View Full Version : Route for me tonight

I know that this means I am jinxing myself but here's the deal:
I am in a football pool with like 200 people and I have a chance to win some serious cash tonight. (upwards of 1700 bucks) Here's the situation and what I need to happen:
I need New England to win tonight (no point spread). One other person also has New England, therefore, it goes to a tiebreaker which is the total number of points in the game tonight. Because i usually think it will never come to this I just throw any old number up there. This week I put 50 points down. The other person has 39 points. Whoever comes the closest wins. Therefore, if New England wins I need the total score to be 45 or more points.
What do you think of my chances? And, more importantly, are you routing for me? If you give me some support, and I indeed win, I will buy you a beer at the next event. That is my pledge.

Go gettum Champ! I hope it all breaks your way.
Remember, collect your money and run out of there like a scalded dog. DON'T STICK AROUND WITH THAT BIG WAD OF CASH...you're just asking for problems.

I'll certainly be rooting (not routing) for you but I don't like your chances and I'll tell ya why. First off the over/under out of Vegas is 35 1/2 as of right now so you start the game 15 points (over 2 touchdowns) over what the pro's are picking. The Pats offense is average at best and Denver is starting their third string quarterback Danny Kanell who is probable due to a finger injury not to mention he is horrendous. You are certainly behind the 8 ball playa but as I'm sure you know crazier things have happened. The way I see it you are gonna need a few turnovers that go for 7 for any shot cause this game isn't touchin' 45 cleanly. I'll post again after the first quarter with some more thoughts.

Your in a very commanding position right now (3:13 left in the third) considering how the odds were stacked against you at the start of the game. A total of 43 points with a boatload of time left. Being that the winner doesn't decide jack it's safe to say you have scored nicely tonight.
*That punt return that went for seven was after a flag that canceled out the return before.

Tonights game confirmed that Tom Brady is the king of last minute drives and that Belichick is the smartest coach in the NFL.
With tonights Patriots performance I won in both my fantasy leagues. I am now 1-8! Sweet, .500% here I come!

Just got back from work...yeah I am on the midnight to 8 shift. I was pumped all night and couldn't believe that worked out for me.
I owe beers to the following:

-mikeyboy
-snoogans-we two lucky fuckers
-johnnycash...i always wanted to buy him a beer or whiskey or something
-fallon
-walking joint (if portis/sharpe totalled him 26 points)
-monsterone gets a pitty drink
-and finally, the funkman- where do you wanna meet up?

Wow, they scored 53 points! If I could go back in time I would have posted in this thread; and I would have done other things, too! Like put money down on Funny Cide to win the Kentucky Derby and not drove away when I hit that 6-year-old and his ferret with the- well, I'd go back in time is all's I'm sayin'!

Congrats Sticky, buy your girl something nice instead of spending it on beer! :p
