Under in London

[AlistairCookie]

Have 2 units on under 45...may add that.

Last year the game was 13-10...rain, gloom, dreary conditions forecast for Sunday (surprise).

Crowd had no idea what they were watching last year, and quiet is not a quiet enough word to describe the noise they made.

Well, they got loud when they Booed NJG for kneeling the clock out at the end.

LOVE this play.

After that horribly boring representation of American football you don't think the NFL might have slipped the word to the Saints and Chargers front offices that the league -- and the league's overseas marketing department -- would appreciate a high-voltage offensive gameplan?

do you know what the weather will be like?

 

[charliepeete]

sorry, which game is in london??????????:nohead:

 

[RJJM94]

Everything else equal... this game has a lot of value on the over. Do you guys really think that it being in London that it will have a major effect on these professional athletes? Last year was a shitty game that stayed under but this year its two offensive teams who are bound to score some points. Unless someone really talks me out of the bet based on the traveling situation.... the over is going to be a big play for me.

 

[FearTheRaven]

Over big time in my opinion.

Put it in Monday at 47, I love this play as well. We shall see.

 

[Voltaire]

I'm on the under as well.

The turf is short and designed for soccer couple that with the rainy conditions in the UK it should end up just under the number.

But we'll see.

[Mr_Mark]

Nothing more dreary than a rainy Sunday in England.

Upgrading this to an icecap.

San Diego 9 hours and two weeks away from home.

I thought I heard they are without the services of Bush and Shockey on the radio, thought that is not what Yahoo says.

 

[$$CH$$]

Bush is not playing and Shockey is probably a GTD

Too many variables in this game to place a bet down on the totla imo. For me it's side or nothing in london. You never know if, like AA said, the league has told these guys they want an exciting, high scoring game and there's bonuses in it for the team if they reach a certain amount, or at least attempt bigger plays. I'm not saying they definitely said anything to the teams, but you never know because last year the game in london was possibly the worst game of football the entire year. They did get unlucky by having Miami in that game, but they also got unlucky here by having an ineffective LT and no Bush in this game.

I do think both these teams have overrated offenses, and would have probably been on the under had it been in the states, but it's hard to cap a game like this. It's always hard taking an under in a NO game anyways because they pass so often and have a horrible defense. They can be contained pretty easily, but all it takes is a couple big plays and an under goes out the window.

I like the Chargers to win here, possibly by a large amount. 30-13 might be the type of game we're looking at, but I also wouldn't be shocked if I saw a 30-28 game.
