A let down spot for NE after crushing Pittsburg {in Steeltown}, Indy, the Lions {45-24}, NYJ {by 40+ pts}, the Bears {by 29 in the Windy city, a team GB was lucky to go 2-1 against & never beat by more than 7}. GB would have lost @ the Steelers.
Yet NE still won, even though they probably didn't even need to, having beaten Pitt and Balt,
they took the AFC by 2+ games.
I don't think many here will agree with you that the 18-0 Pats were an inferior team
to the NYG.
That's like saying the Browns were a better team this year because they beat NE.
Of course judging who is better after the game as a gambler is useless, unless
you have a time machine that can take you back before the fact later.
Before the playoffs the Pats were a runaway huge fav over the rest of the league.
I doubt many, including you, were saying the Pack was best then.
Not sure why your comparing games that happened in the regular season. last I checked playoff games are where the money and glory is. GB and the Giants passed that test, NE didn't. I doubt if even Brady is celebrating NE's earlier rout of the Jets. Who is listening to that ? Jets beat NE 2 out of 3 so you need to get off that anyway ! BTW GB shut out NY in NY
thanks bud...
I surely didnt mean these guys arent sharp.. and that they dont win.. they obviously do...
i just meant that of course someone would make a thread with "Hey i got a 150 to 1 future still alive in superbowl" but they would never make a "I got a 2 to 1 favorite still alive in playoffs" or a "all my futures lost this year thread".... it was the only point I was trying to make.. if they are exceptional at picking futures.. great.. but let us know what they are when they buy them (all ten or 12 teams they bet) not pick one out of the lot and say I got so and so at 150 to 1.. because they may have lost 8-10 others which ate up half that profit..
in any case I know these guys are good at it.. i just wanted to point out the threads are only started by "most" posters who have "HIT" a long shot.. not "MISSED" one

Kermit and myself aren't posting in the picks threads. So we don't need to post every future we make. I'm not doing that for several reasons. We are not tracking these plays either. . Its pretty obvious we don't pick just 1 team out of a hat and hope and pray that team gets thru for a payoff. Of course we miss a lot of long shots, thats part of the hedging process along with a few other tools. Also don't think I have ever played a 2/1 team in futures, no value in that. I would played it sooner then that or been hedging long before that.
Packers were clearly the best team. Not down by more than touchdown all year. 4 points their biggest lost. If Rodgers doesn't get hurt they 100 percent beat the Lions and the Pats. Did you people watch the Pack-Pats game? There's not a QB I trust more with the ball than Rodgers. He makes things happen.
