That basically boils down to the Patriots are favored by 9 points and the Niners by 3. A negative number means thats the team that is favored.

Yeah I prefer a Pats 49ers match up anything but Eli...uugghh.
I have been a Pats fan (I grew up in NH) since I watched my first football game on a black and white TV sitting on my Fathers lap (whew showing my age). I stuck with them all through the times they stunk. Through Plunkett, Eason, Grogan, Flutie, Bledsoe and Brady. Of course a few QBs that should be forgotten like Matt Cavanaugh, Hugh Millen and Marc Wilson. I still have a Super Bowl XX brass key chain I use daily from Jan 26, 1986. Granted its a bit beat up from opening beer bottles back in the day! I feel after all those years of sticking with them I deserve a few good years Go Pats! Quote:

Ohhhh ok, I got it. So, I think the Pats will make mince meant out of the Ravens so I am good there. My windfall comes betting on the Giants. But, do I dare? |

Well the thing is...to get a little more in depth.. IF you think they game between the Ravens and Patriots will be closer then 9 points apart you would bet on the Ravens. For example if the end score was Pats 37 Ravens 33 and you bet on the Ravens you would win. Thats IF you are betting the line not just a straight win/lose bet. The point spread can change daily sometimes many times daily depending on a lot of factors. Like lets say Ray Rice of the Ravens gets hurt in practice this week and cant play, then the Patriots -9 would increase to lets say -14 or something. I wish I lived in Vegas heck you can bet on who wins the coin toss or whos scores the first points...just all kinds of fun stuff thats if you like the gamble.

I’m scratching my head, trying to figure out what the hype surrounding Tim Tebow is all about. Is it because he’s religious and prays?
Check out the following stats: Tim Tebow stats: quarterback rating 72.9, total passing yards 2011 season: 1729. They say he is a duel threat. He rushed for a total of 660 this season. So, total yardage is 2389. 47% Completion rating. His worst completion rating was 27%.He had a quarterback rating of 20 against KC. With these stats he is the great American hope? He’s been in the pros for a couple of years and he’s 24. Let’s compare him with one of his peers: Most people don’t even know Mathew Stafford by name. He’s Detroit’s QB. His QB rating is 97.2, total passing yards for the 2011 season: 5038 (twice as much as Tebow), 63.5% completion rating. His worst completion rating was 59%. High QB rating of 137. He’s been in the pros for 3 years and he’s only 23. Right now, a year younger than Tebow with the same amount of experience, his stats are comparable with great quarterbacks like Brady or Rogers. So, I’m skeptical when people talk about how great he’s going to be in a few years. Even if Denver designs a college type offense, the guy is not great at passing the ball. I can understand if Tebow had the passing talents of a Stafford and the rushing talents of Michael Vick or Vince Young but he doesn’t. Maybe they think he has a direct line to God. *Being sarcastic*

Well yes Stafford had a great year and I agree with your point. But people seem to forget about Cam Newton too. He broke some records this year including Steve Grogans record for most rushing TDs by a QB in a season which was 12 and stood for 35 years. Its funny Cam Newton didnt even know who Steve Grogan was when asked! lol I remember watching Grogan when I was younger..I DO know who he is

btw, that's what happened in the 2010 playoff game between Baltimore and New England. Brady was sacked twice with one resulting in a fumble and threw 3 interceptions. The wildcard Ravens beat the odds favored Patriots 33-14. I think that was the Patriots first playoff loss in Gillette Stadium. 2 years later...same stadium, same teams, same head coaches, same quarterbacks. I realize that this doesn't mean the same outcome but it does give me comfort knowing we weren't expected to win back then but did. Here's to hoping for an injury free game on Sunday. GO RAVENS!!! |

I think the odds are a little better for Baltimore now I think the Pats would have to win by 7.5 instead of 9, which would mean by a touchdown and a field goal or a safety. And I think it's going to be a close game. So maybe if you have the stomach for it, you could put some money on Baltimore. I could never do it. I never have done it. Could never bet against the Pats. Even though my father always told me don't bet with your heart, when it comes to money only your family matters. Good advice. Although I always figured better advice is don't bet what you aren't prepared to lose But that's just me. And I'm a chicken shit when it comes to gambling.

The thing is we had some pretty okay quarterbacks but never had a whole team before 2001. Plunket did fine with Oakland, 2 superbowl rings. And Bledsoe, well, I am not a hater, I think he had a great arm, but his heart was two sizes too small.

But I sincerely hope not. Still I think it's going to be a great game either way. And if it came to it, I would rather lose to Baltimore and its great defense than to the Giants in the Super Bowl. I would rather lose to the 49ers as well. But that's just a personal preference. Hopefully the Pats will not lose. And my favorite thing of all would be to to have the Pats give the Giants a good beat down for the Super Bowl win.

I can't say what the hell is going to happen after the upsets last weekend! I'm so disappointed in the Saints and Packers; Saints just made to many mistakes; Not really sure what happened in Green Bay.
Anyway, I think I'd like to see Baltimore and San Francisco battle it out in the Superbowl. In that race, I'd have to pick Baltimore. Baltimore hasn't been to the Superbowl since 2001, and the 49ers haven't been since 1995; Two teams pretty hungry for it. Of the two, I'd pick Baltimore. But with the way the playoffs have gone, who KNOWS what will happen! Glynn |
