I think the Pats win this one, but there is no way I would be willing to give up 7 points on them either. I'll be going small on something and see about going bigger at halftime. I will post my play or plays probably on Saturday.

1ST PLAY is a prop bet at 5dimes:
1. Carolina never leads + 160

2nd play is going on my assumption that the Pats win the game, but I don't want to lay the points. I am going to treat this all as one bet. If I win or lose more than .50 units it will count as one win or one loss on my record. If it's less than .50 units it will count as a push. Either way I will be adding up all of the units to go on the total. Just wanting to say this is not going to be treated as three plays, but one, on my overall record. This is all to be considered one play as overall strategy is incorporated.

Play # 2:

Patriots ML - 200 1st half(Olympic)win 1 unit
Car. ML + 165 1st qtr(Pinn,5dimes)risk 1/2 unit
Car. ML + 170 2nd qtr(Pinn,Olympic)risk 1/2 unit

I feel the Pats win the first half and the Panthers may be able to get a push or possibly win one quarter. I am not willing to lay 3.5 on the Pats first half. If you didn't want to go this route I would recommend playing the Pats - .5 -105 in the 1st qtr and or play ML Pats - 200 in the first half.
I feel the Pats win the game. The odds on this bet are better in the first half as the ML for the Pats is lower in the first half than the game, and the comeback on the quarters is better on Car. in qtrs 1 and 2. Also I feel the Panthers will be a little shacky to start the game then they will be at the end. If the Pats dominate it will be stronger at the start of the game. Good luck all.

Thanks Joey. Best of luck to you too. I think these lines in respect with my thoughts on the game are the best options available.

MFG:

As usual, very well thought out plays from you. Know you will be looking closely at the second half as well. Good luck with your plays on Sunday.

Thanks Ted, I can definitly see your Panthers coming in the back door or staying inside the 7 all day long. The Patriots have not increased their leads in the latter part of games in the playoffs. I'll be ready for a 2nd half play if conditions are present. Good luck to you.

MFG and Hansen, I am the same. I think if this game was in the regular season nobody would play it.

Hansen - Thanks. I feel the Pats win the game and lead from the start. Hence, play number one. Play number 2, I have no downside as long as the Pats win the first half. I'm just hoping they do it in big fashion in one of the first two quarters and possibly lose or push the other quarter. That would be my maximum gain. If the Pats win the half and Car wins one of the quarters I could win 1.7 units with bet number 2. I think it is a distinct possibility too.
I don't see the Pats losing here, but I won't lay 7 points on them. If I had to say I would predict the Pats up by 7 at halftime and win the game by 7-10. Something like 24-17.

Winbet - If there were more games to choose from I would be looking the other way. Why can't they give us another Super Bowl like the Ravens - 1 vs the Giants. That was a nice one.

Good luck to both of you, hopefully we all make a little money.

Have some balls man, bet one side or the other. Hey, how about bet a team straight then tease the other with the total.
For what its worth I'm taking Carolina. Win or lose its all just a gamble. Don't you just love it.

Oren: What's up man. Pats 1st qtr is the lean and what I mentioned I'd take as one of the plays if I didn't take these. Bet number one is telling you I like the Pats from the kickoff. I don't see Carolina ever leading in this game. But, I like the way I have the bets positioned better than what I said the alternatives where: Pats 1st qtr and ML 1st half. What the hell are you doing up so early on the west coast anyway? Or are you just now calling it a night?

WC: Don't bark at me like that dawg? My bets are saying Pats. I just don't want to lay 7 or -255 on game ML to get there.

Dante: Good luck, hopefully the Pats get there and we do well with our bets.

Guys this Carolina team has played some horrible QB's in the playoffs. Q.Carter for Dallas was not good, Bulger was a waste case, and McNabb and his receivers were ugly. Yes, Carolina D had somethng to do with this and so did Mike Martz. The Pats had a better regular season and have played much better competition in the playoffs, have been at home, had a bye week after the regular season. This is Carolina's 3rd road game in a row and they have been on the road this time for a week straight. I'll give Carolina their props for being here, but they do not walk away with the Vince Lombardy trouphy imo.

i agree with the ne 1st, but i don't understand the car ml 1st, & 2nd? other than a possible hedge.

i do think the panther d will get burned early --combination of nerves, and youth. i think troy brown will come up big early. manning is a awesome talent, but his OVER-pursuit could get him in trouble against a cagey vet. i am having a hard time figuring out what happens when/if the panthers settle down; the two week preparation is hard to read. i think perhaps, the best opportunity in this game might be in the 2nd half when we've had an opportunity to evaluate some of these intangibles.

Hansen - Yes the Carolina in each qtr is a hedge to a large extent for sure. I generally don't like to post more than one unit per outcome, or multiple plays that basically rely on the same outcome. So, I'm posting what I think are the best ways to get to the end result with a lesser amount of risk.
There is also 2nd qtr bets available intragame at Pinn. and Olympic if we need to go another route after the 1st qtr. Best of luck to you. When will you be posting your play?

Oren--I figured as much that you were out on the town or the ladies that night. Probably seducing the chicks with your rhymes. I could for sure see the Pats 1st qtr. Under for the game could be seen, but I'm not much of a totals man unless it's at the half. Good luck.

You got it Oren. Hopefully the rhymes will be flowing all the way to the bank tomorrow.

There is a good chance I'll have a halftime pick. We will see what happens in the first half and see if there's anything there.
