  The teams I've seen give Seattle the most problems are those that run the ball. That's not really the Saints game, and with that secondary and the possible weather conditions, I can't see Brees having a big game. Saints D has improved this year though and that's why I'm liking the under 47 points.
  
  100+ yards for Lynch and a 24 - 14 Seattle win.

  So Seattle run 34-7 winners and clinch their place in the playoffs, with the Saints unable to get a first down in their first 3 plays! In fact their first 1st down was in the dying seconds of the 1st quarter, unbelievable and well done if you took the <47 points mark...
  The sleep fairy then came and visited me and I missed most of the rest...
  
  What gets me with a team like the Saints. who as you say are a dome team, is when they visit a place like Seattle in the cold, then what extra preparation did they do? In this case it appears nothing, I wasn't really expecting a panning like this. Oh well, never mind, not my team and I didn't lose anything which is more important.
  
  Houston at Jacksonville on Thursday night, and the bookies are offering the Texans at -3. With both teams having had good games on Sunday, lets hope they are recovered enough to give us another good show. 43 points is where the game total is being set to >43 may be the way to go...

  I had a little dabble on the under 47 points as I really fancied that, so happy to see that come off :D Game was on too late for me to watch but it looks like the Seahawks were even more dominant than I'd expected. Benching Brees in my fantasy team this week proved a shrewd move too (even if Rivers wasn't all that much better).
  
  Not too sure I like that >43 on the Texans@Jags game after Jacksonville ran out 13-6 winners in Houston only 2 weeks ago! I can't see it being that low scoring again but 43 points might be a push... It's a tough game to call as well that one. Jags have certainly improved of late, but what I've seen of them, the Texans are a better team than their 2-9 record suggests. I think I'll be avoiding this one for betting, but if pushed I like the Texans -3.

  The Saints three defeats this season have been in New England, New York and Seattle which is three of their four games in the north, they won the other one against the Bears but not by a canter. It does look they go cold in the cold!
  
  As for Thursday night's game, it is about as appealing as sticking your todger in a shark tank when it comes to viewing but it is one that you cannot predict either. The Jags have won three out of their last five but that is merely trying to put polish on one of the biggest turds in the NFL (if Blaine Gabbert is an NFL starter then I'm Mahatma Ghandi) and the Texans have just been dismal, I'm actually backing Houston in this one.

  Just looking at the schedule for this week and saw the Texans beat the Jags 43-37 after OT in the corresponding fixture last year.
  Looked an absolute belter of a game. Henne threw for 354 yards / 4 TDs and Schaub 524 yards / 5 TDs... Blackmon and A. Johnson over 200 receiving yards each!
  
  I'm with you though Wolfman - I won't be staying up for this one! I think it's pretty safe to assume that we won't see a repeat of that this year.

  Another fascinating week in the NFL with something on the line in every game apart from two and it is the time of the regular season when the big players come through at the big times.
  
  Peyton Manning and the Broncos came back from an early Tennessee onslaught to take control and ultimately destroy the Titans. Their defense has to be a concern though and I can see them drafting a lot of secondary next year because Champ Bailey is coming to the end, their interior looks decent enough and Von Miller is a quality linebacker when he isn't messing around with piss tests.
  
  Tom Brady epitomised the phrase 'cometh the hour, cometh the man', thankfully he didn't wait an hour to perform, was more like around 50 minutes on the clock. The loss of Gronk for the season will be huge though and I would be shocked if they get to the Superbowl and that is coming from a supporter of theirs.
  
  The NFC looks interesting going into the last few weeks. The Seahawks have to keep themselves with the number 1 seed as much as the Saints have to overtake them. Seattle showed their weaknesses on the road against a solid defensive team and New Orleans showed that they are irresistible at home with an impressive display against a good Carolina side. The wildcard race will be fun and games as well with tonight's game between the Bears and the Cowboys being huge for both sides play off chances.
  
  Bring it on!

  SUPERBOWL XLVIII or Superbowl 48 to the likes of you and me and it was apparently the match up of the #1 offence (Denver) vs the #1 defence (Seattle) which the stats showed the defensive team came out best 3 out of 4 times...
  
  SEATTLE SEAHAWKS 43-8 DENVER BRONCOS
  
  and so it turned out again although but such a margin that it surprised most everyone, in fact you could say the Seahawks rode roughshod over the Broncos...
  
  Right from the first play when Denver had a bit of a mix up which saw the ball fly past Peyton Manning's ear into the end zone which then became a safety, the Seahawks muscled and bullied the Broncos in both defence and offence, and it was lucky to be only 22-0 at half time.
  
  After having to suffer Bruno Mars (RHCP were ok though) as the half time 'entertainment', the 2nd half was up and the Broncos actually got a score on the board, but that was it, normal situation resumed and the Seahawks continued to dominate...
  
  Nice, though if I had only picked Seattle earlier in the year it would have been nicer still, I doubt they'll be a 12/1 shot next season...

  lol, yeah football eh!!!!
  
  It also made me laugh, well sigh really when the announcers kept referring to the winners as 'WORLD' Champions!!! so America is now the WORLD is it? I know they probably think so but the rest of the WORLD doesn't.
