Garrard is great, and Jax showed up like many predicted they would. But that game was not as close as the score. Of course, if Northcutt doesn't drop that TD early in the second half, things might have gotten interesting.

Not necessarily because I believe it is going to happen, but, you know, just because. And I'll take the under with Cliffy if anyone else wants the action. Again, just because.

The over/under on Jags offensive TDs is 2-1/2. I've got the under. Who's putting a Pounder (or more) on the over? Well... "who" aside from Einhorn, that is.

Jakes - Pounder on Seahawks/Packers, Pounder on Giants/Cowboys. Gonzo - I get 3:1 on Seahawks to win outright Tank - Pounder on Pats/Jags, and Colts/Chargers BA - Pounder on Pats/Jags, Seahawks/Packers, and Giants/Cowboys If I've mispoken, be heard before 4pm EST today (Saturday). And one final plea: What odds would it take to get some action on Jacksonville winning outright? Seriously... what would make it worth your while? Is it 3:1, 5:1, 10:1... somebody put a number out there... c'mon... you know you wanna... anything's possible in the NFL, right?

Kind of a busy work week, so I my absense has been non-torpid related..... Honestly, Cliffy, it doesn't seem like you are really convinced the Seahawks are going to actually beat the Packers, much less cover the 8 points....so I have an offer for you...... My pounder bet would be that the Packers beat the Seahawks by more points than the Patriots beat Jacksonville. In reality, you know the Packers are going to win the game, and are really looking for some action... I respect that as a degenerate gambler, but the main issue I have is that I don't want to steal pounders from you on a premise you don't really believe. I know deep down, you fear the Jags somewhat....but obviously you also feel that the Pats are invincable.... so lets have some fun. This way you can watch the whole Packer game, and still have an opportunity to win the pounder bet based upon the Pats performance. I will offer this bet to all, but for Cliffy it is going to cost him 5 pounders. For the rest of the weekend, it is going to suck. The Pats have gotten all of the credit this year, but there have been 2 dominant teams in each conference. They are all playing at home with an extra week to rest. The top 4 QBs in the playoffs are P Manning, Brady, Romo and Farve, and it really isn't close. Do you really have faith in Eli, Rivers, Garrard, or Matt Hasselbeck? I respect Hasselbeck, but without a running game, and since he is on the road, he is far more likely to throw 3 picks than 3 TDs. Eli has had a couple good moments in the past 2 weeks, but when it counted against the Pats, he threw the key pick, and there really wasn't a difficult, pressure packed moment against Tampa. So basically, i am taking all four home teams to cover.. I’m back…. Kind of a busy work week, so I my absense has been non-torpid related…..

I like Hasselbeck, but the Packers front four will give him fits, and his receivers won't make enough plays (I love Branch too, but he's banged up, and doesn't seem to have the chemistry with Hasselbeck that he had with Brady). For all those reaons, the Seahawks are not going to Lambeau and winning. They're just not. Pack win big. Patriots - no commentary necessary Colts - Philip Rivers sucks. Norv Turner is the Chargers coach. LT whines like a little bitch when the chips are down. And the chips WILL be down...because the Colts are good and Rivers sucks. Did I mention that Rivers sucks? Colts win big. Dallas - While I can see all the reasons why the Giants are being picked, and if Eli plays like he did against the Pats they'll probably win the game. But at the end of the day, unless Owens is completely ineffective and the rest of the Cowboys lay an egg (and yes I know they limped into the playoffs), the Cowboys are the better team, and the better team usually wins. Will they win by 7.5...I don't know, probably not, but at least this way I get to have two bets against you.

Giants top 2 corners are out, Owens will play and Glenn looks like he'll be returning as well. Corey freakin' Webster will be going up against Owens (don't let last week fool you, he's not very good); even at less than full strength Owens should have a field day. When Giants go Nickel, RW McQuarters will be out there, and in the Dime, Micheal Johnson, a 7th round rookie, will be out there - good times! Of course, I can't bring myself to bet a pounder against my team, so I'll stick with the Giants, but my optimism from earlier in the week has taken a big hit.... I'll take GB and lay the 3-1...
