MNF... Phi @ Dal style
 

Okay sports bettors, time to empty the piggy bank and get to the nearest legal/illegal betting hub for some monday night action. This will be the LAST game of the year that the Eagles will be getting points in the spread. Tonight, on the national stage, the Eagles defense will rise to the occasion and limit TO and the Boys to a few big plays. The line starting at 7, dropping down to 6 and a hook (which could drop to 6 in some outlets), should be a flashing sign that taking the points and running is the smart play here. For division rivals to give a GOOD team, a team that plays better on the road, 6-7 points is outlandish. Lock and load on the Eagles, healthy wideouts or not. Take the 6 and a hook and never look back.

Every year my buddy who's a Giants fan and I make a few prop bets between us. What better year for me to pull the wool over his eyes than this one. He is 40 years old, and weighs at least 10 lbs per year of life. Nik Nik (real name Steve but he calls everyone Nick, so we spun it on him once and it stuck) knows absolutely nothing about life in general and even less about football. He's only a fan because his younger brother is a Gmen fan. Last year he couldnt name 8 Giants without the help of Troy Aikman and Joe Buck. I FORGOT more about sports than he would ever know in 10 lifetimes. This year, he's riding high and brimming with confidence, rightfully so. Perfect time to strike, esp. with the off year that the Birds had last year.

Heres a list of the prop bets (all $25 bets at 10-1 odds):

My bets: Stewart Bradley makes the Pro Bowl
Eagles win the NFC
Mcnabb stays healthy throughout the regular season
Buffalo Bills make playoffs

HIs bets: Eli makes the Pro Bowl and Giants win the NFC. I have to give him additional $500 if they win it all. (No problem)...

Tonight, Stewart Bradley becomes a household name, IMO. People get to witness how fast the Birds defense really is. Here's me, chomping at the bit.....Dylbert, oh Dylbert...I know you'll come out of the woodwork to serve me crow if this game doesnt go the way I have it in my head.

I swear I think you and Scavs are related.

My parents DID go to Swingstock...jk

We're both full of passion when it comes to the gridiron.

Big week for you in fantasy, I see. I am trying to unload a RB to whoever has Grant/Maroney... I need more options at wideout.

What is the line going to be when they visit the meadowlands to play the Giants?

After tonight, Giants +1.5. ;)

Keep drinking the juice my friend!

I will, they upgraded it from kool-aid to Formula 50 Vitamin Water.

I guess we'll know by the first day of December.

Yeah...big day yesterday. Could have been even better as I had Santana Moss on the bench and he outscored the 3 WR's I had starting yesterday COMBINED:eek:

I was hoping the Baltimore game would have gone tonight. Their defense is great to watch.

The entertainment value of watching any two NFC teams play - even the hyped ones - is zero.

Didnt see that, but I knew you were going to have a big week. (I even voted for it):rolleyes:...That all ends when you step to the big dog...:eek:

Housh better get into gear or Im in trouble in both leagues I'm in.

Not even the one that hit your asterisked Pats in the chin last year in the Bowl? They went from hype to the pipe. Randy Moss's cush-cush pipe. At least that's what Nicky 'the rat' Kazcur told the Feds.

Yeah...I sat him at the last minute. Just didn't have alot of faith in Campbell and the new west coast offense. Moss ended up with 46 fantasy points.

I am laughing, seriously.

asterisked for what?

You mean people still think they really needed an edge to beat the Jets in week 1 of last year?

You could take Tom Brady away, add Brett Favre to the Jets, and supposedly have Moss shut down ... and the Jets still would have lost handily I bet.

You need to quit being such a homer. You should have known that Warner was gonna pick apart the Fins yesterday. There is 44 points sitting on your bench:tro: :D

As far as Housh goes...Cincy has ZERO life on offense right now and I wouldn't look for that to change anytime soon.

I was only ribbing ya, as I know that the asterisk stuff is bs. I just dislike Belichick. The Pats still rule the AFC until shown otherwise, its just that the gap isn't as wide now.

I am eager to see though, how Randy will act when he continually torches the secondary and gets underthrown.

Lmao. If I am a homer, so be it. It's ride and die with the Birds this year. Most likely dying in february.

4 of your 8 offense players are Eggles:rolleyes:

It's ok....loyalty is a wonderful thing. Just ask English Channel:tro: :tro:

Good Luck with that. Be happy if you see January!

good one drugs. As much as I hate Tony Romo, both him and McNabb are more entertaining then your Brady-less Pats. (now with Brady thats a dif story)

as entertaining as White Chocolate and Moss running it up in a Wva high school game to bad rap music?

Fly Eagles Fly!!!!!!!!! :tro: :D :tro:

Cant wait for Samuel to SHUT DOWN T.O. tonight. Call the Dallas P.D., T.O may be feeling a bit like Vince Young tomorrow.

wasn't T.O. the originator of that bit a couple of seasons ago?

Yes!

Didnt Jessica Simpson say the ""boys win "" ? In case anyone is in Vegas tonight.

This felt like a trap game. One of those games where the game seesaws on the line until the end and a bad call during the game can send you on tilt. I passed.

gun to head, which way would you have gone with the total?

Over/Under isn't my deal.

Gun to my head 48

Cowboys -6.5

LOL, yes, what an unentertaining game this has been.

I was gonna say.
This has had about everything happen in one half.

Please beat these friggen Cowboys.
Why does Jerry Jones lurk back in the shadows of his kingdom?
Did he get another face transplant?

Hope somebody had the OVER!

i had a 14 point lead in ff with dallas d going up against romo.

my only chance was a 14-10 final score.

yet somehow with the halftime score 30-24 i still have a 1 point lead.

if armageddon comes in the next few minutes i'll go to hell knowing i won the armageddon shortened game.

What's up with the weirdness factor in this one. Romo fumbles an unpressured hand off like it was Jessica's bra strap.....Philly receiver doing his best reincarnation of Andre Lett giving up the ball as he was all by his lonesome about to score....very strange plays. Need an abbacass to keep up here 31-30 in the 3rd

How incredible is Donovan McNabb???

Been watching him play for 12 years now and still can't get enough.

If he pulls this one off Phil he gets many a monkey off his back!!

That was an extremely stupid play call by the Cowboys.

Philly gets another chance you can almost feel like they are running uphill now....2 minute warning. 3rd face mask on westbrooks head.....pain in the moring!!

same ole McNab ...somehow leaves a canker sore in your mouth after tasting sweet all night long

It's like a Fast and the Furious sequel.
