with the giants success on the road, and optimal playing conditions for eli, possible TO health issues--- does anyone else like the giants here at +7.5...?

I'm pretty sure all of this was taken into consideration when the line was set.

I am kinda leaning towards the boys. The Giants just seem tooo logical, kinda BSPish.

Nobody is talking about Seattles defense. I dont think green bay is going to be able to move the ball at all. I like seattle to win outright.

The Cowboys really just are not that good. Tony Romo is EASILY and i mean EASILY the most overrated and starting next year, overpaid quarterback in the NFL. The Giants are really bad too though. I am staying away from either play on this game.

I agree with you here. I really like SEA +9 against the Pack, and I dont really love either side of NYG/DAL.

Re: * Official NFL Playoffs -- NFC Divisional Round (NYG @ DAL, SEA @ GB) *

Random Question:
I have a 5 year running bet with a friend and essentially if the Cowboys make it to the Superbowl I owe him $1K, if they win SB I owe another $1200.

Trying to figure out how to offset this somewhat..would this be a bad idea
2 team Teaser Cowboys -1 and Packers -1 1/2 bet $150 to win $125
2 team Teaser Cowboys -1 and Seahawks +14 1/2 bet $120 to win $100

I think the Cowboys are going to play a close game but probably win cuz Eli will go back to sucking. GB/SEA seems like it will be close but Pack will win on their homefield.
I don't see the Seahawks getting massively blown out.

I just don't know the best way to do this...whatever money I win barring a Dallas upset...I'd bet on the cowboys again the following week. Just would hate to bet $300 on Dallas and they win by 1-6.

Just put money on them to win the NFC and the Superbowl (if you really think they have a chance vs NE). ON a seperate note, does anyone know why the lined in the Dallas game went from 9 to 7.5 overnight?

Dallas to win NFC is at -115 at 5dimes and Dallas to win SB is at +720 at 5dimes, either of those could be nice bets for you. Or just hit the Dallas moneyline and then if they win hit the next dallas moneyline. I would stay away from the teasers.

I didn't think this through but...why bet this week if you want to hedge against Dallas? If they lose problem solved?

If they win then put the appropriate action on next weeks game which should be a closer moneyline.

Yeah I just realized that a Sea/GB line will probably be smaller than 7 1/2...duh.

Just to be safe I'm gonna put $150 on Dallas to win SB though I think they lose to NE. And I'll probably have to put 500 on Dallas next week vs. GB.

Anyone else feel that SEA wins often enough here to justify taking them at +300?

I am leaning towards Seattle +9 but it is heavy juice -125. Am I better off waiting as the line might go down a point or so or place it now and sell off on the spread to get -110.
