Well Sabine, it didn't exactly play out how I figured, but I'll take the win.
Congrats to Cleveland backers. That was a WEIRD game last night where both teams found the iron on kickoffs multiple times, both QBs got knicked up (D'Orazio much worse than Philyaw), and in the end, it was the rust on Tony Graziani that cost Philadelphia their undefeated season. Screws over my Preds though... I'm trying to get RID of potential teams to pass us in the postseason race...
Sabine... San Jose has OWNED Orlando since 2001. They get every favorable call and bounce, and haven't lost to the Preds since '01.
However, this is a much different Orlando team than usual. They score a boat load of points nowadays, something they haven't done in many years.
I still think that San Jose is on too much of a roll to drop this game tonight. The 2.5 points seems to tempting to take, but like you said, the Jungle is hell. I was a part of what made the Jungle hell for so many years, but now I need to be on my best behavior covering the games for the media
I lined the game in the low 100s if memory serves me, but the more and more I think about it, the more I think the over is the more "correct" play... but it's merely a guess.
Oh, and holding LA and Utah in check doesn't mean jack shit to me. Everyone has figured out how Utah's offense has worked the past couple years, and LA is relying on a fat tub of goo to lead their team now. The combo of Shane Stafford, TT Tolliver, Chaz Gesner, and Ron Johnson is MUCH better than what you see with any of these other teams in the West.
Good luck.
