WEEK 8 Game thread sponsored by Avante's predictions

[Spur-Addict]

What a ing hatchet wound you are, dropping philosophical ramblings in an attempt to get out of a bet. You're always beating your chest about the Seahawks, yet when money is involved dem nuts shrivel to the size of raisins.

Here's what I got out of that ty, nonsensical post of yours:

"I don't believe the Seahawks can win a playoff game this year." There, just say it and it'll feel better. Do not respond to me again unless you put cash on the table. Your opinions aren't worthy enough and you need to pay for my time.

"You're not a real man, and making rash emotionally based decisions"

[DeadlyDynasty]

Betting on football is an emotional experience for you?

[Spur-Addict]

In this situation, emotion would have to over power logic. When all the aspects of it are out on the table, logic says more than tread lightly. I always Billieve in my teams, no matter what. And I'll tell you that they'll come through when the chips are down. But, (this is obvious in saying) that's not a smart way to bet.

[DeadlyDynasty]

So you're saying logic/common sense dictates the Seahawks won't win a playoff game?

[Spur-Addict]

I'm saying logic says it would be very difficult to attain, the odds aren't favorable that they make the playoffs. They literally have to run a gauntlet. I'm not saying they won't. If they make the playoffs, I think they'll win a game, home or road.

These are the last 7 games of the year (As you already know, and thus proposed the bet LOL):

@K.C
Arizona
@49ers
@.Philadelphia
49ers
@.Arizona
Rams

The Saints are abysmal on the road--particularly on grass, TNF. Carolina will not be that inept on offense (at home) 2 weeks in a row. Look for Benjamin to have 150+ yds and for the Panthers to win outright

Saints should beat the out of this team. Carolina will always be inept on offense because they have a ty o-line, only one good WR and Cam is still their QB. Saints should win by two TDs tonight. If not, its on Brees and Payton. No excuse for losing to this ty ass team.

that comment would persuade me a lot more if you didnt have a huge saints emblem under your username

[Darth_Pelican]

Sooner or later, the Saints are going to take all of that road struggle frustration and just plain demolish someone away from the dome. I think this could be the game that happens. This game is so important in turning the season around and getting back to their goal this season, which was to contend for it all. Even though it goes against all recent logic, it wouldn't surprise me if the Saints win this game big. like 38-13.

I told you the Saints would kick their asses. Panthers suck this season just like we were telling Frizzle. He was in denial.

didn't say it was impossible, but i always take it with a grain of salt when a fan of a team says their team will win

[spurraider21]

I'll give you Raiders +23.5 for $200 ($100 if you're strapped right now). That's 8.5 above the current line w/o any teasing or odds--you'll never get a better deal than that from any bookie in your lifetime.

ill take it for 100, dont work nearly as much during this time of the year

deal

affirmative

Operation Garbage Time is a go

sig/avatar/caption bet, but we go by the spread rather than straight up.

since i'm betting 2 people, if i win, i decide each of your sigs/avatars/captions for 1 week, and if you guys win, i will take 2 weeks of similar punishment, one of you overseeing one week, the other overseeing a second week

I see nothing wrong with this: I'm in!

Deal.

I'm just hoping it's not over 8 points

i'll PM details at some point tonight

[DeadlyDynasty]

what's your pp?

[spurraider21]

pm'ed

I'm here to own up to my penance! Glad we won--but it still looks like we can't hold on to a lead for .
