I'm thinking this one will be a good game, but if the Giants keep up the momentum they have and their defense continues putting pressure the way they have the last few weeks, I think they'll clip the Packers and get the upset...

What do you guys think?

dude...you are talking about Aaron Rogers here..dude is a savant when it comes to being a quarterback. I live in NY and I can't stand the Giants. The packers are the best team in the NFL, they are going to crush the Giants.

Love the Giants, and they're playing really good football right now.

But I can't forget that the Packers were an absolute juggernaut this year.

I can see all scenarios: Giants keeping it close, Giants getting down 21 within a quarter.

So I'm going to stop thinking about it and just watch.

Hey I think Aaron Rogers is a beast. Giants lost by 3 last time because Aaron Rogers had a minute left on the clock. They definitely are capable of rattling off a solid win against the GMen here, but I think the Giants may surprise a few people here. Eli has been the underdog in Lambo Field before. If you live in NY though and you hate the Giants, that makes me assume you are a Jets fan. I hope that's not the case because if it is then I feel sorry for you and that a disgrace of a football franchise (or better yet, NY JV team) known as the New York Jets.

It's back to +9. I'm going heavy on this one.

It's either gonna be a happy day. Or very, very sad. lol

Seems like a trap line.

well, as noted last week, there was no story line for the saints, so look what happen to the high powered team that was suppose to win the superbowl. yeah, have to love the nfl.

tebow couldn't keep it within a touchdown in the 4th qtr, so the nfl refs could do their magic.

no one gives a fuck about the texans and ravens, nor does the nfl.

what's the storyline in green bay? rodgers for the repeat or eli doing it for peyton? i dont watch pre-game or the game so let me know?

Seems like a trap line.

To me, the most puzzling thing was that the 49ers-Saints line never moved all week. I expected a lot of late money to come in on SF, but it never happened. SF +3.5 was a lock for me, as that game was most likely to be decided by a FG.

I think NY-GB will also be a 1-possession game, so getting 9 points in this one almost seems like stealing. We'll see what tune I'm singing tonite.

When I used to bet, lines that looked like stealing did so on purpose.

The Giants have been playing their best ball of the year, pash rush looks insane, and they just dismantled Atlanta. 9 does look like a steal, probably by design. The vegas line is what is giving me the most trouble as a Giants fans - the fact that the guys who make their living off this think GB will destroy them.

I hope you're right.

You're definitely seeing what I'm seeing. They aren't always right on these, but when they are...it hurts those of us who refused to believe. lol The opening line was -9, but moved to -7.5 (and as low as -7 in a few places), but then got back to -9 first thing this morning. That was a 1.5-point move since Friday. Now I'm showing -7.5 again, which has me thinking the wiseguys are going with the Giants and are loading millions on that side.

Opening line for the AFC title game is Patriots by 7. Based on the way both teams played this weekend, that's about right. But I'm not betting shit until we get a definitive word on Ed Reed. He got really lucky that no one landed on his leg when he was coming down, but that still didn't look good.

Live betting on the early game offered Ravens +17 at one point, but before I could get in on it, it was down to +14, so I laid off. Dang.

announcers seem to be talking up eli when i took a quick look. ny for the upset. did eli say he was dedicating the game to peyton? that's a good story line.

The Niners could be another story, successful francise with a first year coach, a qb that was considered a bust. On top of that a team nobody thought would make it thru the 1st round coming from last years 6-10 record. A team with a lot of history back to the playoffs after 10 years...

They could make a niners vs ravens, battle of the brothers and a rematch win for the niners!!!
