Anyone Watching NFL?

  So who'll be watching this evening / tonight's games then??
  
  I've gone and put a treble on winning game lines for
  New York Giants to bt Oakland Raiders
  Tennessee Titans to bt Jacksonville Jaguars (quite possibly the worst team there this year...) &
  Seattle Seahawks to bt Atlanta Falcons
  
  depending on the bookie, you'll get around 1.2 or 6/5 for this... knowing my luck with predictions now, the Jags will swamp the Titans and the Seahawks will buckle!!! but I am determined to be right at least once this season...

  I love the NFL. Pretty much spend my whole Sunday evening watching it if I'm at home. I get to all the Wembley games too, but would really love to get to a game in the states.

  Did you see the Thanksgiving games willis? I came away with a treble win with Detroit & Dallas to win and Pittsburgh with a +3 handicap so just squeezed through with that one.
  
  But was surprised to see the 40-10 win over the packers by Detroit, scoring 37 unanswered points, and even though the Packers weren't favourites as Aaron Rogers was out, this sort of shows how key he is to their game as this was a bit of a ass-kicking. Matt Flynn who was starting QB was sacked 7 times??? including 1 for a safety, did the defence totally lose it?
  
  I'm going with Buffalo over the Falcons tonight, and fancy having a treble on the Jets, the Broncos and the Patriots, so knowing my luck, they'll all be crushed lol...

  I hope you didn't put that treble on Russy! You just can't trust the Jets. They're one of those annoying teams that can look solid one week then plain awful the next. They've cost me already this season, so they're one of those teams I pretty much avoid in the betting market now (along with Miami and Atlanta). Good job on the thanksgiving treble though. I normally have a dabble on the NFL but didn't get any bets on this weekend.
  
  I watched the first two thanksgiving games (the third was a little late for me). It was nice to see the Packers take a beating. I was shocked at just how bad they were though! Credit to Detroit though - they looked good. I'm looking forward to seeing Megatron and Bush at Wembley next year.
  
  Tonights game should be a good one. I'd always have to fancy the Seahawks at home but I had the Saints as an e/w outsider for the superbowl start of the season, so I'm hoping they can pull of an upset.

  I did have a dabble afterwards and the Jets blew it big time!!! Bastards.... and then Buffalo go and let the Falcons back in to kill my other bet too!!! Shocking weekend for me all in all..
  
  New Orleans have got about a +6 handicap for tonight, so you have to fancy that, but I'm licking my wounds, so will probably sulk instead

  Jets are a revolving parody of themselves as they have two ambitions every season, beat the Patriots by actually focussing on the game for once and secondly to be a laughing stock. I am a Patriots fan so I was more than happy to see the Dolphins beat them as it means my lot can put the division away by defeating the Dolphins. Russy, I wouldn't touch that handicap with a bargepole as Seattle at home are superb for the most part and Drew Brees gets less effective the worse that the weather gets and it is unlikely to be balmy in the North West at this time of year!

  Yeah, I bet it's a bit cool in Seattle at this time, so as I said I'm keeping my cash in my pocket sulking lol...
  
  The Pats made hard work of it yesterday didn't they, almost allowing Houston to literally run (and pass) away with it...

  thewolfman > 02/12/2013, 21:31

  Yeah, if it isn't one thing in the Patriots defense then it is the other!!! The secondary for the last few years has been diabolical and that seems to have been improved with the inclusion of Aqib Talib and some of the younger guys developing but the run stopping against Denver and yesterday was god awful. Still, a win is a win and the number 1 seed is a possibility but unlikely.

  Yeah I wouldn't go anywhere near that handicap either. A dome team playing in Seattle in December... I don't fancy their chances. Seattle -6.0 definitely looks the better bet to me (I'll still be rooting for the Saints though).
  
  I also really like the look of the under 47.0 total points line.

  Seattle's secondary is exceptional so I can't see Brees getting too many but you know he will have a few drives where he will be on it. The Seahawks on offense can be hit and miss, I watched them against the Rams and they were shocking and yet I have seen them carve open sides at will too, Russell Wilson hasn't quite developed the consistency he needs yet. I'll say 30-17 Seattle!
