im pullin for the upsets (ravens and cardinals)..............kind of a weak Final 4 IMO...........guaranteed to have a shitty Nielson ratings
Pennsylvania will probably get their eagles/steelers SB though!!
At least there's no Manning brothers to have to deal with
The Bal/Pit game should be a classic. Ratings will be fine IMO. I was on Balty +6, but am swaying the other way. The Ravens are really banged up, and have not had a bye since week 2. I think that will catch up with them. Don't believe the hype about a team trying to beat the same team 3x in one season. The team that won BOTH meetings won the third match up 11 of the 18 times it has happened for a winning rate of 61.11%.
In recent history Pittsburgh is 2-0 in third game of same season meetings when they had won the first two then faced them in the playoffs. In both cases, the team the Steelers beat a 3rd time in the same season were the Cleveland Browns who in turn spun off the Raven franchaise.
I know this isn't a gambling site, and i apologize if this isn't allowed, but I am playing these games today, and am up on the season pretty big (for me at least).
So if anyone's interested, I am playing:
150 ARI +4
50 PARLAY ARI+4/PIT-6
100 TEASE ARI+14/BAL+16/PIT+4
50 TEASE PIT+4/ARI+14/OVER 24 (PIT/BAL)
50 TEASE BAL+16/ARI+14/UNDER 57 (PHI/ARI)
Teasers are sucker bets, and I typically only do them in the playoffs.
Anyway, GL to all the bettors today, and again, sorry if this is unacceptable.
