An old lady in front of me in the checkout line at the supermarket mentioned that trend to me two days ago. Totally out of the blue. She must have been 90 years old. That's when I knew the trend didn't mean squat.

That's an exaggeration typical of Bears backers this week who seem to want to convince themselves that they're on the right side because a world full of lemmings is on the other side. But it's just not so. There are plenty of people interested in this home dog. The evil oddsmakers put out a line to ensnare more than enough gamblers on the Chicago side, and it has.

GO BEARS!!
Never mind the money or the rivalry.......when has there ever been a road favorite in an AFC or NFC title game? Does anyone know when this last happened?

Good point MR Bator. I just have seen this situation way to many times this year and I think it bodes well for this game as well. I watched replays of both match ups with these 2 teams this year and I think the points at home is the play. I know the Bears got lucky in the first game with Penalties and the JJones turnover but even with out that turnover I still think Bears would have covered that game. May not have won but least push or cover depending where u got the number at. I had Chi town in that game and won ATS and on ML.

(hey, what happened to the fat boy in your avatar that "fucks on the first date")
Yep...I was at the game! Great game, VERY entertaining!
Anyhow, and the home dog there (the Cardinals) won the game straight up and went on to play the Steelers in the Super Bowl. Deja vu today???

The two visiting teams in today's championship games have been doing a bang-up job of making the home field advantage look irrelevant in the modern day NFL playoffs. Here's how playoff home teams have done in the last few years:
2010 - 3-5 ATS so far
2009 - 6-4 ATS
2008 - 5-5 ATS
2007 - 3-7 ATS
2006 - 4-6 ATS
2005 - 4-6 ATS
2004 - 5-5 ATS
2003 - 3-7 ATS
That's 33-45 ATS. So much for home field advantage in the playoffs in the 21st century.

If Jay Cutler pulls a Kurt Warner today and completes 21/28 passes for 279 yards, 4 TD, and 0 INT like Warner did in that game then it's time for me to hang em up.

I reposted this because I accidentally quoted badass11 in post #65 when he in fact was quoting Gilberto. Sorry about that, badass11.
