In a sport where games can be determined by one or two plays here or there, any time you can find ANY situation where even 1 or 2 players on your team (an already bad one at that) aren’t focused or don’t have their head in the game, there’s a huge advantage to be had. The Giants offensive line was terrible today, Giants actually fumbled 4 times but the refs bailed them out of what should have been a 2nd Eli Manning fumble. Could 1 offensive lineman, RB, cornerback, linebacker, or safety not have their head 100% into this game due to their season being lost; just losing 3 very emotional games; dejected due to missing the playoffs for the third straight season; or not caring because the game meant nothing to them? It’s definitely a possibility and like I said, it only takes 1 person on your team to be unfocused to hurt your entire team. I saw a huge edge in favor of the Jaguars motivation today and played it, win or lose I would have stood by my pick afterwards because motivation is the biggest intangible affect in sports. Saints were just humiliated losing 3 straight at home after being the best home team in the league for years. They came out very motivated and went to Pittsburgh and whooped them from beginning to end.
Scal, you taking notes?

Very good explanation of how motivation and how a team's focus and drive can affect the game.
Was with you on the Jags but didn't have a good explanation other than the fact that it was a fade the public kind of play, and the fact that there was no line movement in the favor of Giants yet the public was all over them.
I'll admit I thought they were done at half time and still to some extent feel that this was a no play for either sides.
Anyways, Good work this week.
