    I love the under tonight. SF just can't score TDs and Big Ben can barely walk. Although I really hate watching games when I bet the under....not fun at all.

    yeah, I considered the under as well. def not fun...had the under last monday. was looking good until seattle and stl decided to score 30 points in the 2nd half (including lynch's meaningless td with 3 mins left to put the game over). not good times.

    I love the way this SF team plays. They are coming off of a loss and they are still battling with new orleans for a bye, so they need the game (I know pitt does too). I think SF wins at home.

    I'm just happy that there is finally a decent MNF game. Their schedule has been atrocious this season.

    Yeah, the Monday night schedule has been awful this season. Only a few decent games so far this season.

    Since ABC gave up MNF and NBC took on SNF, the games have switched priorirty...remember when ESPN used to do the Sunday night games you'd get the shit matchups and MNF had the marquee game, now its reversed and MNF gets some lackluster matchups more often than not.

    I went with SF -3 and propped no score in the last 2 minutes of the first half at 2-1 (did it before knowing the Big rapist was starting, but still these aren't the Saints and Packers, so hopefully no successful 2 minute drill).
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Yeah, SNF is the marquee matchup now....I like it better that way. I love watching the Sunday night NBC game.

    I also went w/ SF at -3.

    i went the other way. bought 2 pts and took pitts +5. think its' gonna be close.

    espn got murdered with their latest tv deal that they actually just re-upped. basically the old snf schedule and no playoff games. that part of the espn book was pretty interesting.

    Should be a tight game. If SF wins by 4, we'll both be happy.

    That part of the espn book was crazy. Insane how much money they pay for the NFL....it is also insane how fucking long that book was.

    Dude, you bought two points off a key number??? You gotta be laying close to 200 @ -5. That is crazy if you ask me.

    I like the sunday night game being better becuase their broadcast is a million times better than the shit espn gives u on MNF

    Took the flyers tonight (real small bet)...they just tied it up with 15 seconds left :thumbup:

    Also took SF money line in 2nd half (-110).

    Next hour should be interesting

    I agree...buying from +3 to + 5 is overkill, buy to +3.5 maybe, but thats it.

    for me to buy off of three (either way) it costs me -130 for each half point. so to buy two points would have been more than -200, which is insane. That;s why I played the ML at -150 last night.

    and yeah, what's the difference between getting 4 and 5? same difference most of the time

    I layed 4.5 with FIU.
    Should have the crowd on their side, just seem to be the better team.

    Also took Charleston +17.5 vs Rick Pitino's 15 seconds of shame in hoops.

    I am not going to pretend to know a lot about either team. I know mario cristobal (FIU coach) has been rumored to a few jobs (PSU, miami--assuming golden leaves for PSU). He's done a great job building that program. TY Hilton is an NFL WR. Carroll, the FIU QB, is a miss st transfer who has a decent arm.

    Marshall is young. They start a frosh qb. I know they had a strong finish to their season to get bowl eligibility.

    I was thinking marshall or the over. I don't like the game at all.

    I haven't started with college hoops yet. I like to wait until the conference games start.

    Good luck with whatever you guys go with tonight.

    Laid off that game last night.

    I love the Blackhawks tonight. Really tough loss against the Pens last night....Toews was so pissed that he didn't even talk to the media which is unheard of for him. They're coming out strong tonight.
