It was good locker-room material for the Eagles and Ravens.

Get ready to see some confusion, some sacks, maybe a pick or forced fumble, and a lotta frustration for Garrard.
He's been petty solid under pressure this year. Better TD/INT than Brady. It may be difficult to rattle him, especially since he's so mobile.

then you should be able to make a lot of money if you know better.

there is no better widely available pre-game predictor of games than the point spread

Actually the point spread is a gambling mechanism, not a formula to predict the chances of winning, so sorry to say it, but you're wrong on that count.

The Colts are the reigning SB champs until someone dethrones them.

I give them 2 weeks.
I salute your respectful & truthful post PWP! Pretty much sums up the way all Pats fans feel...whether they want to admit it or not.

Very refreshing to see.

if it wasn't an excellent formula for predicting winners and outcomes, then the bookies would be out of business. so, you're wrong

wow all of the spreads seem high. maybe not the giants-cowboys depending if TO plays.

12 seems way too high, this could be another blueprint game, you know where the other teams keeps it close but eventually loses at the end.

I think Brady's TD/INT is better.

Well, if you are a Jags fan, you must, of course, believe in your team. However, reality check - if the Jags play exceptionally well and DG has a couple of runs, the game will be close... However, Brady will beat you in the end. Surely you know that by now...

I hope it is a good game though as I would like to see some real opposition and a good game. I was at the Giants game for the 16-0 finale and it was electric, especially in the 4th quarter...
