Looked for off Topic forum couldnt find. Anyway Im gonna have a bet on this game tonight. Advice appreciated.

Bet it all, I don't care on which team, just bet it all.....

you gotta let it riiiiiiiiiide baby

I know what you mean. I wish they gave the off topic forum
a name that was easier to find.
You know, like Off Topic or something. :roll:

But yea, take the Ravens. lol

I don't like this game for betting at all.

same

if i absolutely HAD to bet it though, i'd take baltimore.

What's the spread?

Don't like either team as well, but bet the house on the over.

Boller is 11-4 at home as a starter,
Baltimore defense has only allowed 6td at home all season

If you really need to gamble, using bodogs odds, take
Adalius Thomas as a horse trailer player of the game at 13/1
or
2 or more tied at 3/2 (thats the best bet)

Take first score of game as FG/safety at even money


I wouldnt touch the actual line on this game, this is a good game for props moreso than the actual game.

Go Ravens, look for the idiots in the upper deck who stay til the end, its tailgaiting time, you have 5minutes for any other Ravens fan advice post it or IM me by 530 and I will try to help

This game is worthless.

You forgot the SW
Sir if you ever bet the over in a game where the Ravens offense is involved you deserve whats coming to you, I mean i know 34 looks easy, but trust me the offense really is that bad. I am in no way endorsing the under, but I plead for you to stay away from the over

My bookie has Ravens -3.5 pts, total at 33.5

I agree this game is ugly, but for the hell of it, I'm betting the Ravens for small$$

Tease the Packers up to 10.5 and the total down to 26.5 and take the Pack and the over.

I would bet.........that Brett Favre is going to throw 4 INT's.

Ravens

holy shitstained balls...this game is ridiculous

41-3 ravens currently

just plain sad to watch.

The points the Ravens have tonight almost equals their season total if you add them up. Brett Favre just looks plain old. I'd hate for him to be remembered as another athlete who stayed too long, versus a guy that was one of the toughest guys to ever play QB.

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Good times for all, this was the team we expected all season but never got in Baltimore.

To top it off, my friend got Deion's gloves after the game, 2 games after this in a HOF career, so its really cool that he got em

took the under, glad kyle boller decided to start being a real QB.......

No dont you dare start talking like that, its a long way from that point right now. I hope we get 2 more games like tonight out of him so that there is a decision to be made in the future

But fortunately for me and america,

Vikings at Ravens, Sunday night, 830,

You guys get to suffer through another ravens national TV game, I get to suffer through another night game

too late...it's been that way with Favre for a couple years now. HANG 'EM UP!!

my pack can not get any lower than being blown out by kyle freakin boller

You know, we were having that conversation today heading into the stadium, at what point does Favre become equal to Cal Ripken. Having been in Baltimore it was painful the last few years to see that he wouldnt go away on his terms and that the game had begun to pass him by, add in the fact that he played several games at less than 100% due to the streak, and it seems as if Favre is going down the same path. An Icon to a City and Team that cannot afford to push him out, but are hoping that they do the right thing for the future before a move must be made.

Favre did great the first 6 games of the year but has since fallen hard, as a die hard packer and favre fan it is sad to see this team and him in this light, I can only hope for some act of god like the chargers got going 12-4 after 4-12

That garbage TD by the Ravens D put me in the Fantasy Bowl in one of my leagues...classic!

Yeah, it is a good question. At least in baseball, Ripken is only one player on the team, while in football, Favre plays the most important positon and, if struggling, hurts the team much worse than Ripken did. That's why I would say Favre is hurting his team more than Ripken did. I mean, Favre doesn't "suck," but come on, Aaron Rodgers should CLEARLY be getting a chance to prove himself and Favre is throwing a TON of INT's....

Also, during the MNF broadcast, they were comparing the two streaks and,of course, Madden said Favre's streak was more impressive for some lame reason like "in football you get hit and can get injured. " How retarded can you get, acting like in baseball there are no injuries...what a douche. Yeah, in football you get hit harder, I fully respect that, but there is a BIG difference between 16 games and 162, and the wear and tear from a full baseball season probably makes up for the high impact hits you take in football.


In conclusion, Favre needs to retire as the great QB that he is, and I hate John "Fatass" Madden.

i'd say both streaks are equally impressive, to be quite honest.

the brutality of the game + the fact that favre is in 60+ more plays than cal ripken was in any given game make up for the difference in number.

but yeah, he really needs to hang em up.

Favre was involded in more plays a game, yeah, (not sure about sixty more a game...maybe a little less), but Ripken played ten times as many games, so I'd say it might even out a bit.

exactly...even out a bit...hence me saying the streaks are equally impressive

alright, I'll chalk that oversight up to it being 2:45 in the morning....

I'd still give Ripken the edge though, baseball is a little more physically taxing than a lot of people (esp. football guys like Madden) give it credit for.

The streak should be over.. There have been a couple games this season that Favre hasn't "played"...

Brett Favre is past his prime, you can just look at his numbers and tell. The problem is that he is such and icon in Green Bay that they will let him start and be an average to below average QB until he retires or gets injured. It's sad.

When does the point come where coaches or mgt have to sit him for the good of the team and to preserve his legacy? I don't think that will happen with Favre.

I had a 6 point lead on my opponent this week going into last night. I was done, he had Sam Gado. Only needed 70 yards to beat me. I've never wished so hard for a guy to get hurt, but somehow my evil scheme worked! He gets 45 yards and a damaged MCL. Absolutely classic!

This week is the league Championship. Thank you Sam Gado. Thank you so damned much!

While Ripken's streak was incredibly impressive, there is no comparison. Favre's streak is more impressive. You can't compare getting blindsided by a 260 lb. linebacker at full speed to diving for a ground ball. It's a matter of conditioning vs. shear toughness. The potential for serious injury is far greater in football (i.e. concussions, broken bones) than it is in baseball.

And Madden never suggested that you couldn't get hurt in baseball. He simply stated that in a game where you're getting sacked (many times violently) 2, 3, 4 times a game, where guys are there just to hit and hurt you, that he could maintain a streak like he has.

Baseball, while physically demanding, is NOT a contact sport. Period.

this is one thing I don't like about Fantasy football, cheering for people to get injured, quite sad actually.

A. Yes, there is a comparison. You CAN compare getting hit hard four times a game for 16 games with ALL the bumps/brusies/soreness/getting HBP, and ALL that, for 162 games. Yeah, football players are physically tougher, sure, but playing TEN times as many games a year makes up for that.

B. Yeah, that is what Madded sounded like he was implying to me. Not that you can't get hurt AT ALL, but that injuries aren't that frequent.

C. Not being a "contact sport" has little to do with it. There is a lot more to it than that.
