NFL playoffs

[FairWarning]

they figure nobody can stop the ugly quarterback running?

I'll be the sucker and hammer Atlanta. Just so I can get excited if they hammer him.

Including playoffs, the Falcons have allowed 8.9 yards per rush to quarterbacks this season, worst in the NFL.

Falcons shut down RGIII. They know how to stop running QB's. Mike Nolan is a genius. He also drafted the majority of SF defense so he knows their strengths and weaknesses and how to find seams in their defense.

They didn't stop Cam Newton, should have lost twice to Carolina. They will have a better plan to stop Kapernick than GB did.

Can you give us a definition of "should have lost"?

Should the Giants have lost to Patriots in 2008 Superbowl because Manning came from behind and score the winning TD?

The 49ers D is really good. They gave up 43 to Seattle and 31 to Green Bay.

Sure, might as well include points allowed that had nothing to do with the defense and ignore the big picture.

Saulty working hard to convince himself of stuff.

Durito is looking at us and laughing arguing who is the better team.

So far, all I have bet on is the over in ATL; I think NE will be over as well, but I will wait to see the weather report before I bet it.

 

[Saulty]

If Atlanta loses is definitely going to be an over. They will score at least 24 points.

I think they said Kaepernick can run a 4.43 - 40; kinda hard to stop that play action.... I figure its gonna be a shootout, last score wins type of game.

 

[Saulty]

The 4.43 is without pads and on running track turf with spike shoes. Lets see how fast he runs between tackles after he gets hit a couple times.

 

[mrquincy]

Baltimore Ravens +9.5 -117 +346 Over 51 -105
New England Patriots -9.5 +108 -400 Under 51 -105

San Francisco 49ers -3.5 -101 -182 Over 48.5 -102
Atlanta Falcons +3.5 -107 +164 Under 48.5 -108

Baltimore/New England is now -8 for NE from -9.5;

San Fran/Atl over/under is down from 48.5 to 48;

Yeah I got no wagers. I am cheering for San Fran in a fannish way. Don't know exactly how that has come about.

But that's all I got.

Ehhh, maybe I'll come up with an air wager on the AFC game on gameday.

Best to see what the weather brings for the AFC game..... I guess we will have to watch NHL on Saturday, since there is no football. I still am not sure bout either game.

The AFC game is tough to call. Gronkoswi is out. Flacco seems to be playing well...Brady is a champ. But I think Balt may have the edge in the running game. I may take Baltimore +8, but Baltimore may have blown their load last week... Then there's the weather.

I saw the Carolina -Atl game in Atl. They won because Newton fumbled a snap, forcing them to punt at the end. He don't fumble, they run out the clock. Instead, Atlanta got the ball and won on the last 1-2 plays.

 

[FairWarning]

I don't need a pinny lean to determine Atl will get their ass kicked Sunday, especially at SF -2.5.

 

[Saulty]

I saw the Washington/Atlanta and Philadelphia/Atlanta game. The Falcons shut down complete RGII and Vick who are more mobile than Newton.

4.43 is slightly quicker then the low end average for LBs in NFL
SS, CBs , FS averages are 4.4 to 4.6
