*****GAME OF THE CENTURY*****.... Seahawks vs Saints

its at seattle.. outdoors.. cold and wet.. and saints are hurting in the backfield..

if this game was in New Orleans Dome, i'd be all over Saints -10.5

but since its in a hostile environment, i'll take the 10+ points and say ' thank u very much'..

Go seahawks !

Your Bengals were also able to stay competitive and cover the spread in five of the games that they lost, unlike the quitting Seachickens. 

Actually, Vegas has whipped out the Reverse Trap, where they get enough Joe Publics leaning the wrong way thinking that the squares are laying it when in fact the squares are the ones suckered into taking the big number.  Oh, that tricky, tricky Las Vegas!

The public was excited about the prospect of betting on the Saints against the Seahawks........but then the line came out, and that excitement was mostly dashed.  The betting public (myself included) was uniformly taken aback by this large-looking line.  We've never seen such a huge line for a road team in NFL playoff history.  As a result, your 70-80% consensus guess is way off, TicTac Bucinski.  From what I'm reading, less than half of the people that are taking sides here are willing to lay 10 or 10.5 points.  Lots of people like the Saints, yes, but many of them are scared of the pointspread and are instead looking to tease this line down to something they can live with. 

Read what you wrote again, TicTac, and see how assbackwards and nonsensical you sound.  We've got a 12-4 team playing a pathetic 7-9 team that lost all 9 of its games by more than two touchdowns, and you think the oddsmakers set out to trick people into betting on the 12-4 team?  Do you see how stupid that sounds?  The oddsmakers' task was to SLOW PEOPLE DOWN from betting on the 12-4 defending Super Bowl champions and get some action on the unworthy 7-9 piece of shit.  And they've done their job, making this line the biggest road favorite line we've ever seen in the playoffs BY FAR, and thus getting enough people to back down on laying the 10.5 and also getting enough people to bite on the +10.5. 

Bator love your input on games and you are the #1 guy I look for when I go on this site. But I must say that I'm puzzled on how confident you are with laying 11 points to a road team that plays in a dome and now has to go into one of the toughest places to play in the NFL (regardless on how bad they are). And with the Saints missing there top 2 RB and if they need a tough 1-2 yards on 3rd dowon with the likes of Julius Jones and Reggie Bush? We all know Reggie is not a 15-20 carry guy and Julius Jones is well, Julius Jones? Reggie in this weather is good for at least 1 fumble in his game with the expected weather. Also are you worried about Colston coming off surgery and Jimmy Graham not 100%?

BTW Saints were 11-5 this year

there is no baiting..

there are no trap plays..

if the line looks fishy, its prob because u havent done ur homework thoroughly..

vegas does its best to even out the dollar amounts for both sides.

perhaps, from time to time, they call a ref with an offer he can't refuse, if the money is all on one side..

but no baiting or traps..

BTW the topic title is just a way of busting everyone that always has this kind of heading and obviously this is not a game of the century. But I'am very, very confident in the Hawks this Saturday

I'm not completely in love with the play but I'm sure not interested in the Seahawks.  If this line were -11, I'd be even less enthused, but now it's widely available at -10, and I'd be willing to lay that and not even be nervous about it.

Bastard, ya got me on the 11-5.  

That logans this is bogus, dont go by that

Yes, it is, and it's bound to grow even more confusing on Sunday night when Vegas unveils their new "Hit You in the Back Just When You Think You Got Us Sacked Trap" in anticipation of the Patriots first playoff game next weekend.  I got the lowdown on this one already but I'm supposed to keep quiet about it.  I guess I shouldn't have mentioned it at all.  My bad.

and sometimes the best bet made is the one that is not made.

But, one question---I have a hard time believing that you advocate laying the 101/2??

appreciate your comments.

thanks

you are a fraud!  leading these sheep off to slaughter..............Seahawks ML and +10.5

DO TELL!!

Bator, you're a shameless tease.
