it was a gift all right.........a gift from referee Ed Hochuli whose bad calls have now decided the outcome of Three NFL games THIS YEAR ......first it was the insane J Cutler fumble call at the end of the San Diego game three weeks ago.........then last week the mysterious Julius Peppers helmet to helmet hit in the Carolina game where replays clearly showed contact with his shoulder........and tonight the BLATENT misscall where a severe face mask penalty was the cause of a Saints player fumbling the ball........it should have been a fifteen yard penalty against the Vikings and who knows ?.......from there the Saints could have scored and changed the whole game .....I think that Ed Hochuli should do the right thing and resign or at least take his own life for the miserable cunt he has become.........the Saints were robbed in this game by an incompetent or corrupt official
I agree with all of what you said on today's game; and it makes me believe that the NFL is like WWF... all preplanned based on the lines..... We all knew that NO had all the talent in the world to blow em out and the line should have been 7 or so and that it being 3 jumped out and said trap trap trap. Alot of people on this board saw the stats of 60-70% on NO yet no line movement.
And as a reader/poster of this board it is ALMOST ALWAYS that, a trap to suck cash.....
Look at SD's line. That was the same. Look back at the officiating and see if there were any calls that would have changed the deal around. (IMO there was, but it was a day game so we dont notice as much because not EVERYONE and their dog happen to be watching JUST that game..... The SNF and MNF have been just huge money boosts to the books and casinos this year..... And the NCAAF weeknight games have a 14-2 ATS record for the dogs! (And now we have games on Tues. and Wed. to keep the money train rolling)......
I wonder how many "litlle calls' here and there have changed games or at least the spread each sat/sun of every week.
This is why I believe baseball is the best sport to bet on... Least amount of human interference.... and for me the sport I cash in year in and year out. The others, no good for me.... Just memories of going "ARE YOU FUKCING KIDDING ME" or "DID U SEE THAT BAD CALL"?
So, this year, most of my bets are based on what I think the casino's side is and the opposite of the public.
