NFL 2005 playoffs - Week1 Best Bet

You're gonna waste time watching some "No Freaking Chance" game? Gonna skip this game and watch Brees kick Pennington's ass.
 
A question,

Sea -3.5 vs Stl
Stl +3.5 @ Sea

what are the difference between the 2 options? Anyone care to explain.
 
what the hell i dont understand this gambling/bookie language

anyone care to explain what the crap all the numbers mean?

paddington... you mean... the bear?
 
the abbreviation is the team name.

the positive number means that the team must win by that many points.

the negative number means that the team must win or lose by less than that many points.

over/under number is the total combined score of the two teams at the end of the game. Usually reflects the strength of offense/defense.

I'm thinking so too. Both GB/Minny games were 34-31 with GB winning both this year.

I'm not so sure it's a good bet. It's pretty doggone cold in wisconsin right now. Which tends to reduce offensive potency. That is why I didn't vote for it, although I'd still consider it a "good" bet.

My runner up would be NJ/SD under 43.5 (I voted for Ind - 10)

You're incorrect. Negative number means the team must win by that many points. Ex:

Sea vs Stl -3.5 means Seattle has to win by more than 3 points.

Stl vs Sea +3.5 means St Loius has to win, or lose by 3 points or less.

well i was explaining it by the way theninja posted it in the poll. But yes, what you posted is also correct. I think we're saying the same thing but in different ways.

i.e.:
Stl vs Sea +3.5 means St Loius has to win, or lose by 3 points or less

can also be read as:

Seatle must win by 3.5 points or more.
 
I'll break it down easy:

Sea -3.5 vs STL - If you bet on Sea, they must win by more than 3.5 points. If you bet on Stl they must either win, or lose by less than 3.5 points.

Stl +3.5 vs Sea is the same principle - If you bet on Stl they must either win, or lose by less than 3.5 points. If you bet on Sea, they must win by more than 3.5 points.

GB/Min OVER 50 - Wells that pretty self explanatory - If you bet the OVER, then they must combine for more than 50 points - If it's exactly 50 points it is considered a PUSH and nobody wins or loses

GB/Min UNDER 50 - If you bet the UNDER, they must combine for less than 50 points. 50 is a push again.

Neither team has a defense.....at all though
 
My gut tells me Chargers -7 in a blowout but I don't really trust the Chargers enough. Pennington may be hurt and I don't know if they can stop Brees or Tomlinson.
I've not seen enough of the Chargers so I may pass on this.

I will go with old reliable. Packs -6 at Lambeau Field
I do feel that the Packers should beat the Vikings. Vikings looked pretty bad against Washington last week and Moss is an idiot for walking off the field and causing a distraction for the better part of last week.
Farve definitely wants this one. I have a good feeling about this game.
