NFL PROP BET OF THE YEAR

[whormoan]

Longest Made FG UNDER 43.5 yards (Patriots/Titans) -110 (Intertops)

Based on the weather, slippery new field, and the fact that this will be a tight field position game, teams will be reluctant to attempt, let alone make a 44+ yard FG. Gary Anderson certainly won't be able to kick the rock hard ball this far, and Fisher will not use Hentrich for long kicks unless it's the end of the half. Vinatierri, although good in the cold, is in a slump. Field position battle = no long FG's

keep in mind there are forecasting 15-20 mph wind going over the shoulder.

 

[whormoan]

There may very well be wind, but the balls will be so rock hard that a 44+ yard FG would be equivalent to a 55 yard FG on a normal day. Remeber, the teams have to use special "brand new" kicking balls on all placekicks.

The line at my book now (2:30PM) is 40.5. That would be a field goal kicked from the 23-25 yard line. I was going to bet your prop, but this line is too low.

sounds good.. here's the current weather report:

7 mph winds so far, 13 degrees.

I like that mainly because that yardage would put the BALL at the 27, and I see anything over 30 as far as ball placement would be a 4th and 2 "Go for situation" So really you are betting on this prop that their is never a 4th and longer than 2 from the 27, 28, or 29 yardline. I wish I could parlay this.

I CALLED THAT ONE.......4TH AND LONGER THAN 2 FROM THE 29, AND THEY KICKED IT, AND HE MADE IT....man

UNDER 43.5 yards up to -125 at Intertops. Liking my chances

 

[whormoan]

So far, so good!

YOU GOT LUCKY THAT LAST ONE. IT WAS FOR 44 YARDS HAD THE DISTANCES BUT PUSHED TO THE LEFT. DAM I DONT ENVY YOU AT ALL, I THINK THEY WILL BE SOME MORE ATTEMPTS IN THIS RANGE. BUT GL TO YOU WINNNING THIS PROP BET. ALOHA CC.

 

[whormoan]

Thanks Co-Cap. The chance of these kickers making a 44+ yarder in these conditions is SO slim. But you're right, I wasn't happy they even lined up for it. You saw the Titans take a delay of game, bypassing a 45 yarder, so I'm not worried about them.

sorry buddy...next time
