What's the Jax play against? TIA

 

[bearmz]

I'd be careful with the KC game. Bears for some reason have played the AFC well even with Wanny and all their poor teams. They may not have won, but have hung in late. This year are 3-0 SU vs Ok, SD, and Den. If NE wins Sat, KC has no reason to win.

[THEGAME9000]

there is no such thing as "no reason to win", or "mailing it in".
these are foolish terms invented by an ignorant, mumbling fool on MNF some 20 years ago named dork deerdump, in trying to make allowances or reasons for his beloved cardinals playing so poorly late in the season.
no one knew this idiots words would have such a profound effect or last this long in the subconcious memories of fans.
show me a team going into the playoffs who has, "no reason to win", and i'll show you a completely inexperienced and soon to be fired coach.

momentum, and fine tuning is what really happens with good teams and experienced coaching staffs.

GAME.

 

[mickj]

Great info Game. Could you give the #s on Jax, Car, & Minn?

 

[THEGAME9000]

carolina and jacksonville are rd favs of 7, and minn's a rd fav of 17.
together these plays have went 0-5-2 ats last 7 opportunities.
if your looking for stats on the games, there isn't really any outstanding.

GAME.

 

[cfbguy]

[THEGAME9000]

#'s system.

 

[CedarCreaker]

GAME...understand yours is a number/points system but based on your write ups..Other than the NE/Buff game ..I really can't figure out who you like...would really like to know the Phil game as it is tonite...thanx

Cedar

 

[bearmz]

Let's see, if I'm Dick Vermeil, I'll leave Green and Holmes in an entire game after both have a history of injuries in a meaningless game to "tune up" after already playing 15 games. Vermeil has had the Chiefs practicing soft for a month now, wearing pads once a week. It makes sense then to fine tune an offense just prior to a playoff run vs an NFL team that is still playing hard for it's coach, albeit a lame duck one. Buffalo's Marv Levy was notorious for sitting starters the last game of season and although he lost 4 SBs, they did make it to 4 SBs with said strategy. If your team is still figuring out what to do at this point, one meaningless game will not solve it. If Vermeil keeps his starters in long in this game, bet the house against them then, because they have major problems.

 

[THEGAME9000]

TAKE KC TO THE BANK!!

GAME.

 

[fosho]

Thanks for your plays...I'm on KC, GB and Balt...Large. GL

TheGame...there's no such thing as "needing to win" or "mailing it in"? That's totally absurd! The final week of the NFL regular season has been a boon for squares and sharps alike for many years, as far more often than not those teams "needing to win" have gotten the best of those that may be "mailing it in". Yesterday's results playing on the teams "needing to win" vs. those out of the hunt...3-0. More to come today. You've generally got great info, but you're off the mark on this statement.

 

[Menses]

I dont know about that ...because it looks like the lions and the texans came to play today...figures...things are never what they seem in the NFL.

 

[THEGAME9000]

SB,
not doing so good so far today?

GAME.

 

[bearmz]

I stand corrected on KC game. I knew KC wanted to tune their rush D and they did. Bears were as bad as can be. Kord's 2 INT and quick hook was typical Jauron BS. If this sad sack is still their coach, why would anyone pay to see them play?
I will never dispute your trends again. Looked very good on earlies.
GL and continued good info.

 

[SaltyBrine]

Game...Rams, Bengals, Colts lose. Titans, Chiefs win. 2-3 with Vikings, Packers pending. Please understand I don't feel that any of these plays are automatic...I still think you have the handicap each game individually. But the need vs. potential don't care factor has to be factored in the last week of the season. Even just blindly playing the apparent obvious side, it's 5-3 overall with two games left. That's not a bad position.

 

[bearmz]

When I look at trends, I try to isolate on HC if possible. 10 yr old TEAM trends are based on personnel no longer around, for the most part. Situational trends are useful in they are more general and apply to all teams. Trends are useful, but just a part of the equation. Now, if someone could predict TO's, that's the golden egg.
GL and hit the book hard.

 

[THEGAME9000]

PARODY IN THE NFL, the more it changes, the more it stays the same.
i hope everyone made a ton this week.
#'s system once again on fire and trends were killers.

CHA-CHING!!

GAME.

 

[THEGAME9000]

one more...fosho...your gold.
