R I C K Y & 1600+ YARDS....NEVER EVER SEEN BEFORE FROM A DOLPHINS TEAM....

Ricky has been awesome this year for Miami.
It was just what they needed. Now Fielders passes arnt relied upon to win and Ricky gets 200 yards.

It really makes me wonder what was going on for him in
New Orleans. Because he is not a problem in Miami. Maybe the problems stayed up in New Orleans. Maybe thats why NO is losing games. mental toughness counts in the NFL.

How is Oakland ahead of Miami right now? Didn't we just beat them last week? And shouldn't head-to-head be the first tiebraker if available? If both teams finish with the same record doesn't Miami get the nod, at least, over Oakland? Does anyone know who's right on this?

Letdown Factor and Look Ahead Factor are 2 important 'tools' used in handicapping a football game- It is called SITUATIONAL FACTORS,and alot of Serious 'cappers 'use 25 % of this information to evaluate if a certain team is a PLAY.
Thus, Minny PLUS 3 1/2 is a play for Situational Handicappers,which I happen to find VERY key in evaluating a game.
If you think about it, there is alot of logic to this theory (in my opinion anyway).. Seen it for 25 years and just keeps 'working' year in and year out.
Good luck,but please spend some time looking at what I have been talking about,perhaps you will see exactly how this analysis works into certain games ...Spanky...........

High Roller I saw you are online so I hope we can have some good share of points until we go to sleep. I just came from my sportsbook and made a bet on minne (not a big one just something to make the game interesting while watching in on the morning), I will not argue miami chances they absolutely can win and maybe will win but, Play of the year???? what did you saw on this game in order to make it your best game of the year? Personally when I give a bet to the forum I try not only to give a pick that CAN win but one that can beat the spread at leats by 10 points. My play on minne was based only on what I saw last week versus NO (a Minne team that has nothing to lose, and at home we should expect more of the same) I expect some "stupid calls" from the coach (2 pt conversations, go for it on 4th down, etc etc) and thats why I play Minne. Anyway GL on your play I mean it, I not even bet .5 of my bankroll on the game, so if they can both score over 47 its cool with me.

Im with you on this game but 25 *************************? how can you rate it 25 *'s on a road team?

High Roller take it slow

High Roller take it slow

This is truly one of the most intriguing games of the week. Mia has an awful lot on the line, but their D is not the same on the road, not even close to it. Throw in a fired-up home crowd and a team loaded with talent bent on playing the spoiler role and you have a recipe for a great ballgame. Also- Miami has suffered some prominent injuries the past few weeks and quite honestly, DONT NEED THIS GAME AS BAD AS THEY NEED TO BEAT THE PATS!!! These guys know that and so do the coaches.
I respect your opinion but you seem to bettin with your heart on this one roller.
I gotta disagree but best of luck on you 25 *****

 

[Theboundbook]

I with ya on this one. For 2.5 units.

 

[PaTsJaMM]

I love Minnesota here. Nothing to lose, the spotlight is on them at home, fired up crowd. Lots of talent in Culpepper, Bennett, Moss and have been playing much better ball lately

Miami not the same team away plus it's the last month of the season which always means a Dolphin collapse.

Minnesota 27
Miami 21:violin:

 

[baby johnson]

likw minny to win 24-21..with late fg

 

[shamrock]

high, I'm not sure which dismantling your talking about last week. Oakland was 1 Tim Brown fumble away from winning that game. And don't worry, if Miami gets by Minnesota, they can come up to New England & choke just like last year. LoL

good luck!

I see most everyone is against the Miam Dolphins in Today's game
Even Nolan. I believe that Miami has this one today for specific reasons. Even though I feel the line should be - 3.5, No one has even mentioned turnovers and that is one of the main reasons Miami gets this game, Minnesota cannot hang on to the ball, also when Minnesota decides to go to the air because of there injured line, they will not get passed the Miami pass defense, Both teams are competitors and will stand up in a very defensive game ,but as for Minnesota the Pass defense will not be able to stop Miami Today. So with that said without going into further detail.

Miami -4
Mia/Minn Over 45

[Hooks]

cappy, welcome. After reading your write-up, how you figuring it to go over?
And don't forget, Miami NEEDS this game.The Vikings can play loose.
Things to think about. Good luck today

 

[cappy]

Hooks,
The total in today's game is a tough call with both rush defenses being very strong, Yet when you add in the turnovers that Miami will cause, the lack of a Pass defense on Minnesota and then throw in some #'s such as PF-PA Both teams average out with 47.5 points then figure in Various scores using the PF - PA I have The game going over 3 out of 4 times.

high, I'm glad you cash your ticket, but don't be pushing your luck.

I mean what did you see offensively from Miami, Bradford was in position to knock that touchdown to Chambers away. Lucky for you!!

Good luck to you man. I wish I could afford to have almost 5 dimes on a game. I have a nickel and I am smiling a little right now.
