Ray,
Why is this such a huge $$$$ play for you?


Thanks in advance!

ray, you still didn't answer the question about the trends that you posted. dallas, minn, buff??

NE-3
ATL+4' (20 mph winds will even the playing field)

I don't recall the Bills losing three championships in a row before the Raiders blowout in the AFC championship. I think the key difference here is the Eagles have lost 3 consecutively, not three total.

one of those years would have been much different if bo jackson doesn't lose a hip vs cinncy. :cursin:

Pittsburgh wins this game outright, New England backers can point to the fact that the Patriots were without RB Corey Dillon when they were beaten in Pittsburgh and that the Patriot defensive secondary was not intact, however, the fact remains that New England was only able to rush for 5 yards against Pittsburgh while the Steelers rushed for 221 yards against New England and no matter how you want to slice it.....that's dominance.

The point is that Pittsburgh beat New England at the point of attack, the Steelers controlled what happened on both sides of the ball with their offensive and defensive line play, meaning that Dillon playing in the rematch won't matter that much because New England was beaten at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball.

The patriots do have a huge edge with Brady under center versus Roethlisberger because of the experience factor but that will be somewhat negated because these teams will meet in Pittsburgh for the AFC Championship game, patriot HC Bill Belichick rates higher than Steeler HC Bill Cowher but in the end it always comes down to players and matchups.

 

[RAYMOND]

Pittsburgh will lose !

 

[JCam]

Pittsburgh is better than new england in virtually every defensive statisical category this season, however, the patriots do out stat the Steelers offensively in terms of total passing and rushing yards 357 to 324 but this is because Pittsburgh is more of a rushing team while the patriots are more of a passing team.

In the end Pittsburgh rates the edge over the patriots because the stats bear out that the Steelers offense should have success against the new england defense while the patriot offense will in all likelyhood struggle against Pittsburghs defense.

My money is on Pittsburgh +3 and I also grabbed Pittsburgh on the Moneyline as well.

Raymond
head to head with you this weekend, But still best of luck.
Just wanted to say something.....To some others that have posted in this thread, not trying to bash, I'm all for adding insightful information but I think Raymond has done his homework and knows what he wants to play. I have read his posts for a while now and respect his thoughts. I understand some of us are on the other side, but why are people making arguments for their opinion in his thread? Just wondering, it's not like he is trying to lose his money. It is his own opinion and he is entitled to it, a lot of people have made good $$ listening to his plays.

Cheers
Irish

Patriots going to the Superbowl

Patriots going to the Superbowl

The Patriots will win the superbowl once again this year. that means that Pittsburgh will be sent home packing due to a rookie qb.
Great defense wins championships and if you have a great offense it always helps.
NEW ENGLAND HAS BOTH.
see ya next year Pitt, great job this season

 

[RAYMOND]

Something you might want to consider: The Eagles' McNabb is the fourth quarterback since 1970 to lead his team to four consecutive conference championship games. Of the three others, all made it to the Super Bowl at least once. They are: Ken Stabler, Jim Kelly and Troy Aikman.

 

[JCam]

Excluding the two Super Bowls the pats have played in and won because those games occurred at a neutral site, we see that four of the pats five remaining playoff wins occurred on the patriots home field, the one playoff game the pats won on the road in a rivals backyard took place in Pittsburgh and won by the patriots 24-17 as 10 point visiting dogs, in that game the pats returned a blocked field goal for a TD and also had a punt return for a TD...thus 14 of the 24 points new england scored in that game were the result of two plays.

Don't be fooled my friend, the pressure is squarely on the pats shoulders in this contest because they are expected to win, Pittsburgh on the other hand is playing to a home crowd and will use the "Doggie Card" to their advantage.

My projected score on this contest has Pittsburgh winning 23-16...

 

[RAYMOND]

trust me pat will win lol don't put your money on pitt , please listen to me adlock:

 

[JCam]

The patriots are a damn good team, there is no denying that fact...goodness knows they've won me more than a few duckies including a nice Moneyline play on them over the lambs in that 2001 Super Bowl, they also won me a "Futures Wager" last season once the playoffs began as I took them to win the Super Bowl because I didn't want to have to lay points to the NFC representative ( whoever it was going to be ).

This season I placed my AFC Chamnpionship and Super Bowl "Futures Wagers" on Pittsburgh prior to week 17 and was fortunate enough to get the Steelers at +180 to win the AFC Chamnpionship and got +335 to win the Super Bowl.

Am I showing a little "Homerism"? Maybe..Maybe not..I know one thing for sure and that is that I have followed this team all season long starting with my attending training camp in Latrobe, Pa and have been to several home games this season including the game they played against the patriots and also traveled to see them play at Cleveland.

Thus I can tell you first hand that Pittsburghs win over the patriots was VERY dominant in nature and it all started in the trenches, you could almost hear the hitting taking place from the stands.

 

[RAYMOND]

good luck dude

 

[RAYMOND]

and the pat will win the super bowl !


you here it here
