver / New England would be large favourites in the Superbowl. They have lost some form, but playing a very ordinary Cincinatti side this week should be a gimme (1.5 looks absurd) and will give some confidence going back to New England which will be a tough task, but if they get through that, they will go to Denver on a high, where they have already won once, before going to the Superbowl. Almost as ridiculous as the price for a team with a rookie QB going on the road for 4 weeks when they have been, one game against SF aside, mediocre against all but abject opposition but they are the market's lovechild. |

By:
Imafraid Houston are on the slipery slope. OT wins against Jags and Lions didnt look good at the time and they have failed to recapture their early season form. They disposed of a poor Titans side but 3 losses (incl a hammering at NE) in their last 4 games shows they are a team low on confidence. They are certainly a match for anyone on their best form but losing Cushing mid season was a huge blow and the offence cant seem to get going lately.
In fact they could struggle to beat Cincinatti. A better team than last year they will arrive on the back of winning 7 of their last 8 games. Think QB will be under huge pressure form the sack master Benglals and if they can stifle the Texans and silence the crowd a shock is certainly not out of the question.It also depends if Foster is on his game as he can turn on the style no question. Close call i think! |

Division Downers
great write ups lads, Wild card road teams have a difficult time after dueling a division opponent in their season-ending finale, going 20-40-1 ATS – including 0-4 ATS last year. Send these highwaymen out as dogs of more than three points and the task worsens as they are 4-30 SU and 9-25 ATS. Not a good sign for the Bengals, Colts and Vikings this week. i think 49ers are massive and houston are too big and brady over manning again! like g.bay and under v minnesota, houston shud cover and seattle game will come down to rg3 and 3 pts! ravens win,so i am going for near all the favourites! |

This is a team who was considered the favourites for most of the season and you don't become abject overnight Considered the favs by clueless idiots it seems...a team who shortened to 4/1 half way through a season with a soft schedule apart from having to play the packers and the patriots who both stuffed them..even after the packers thrashed them they still remained favs....on becoming abject overnight...I would say abject over a few months...Layed them all season long at the stupid odds they were being backed at...I almost feel out of principle I should stay away as I dont like this team but if some miracle does happen I would be bankrupt I will back them above 20/1 before they face the bengals just to tie up the afc side...no need for silly risks at this stage. |

so then there were 8
and I win every time's 70s still going strong. I think the Ravens look huge at the current prices. |

By:
Pinny quoting NFC team to win the Superbowl at 2.360 (AFC @ 1.654) - seems very generous and would imply line of ~ 7 points I reckon which is way too high IMO
Dutching the 4 AFC teams on here gives 1.85 (excl commiss) while the 4 NFC teams gives 2.13 (excl commiss) which would certainly back this up. |
|
By:
Surely odds of 2.36 don't imply a handicap of 7 in NFL?
|
|
By:
2.36 normally represents approx + 2.5 viz with 7 points equivalent to approx 3/10 v 12/5 in fixed odds land , with some subtle variations from company to company
