I believe I'm in the Vikes corner now. with the field conditions you take the points, I'd say.

Slight lean to the over too

Tease Bears -1/o27.5 and cake.

Also, I like Mavs +7 tonight (also hit the moneyline at +250 for shteins and giggles) and love Portland -3.  Buy the hook, don't be a jew.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Ok here's what I've got;

Vikes +7

Vikes +7 & over 34

1st TD = Shiancoe @ 11/1
1st TD = Peterson @ 9/2
1st TD = Olsen @ 10/1
1st TD = Taylor @ 10/1

Vikes +13 & over 28

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Adrian Peterson isn't playing.  Hate the Vikes tonight a lot.

[MDS]

chi +8 o33 (last night)

chi -1 o28

jay cutler scores first td 1/30

HELP ME EVEN UP JESUS

[PhillyPhreak54]

Hmm...well, I wonder if they'll return the cash on the AP 1st TD bet I made?

Come on Vikes.

Need Cutler to be super chin flappy tonight.

[PhillyPhreak54]

They refunded the AP bet

Hit hit hit on that Dallas ML...good call, FF.

[PhillyPhreak54]

That Dallas ML saved the night...Joe Webb...not good.

[MDS]

and im even

thanks for early lean, J. you were, at one point, right.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Yeah I shouldnt have deviated. Oh well.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Portland ran away with it also, giving me a perfect night.

To celebrate, I placed my anti-choke hedge bet: $25 to win $500 on the Giants winning the division

[ice grillin you]

i have a one pt lead in my nfl pick em league going into these last two weeks....$600 bucks at stake

one game i am completely torn on this week is carolina (-14.5) @ pittsburgh

what does everyone think...im leaning carolina but everyone in the world says pittsburgh but i feel like that is the easy obvious pick

[SunMo]

on the road, in the cold, nothing to play for...steelers coming off a loss, need the game.

i think steelers roll

[ice grillin you]

might be better to go steelers cause i cant find anyone in the world that says take carolina....that way at least i wont lose a pt....if i was down by a pick or two maybe a take a chance on a team that can get me one back but  if i can limit the amount of pts the other people can get on me thats a good thing

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Steelers have been sketchy ATS and while it is obvious that they win this game, they have no specific reason to win it by more than 2 touchdowns.  Vegas, however, has the spread that way in hopes that more people will attempt to pick Carolina, and still only 28% are (on sportsbook.com).

I can't recommend anyone take Carolina under any circumstances regardless, but that line stinks like shtein.  Pittsburgh to cover.

[MDS]

im not sure the steelers can generate enough offense to cover a 14 pt spread. and with polamalu out, who makes a play to swing the game on defense?

if carolina just runs the ball with stewart and goodson and doesnt let jimmy clausen do anything, theres a decent chance they can hang around the game and quite possibly cover.
