Hey Pete. Now you are giving my ex opponent hints?
Don't think Sarboy will be thrilled either.  [Post edited 12 Jan 2015 22:40]

Hi Gerry 
Hey, I don't think Sarboy needs help from any of us... His 8-0 kind of reflects that.
One major reason for New England only totaling 14 rushing yards on 13 attempts is they were down 14 to the Ravens and had to play constant catch-up. Tom Brady's passing numbers reflect a QB who was playing from behind, not necessarily because the Patriots will abandon the running game against Indianapolis on Sunday.
More numbers from the previous playoff round, quarterback stats:
(NE) Tom Brady (v Baltimore) -- 33 of 50 passes completed for 367 yards, 3 touchdowns and 1 interception
(IND) Andrew Luck (v Denver) -- 27 of 43, 265 yards, 2 TDs, 2 interceptions
(SEA) Russell Wilson (v Carolina) -- 15 of 22 for 268 yards, 3 TDs, 0 ints
(GB) Aaron Rodgers (v Dallas) -- 24 of 35 for 316 yards, 3 TDs, 0 ints | |

5 of 8 so far believe holders Seattle and New England will be in the title game. Although there is definite disagreement about will either team cover the bet Vegas point spread. The one you actually bet on if you want to make money where your mouth is.
I tried to select, for our PL, true bet challenges. The ones BetFred or whatever will offer you.
I'd like to know if anyone has been confident enough to place dosh on picks. Even if you are not a participant, who here is talking a punt? I am now 6-2 v the 'spread.' That's 4 big winners on my $100 bets 
Just saying | |

New England higher rushing totals, Lead?
The winning team last week:
Patriots 13 attempts for 14, yes, 14 yards.
Colts 28 for 99 yards
Packers 30 for 119
Seahawks 28 for 100
Buyer beware |
But we rushed for heaps when Jonas Gray took apart the Colts a few weeks ago. | |

Indeed, Lead.
Noted that in a post, about why Tom Brady passed for a nice total and the running game was a diminished factor, scroll-up. Pats had to pass the ball to ketchup v the Ravens
Doesn't mean New England will abandon the run against Indianapolis. Unless of course they fall behind the Colts at Foxboro, Massachusetts, and then a running game strategy may become impractical.
...
I see that Packers' Aaron Rodgers is complaining about his injured calf some more, following that win over Dallas,... here a link from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (south of Green Bay, for those who don't know where Milwaukee is -- 90 miles north of Chicago from the other direction, before Sunday's game at holders Seattle.
http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/aaron-rodgers-tired-of-talking-about-aili
"...Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers can rest and treat his injured left calf 24 hours a day between games, but until he's able to take off from football for an extended period of time, he's not going to get significantly better..."
Could this be Packers head games? Rodgers was supposedly not at 100 per cent before the Cowboys game and then passed for over 300 yards with 3 touchdowns and no interceptions. Hmm. [Post edited 14 Jan 2015 19:41]

Yes you have "done it right," James.
But you have 6 of 10 the same as Mick. And he has the first to post tie-breaker, so if you "only" manage 2 of the 4 different from Mfb, he is in the Superb Owl Final. And if it were about the higher pre-quarterfinal seed, he would have that tie-break as well. (but that does not apply now for the NFC and AFC title games)
Feel free to edit or keep faith with your picks. You need a minimum of 3 of 4 correct. (2 of 3 different would be perhaps better, so give it that consideration -- so you are welcome to edit before 20:00...)
...
Thank you all for participating, and that means all the way to the end of The U'sual NFL PL.
Good luck all  [Post edited 18 Jan 2015 17:07]

2) New England to win
3) Packers to win or lose by no more than 6 points -- Vegas bet
4) Colts to win or lose my no more than 7 points -- Vegas bet

6) Colts/Pats less than 54 points total -- Vegas line, 54 exactly, no points
7) Wilson more passing yards than Rodgers
8) Luck more passing yards than Brady
9) Seahawks more rushing yards (total) than Packers
10) Colts more rushing yards than Patriots.
Onward.

Appears to have been an excellent edit so far, RSCO,.. Aaron Rodgers instead of Russell Wilson for most passing yards as we've now reached Halftime.
Although Seahawks' Wilson will have to pass like mad in the 2nd half to help the Hawks catch up. So his numbers may go up considerably...

You predicted Seattle to win, as did Mick... and Packers, regardless, to cover the point spread, which Mfb did not. He had Seattle... Did you put money on that?
Both you and Mfb had the under in the over/ under 47 points so that was wrong, but both of you had Rodgers for the higher passing total. Not sure what that stat is yet.
And the rushing total, will wait to see the official stats. You've done well so far, RS
Indy at Patriots, will that eliminate you? Hang in there. Overall table and all that ... all still to play for fars I can see. [Post edited 18 Jan 2015 23:57]
