    anyone else love betting on football but hate paying juice to the sportsbooks? i think i'd be fun to match up with someone and see what lines (spread and o/u) we disagree on throughout the playoffs, then put something like 500-1k on each. since few people know me in OT, i'd be fine shipping someone reputable a few k ahead of time to prove that it isn't a scam or anything.

    fwiw, here's what i'm looking at this weekend:

    sea -3.5, was/sea O 40.5
    jax -2.5, jax/pit U 39.5
    TB -3, nyg/tb U 39.5
    sd -9.5, ten/sd U 40

    I'd do it if you liked the Redskins and Giants, but you're not stupid. I do like the Steelers but my preseason pick of them to win the Superbowl makes me too biased to bet a lot of money on them, and I'm pretty indifferent on the Chargers/Titans line. Maybe next week. By the way, you can get 1/2 point better on all 4 of those lines.

    i wasn't really looking for the best lines, just picked a random book for the time being. i figure if anyone's interested, we can agree on a book and check the lines each thursday or w/e.

    I'm blown away by everyone picking the Redskins.

    I don't get it. Seahawks are 7-1 at home this year, and Todd Collins has to start his first ever playoff game on the road in Seattle. Seattle is a passing team going against a team without Sean Taylor.

    So everyone picks the Redskins. I don't understand.

    Oh well, we'll let our actions do the talking on Saturday.

    I'm biased, but I'm logical. It's not like I think the Seahawks are going to go into Green Bay and win like Redskins fans and a ton of the country seems to think that they can just come into Seattle riding Todd Collins against a defense that has 4 of the 11 starters in the Pro Bowl and win.

    I'm unbiased and the Seahawks are going to beat the crap out of the Redskins.

    Meh, I think I have to agree with Mariner.

    In Seattle without Sean Taylor, it'll be really tough for the Redskins to pull this game off.
