week 13 money printing machine

woah.

If Chicago beat The Lions I will ride around Coventry naked on a white horse!

Again I wouldn't bet against the Packers particularly at home when there is a polar vortex in town! Not saying Patriots are not a better team either!

My only concern now is that you have backed Seattle, ordinarily I would too but now I have to think about it!

I hope I haven't been a bit premature re Bears. It is cold and wet!

Good start by the bears (my finger hovered over 1.8 at one point but fought the urge) but easily handled by the Lions.  Stafford back to form against the sorry Bears D.
Loss of 0.35

Didn't stay up for the Seahawks but nice to get on the board.  Win 1.1

Balance +0.75

for the best team in the NFL at the moment 2.6 (which is where the Pats started earlier this week) is a remarkable price.  It's the best value IMO since they were even longer priced to go to Indianapolis and win a couple of weeks ago).

New England at GB - lay GB: 2 points to win 3 points
Cinc at Tampa Bay - lay Cinc: 0.55 to win 1 point
Cinc at TB - Back under 44.5 points 1point to 1 point
Tenn at Houston - lay Houston 0.34 to win 1 point
NO at Pitts - lay Pitt 0.54 to win 1 point

What's the thinking behind laying Pittsburgh. The Saints can't defend or play away from home.

Had Pitts as 1.8 shots - so happy enough to lay 1.5x. 
Steelers too inconsistent to be that short against a fellow mid-rank side - they've just scraped past the Titans and lost to the Jets in their last 2.  Not exactly top notch form.
Agree the home field advantage may make a difference which is why I had 'em as odds on.

I agree that the 8-5 for the Patriots earlier in the week was the value.... the 5-4 they are now is closer to what i would have them.

Really looking forward to the pats @ packers, Would be on the pats at the prices but i may just take a watching brief and hopefully enjoy a good game.

Going to have a drink and watch the Packers, will have to tape Homeland. Got my Thanksgiving doggie bag ready to be warmed up. Americans in London do put on a good spread! The only problem is that most don't watch football ( speaking in the American vernacular! ). Got plenty of football ( back to English ) bets running till 9pm so today should be a feast.

Patriots are probably a better all round side but I am hoping the Polar Vortex will count for something and at least the crowd will not put off the Packers Offence ( I don't normally apply words like offence to sport buy I guess I have bought into the programme ).

Big Ben is a liability at times for the Steelers.  What a team they would be with a more active QB

Sounds like a good night!!

Big ben looks well off tonight

Not what you want to see when you've backed overs

Fat Ben needs to sit out the rest of this one.

Tomlin needs to get his act his together and drop big rat Ben for the rest of the game

As as Big Ben has been this game has been based around how **** IKE TAYLOR has been ...got absolutely burned the whole game by Stills . 5/6 TDs for NEW ORLEANS ......PATHETIC Defence

As usual though the Giants take the cake.

Plenty of surprises as always

And I'm dived in on the pats. Couldn't resist at the price

Looks like business as usual at Lambeau!  better not talk too soon!

Pats penalty strewn at mo.

Take that flag back

Pats will be happy to be only down by 6

Rodgers hurt on sideline there?

Yep.....been handing off with right hand only.

Would have expected Packers to convert one of first two chances.

Yep I hope they don't do an Arsenal!

You have to nail your mail to the canvas when you het the chance!

r u kidding me. This guy is a genius!

Green bay impressive so far.

O line playing well for Pack.

Was going to say the O has looked pretty poor on the road at times but today look well on top. Strange game! I expected more of the Pats but let's see.  It is cold baby!

Still think pats will put up points, but on that first quarter evidence I'm not sure they will keep up with rodgers. Worried as a pats backer.

Junior,

The handicap is now 10.5 on Bet365. That may offer you the best out. You dont have to try and win it all back either. reduce the loss...unless of course you think Pats can win

Hope Shields is ok!

Sorry Sodoku. I was being a bit premature there. Of course Pats can still win this

Haha, was just typing to say i think i might have missed the 10.5 after that score! More of what i expected from the pats on offence, have to persist to try and run the ball.

Surprised Bellichick didn't go run heavy from the start, like they played against the Colts..... defending power running game is a big Packers achilles heel

Yeah they do struggle against the run. Would set apply action to hit them deep. Saints did it successfully i felt against them in new orleans.

I have eaten a pile of turkey, pumkin, sweet potato and the like. Had a couple of glasses of vin and a number of my bets have come in.  I am just going to enjoy the FOOTBALL! of course I will only enjoy it as long at Packers win! No more betting tonight!  Good luck to you though

Pats red zone D is keeping this a game.

Big stop for the Pats D.

Or they can just let Brady throw it all day. What do i know!

Jordy Boy!

Give him the TD

wafer thin? which way?

Good enough for me just

Five scoring drives outta five for Pack

Great half of football

Cracking half. Should be an even better second half hopefully

Shocked at the Patriots gameplan.....

Run the frigging ball

Big break Pats, he ran into him!

Seattle new favs for NFC West?   If they win next week, I think they win through.

Too right Whispering

Green Bay looked like they wanted it more tonight so far....   Pats never one to trust when they dont have to

How on earth is this a 2 point game.

Field goals in the redzone is the reason why.

Missed FG and red zone FG could end up costing the packers here. They should be way ahead.

Hinges of battle!

Let's hope that call wasn't a game changer.

Who would have money on this game?

I like +10.5 Pats earlier! it was there for a few seconds!

I am struggling to understand how we still have a ball game here. If it was a boxing match it might have been stopped several times in the first half. GB may rue not finishing Pats off

that was amazing from Rogers and Pats defense! Shall we dance!

Unbelievable coverage by D THERE.....never seen Rodgers have so much time and unable to find anyone open.

12 seconds in the pocket!

Terrible drop. Pack trying to give this away!

should be gsm already

Backed Adams to score a TD

I hope this is the Superbowl match up but can't see Pack getting through the playoff's

this game is as mad as a box of frogs!

Sudoku is your money still down?  I would have had a heart attack by now!

That would have missed a 2nd set of uprights

.......regardless of result here - if they meet in Superbowl - I think Patriots win, feel unusually strongly about this - just hope I remember this if the time comes

Hope Packers get through - should do

Just missed my green and i mean just!

Finally the Pack D make a stop when they have too in a big game

Why Not Whispering...if they get homefield they'll be favs.....Only Seattle i'd be real scared of.

In the NFC that is.

Boy is Brady desperate to win this.

That first down just wrapped up the #1 seed for the Packers - happy days

Not sure about that swagger, long way to go, I just think the pack have had a fairly easy schedule

game shot!


I got a millionaire sister-in-law in Arizona and she is a WI gal so I am going to play the card if it gets that far although another night at the Sports Cafe will be fun too but the desert is beautiful in February!

wotcha swagger mate

Will agree Swardean,

Something missing from the Pack, can't put my finger on it though.

Good game, pats got certain elements of their game plan wrong imo.

Cannot believe GB never went odds against!  Go figure. It could have gone either way. Pack could have won the game in the first half. Feel sorry for anybody on Pats as there wasn't much opportunity to play the odds but they should have taken a small hit imho after seeing rogers set off like an exocet.

Going to watch Homeland now. Supposed to be one of the best episodes ever.

Falcons (home), Bills (away), Bucks (away), Lions (home) - you never know on any given Sunday and all that but barring Rogers breaking his collarbone or serious injuries to the offensive line, I can only see them winning out. Even if they lost one, chances are with 12 wins they would still get the top seed. I can't see Arizona winning two more games let alone three.

I do think the Seahawks will put the Eagles back in their box next week, it will be men against boys - the Cowboys were just horrible all over the pitch on Thanksgiving starting with the play calling. But the Seahawks have a harder schedule than the Pack. I still think the NFC East will come down to the Cowboys game at Phili as well, just my opinion.

Hope you all well Judge.

Think pack get the number 1 seed, although a resurgent seattle might cause them problems in the playoffs even at lambeau, I think seattle sneak as as no 2 imo. Can't really see past the pats and broncos for the afc.

Looking back Packers left a lot of points on the field .....the Pats not so.

The Packers O line which has been iffy has really come together the last 5 or 6 weeks.

Would like to see the Packers play Seattle at Lambeau in Championship game.

I still think the Saints are the potential jokers in the pack in the NFC but obviously they have blown their chances of a high seed. At some point, the defence might get back on the same wavelength like last season and the 5 touchdowns today might just get their juices flowing. They also have a relatively easy schedule and I could see them winning out going into the playoffs as the momentum side. I think New England will reach the Superbowl, I have no doubts about that in my mind. I just think this Denver side bottle it when the going gets tough - they almost did it against Indy earler in the season they were there for the taking but Indy lacked the belief. I don't think Indy don't have the defence and from what I have seen they have got schooled by Brady in recent years - I can only see the Pats at the Superbowl myself.

I agree, I think the Packers will be # 1 and the Seahawks will be # 2 in the NFC

yep cruising along nicely mate, hope all is well with you and Saint

I still remember the SEA v GB playoff game when it went to OT.   Matt H, "We will have the ball and we are going to win"

Glad to hear that Judge.

Does anyone know if Brian Cushing is still a bad boy beast for the Texans as I haven't got to watch them at all this season?

Balance from Thurs was +0.75

New England at GB - lay GB: 2 points to win 3 points  LOSE 2
Cinc at Tampa Bay - lay Cinc: 0.55 to win 1 point LOSE 0.55
Cinc at TB - Back under 44.5 points 1point to 1 point WIN 1
Tenn at Houston - lay Houston 0.34 to win 1 point LOSE 0.34
NO at Pitts - lay Pitt 0.54 to win 1 point WIN 1

So the balance for week 13 is -0.15

shame TB failed v Cinc with 12 men on the field when in field goal range.  New England also a bit frustrating - slow start to trail 13-0 with a lot of penalties the first Q.

Tonight:
Lay Miami 1 point to win 2.6 points.
Back over 41.5 points 0.5 point to win 0.5 point

Pop,

I'd be extremely grateful if you will advise laying the Pack again for week 14.
