Championship Sunday & Other Stuff Too

I know nobody comes here for pick advice. (yet) Ha Ha! But I will continue to make them. Last week I ran off four losses. You're welcome. It should be noted that I don't make my living off of sports betting so use this info accordingly. I'm also on a nice little run in a poker tournament so this post may be splotchy.

CARDINALS (+4) over Eagles
How about them Cardinals? Did anyone expect them to go into Carolina and lay the beatdown on the Panthers the way they did? Nice work if you did. I didn't. So now we have the NFC Championship being hosted in Arizona. I bet they wish they were hosting the Big Game this year instead of last.

I like the points at home in this one. I think Warner is in a better position to succeed than McNabb. He just has more weapons at his disposal. I actually like the Cards to win this game outright.

Ravens (+6) over STEELERS
Another week, another road playoff game for rookie QB Joe Flacco. This has been a great season and a great run for the Baltimore Ravens. That game last week vs the Titans was fierce. I think Baltimore was lucky to come out of it though.

These teams have already played twice this year with Pittsburgh winning both, but they were close. I think this game will be close and therefore I'll take the points. I like the Steelers to win a close one, but it's not inconceivable that the Ravens could be heading for Tampa Bay.

As always I never encourage sports-betting, but if you do feel so inclined Sports Interaction is where I'd go. Yes, they have poker too!

Last week: 0-4
Playoffs: 2-6


...The Detroit Lions hired a new head coach - Jim Schwartz. I am happy they finally went with a defensive guy. Now if only they can somehow trade down a spot or two in the draft and resist the temptation to take a QB. I am hoping (praying) that this team will be built from the lines out with an emphasis on developing a nasty defense. We have tried other ways and the results speak for themselves. Good luck coach!

...we are down to 38/560. My stack is shrinking. I made a mega donk move to lose over half my chips when I played AJo vs KK. We'll see what happens. I gotta bear down now. I'll post the results when I finish.

***Just busted 34th. K8d lost to ATo. Had two diamonds on the flop. Alas, the third one never showed. $11>$27. meh...
