Taking all bets!
« on: August 19, 2007, 01:20:47 am »
Well, AmericanFootball has started! You know what that means!
By statistics, man power, fantasy leagues, and common since, who do you think will go all the way to the Super bowl?

Although i hate them i have to say the Pats have to be the favorite....More to come though in the following weeks when i will be posting updates on sleeper teams and longshots with a chance....its too early to really know but if i had to choose a team it would be the pats cuz right now they look unbeatable.  We will know in week 5ish who the contenders are though.

I'd say that Pats and for some reason, I have a weird feeling about the Jets too... Don't ask why, but its just like their overdo to make it to the Super Bowl.

The jets will get in as a wild card and be beat out in the first round....If not then they go 8-8....and 8-8 aint gonna cut it in the AFC....10 wins to make it to the playoffs in the AFC.

Yeah, but its just a weird gut feeling, not a strong enough feeling to really place any sort of bet though.
If I would have to place a bet, it would be with Pats. They always seem to have a high defense it seems, no matter what draft, no matter what condition. They can hold up.

The Steelers aren't going to do good, they are trying something they have never done before, instead of sticking to something similar. I say keep working on the same plan to make it better.

I disagree....they have talent that they have never had before and i think its time to capitalize....last year the only plays that worked were the passes....NOT the runs....its time to let Big Ben do what he does best.  Fast willy catching outta the backfield will be unstoppable.

If you put it that way, they should have a great advantage on more offensive, less defensive teams.

But still, I want to see how the Bears recover from their loss at the Super bowl.

Well, the Packers tore apart the Seahawks last night...it'll be interesting to see how they do during the regular season.

It's still too early to tell for any team though, IMO.

Only anime shows I've felt any interest in over the years are Pokemon (original TV series) and various hentai.
so clearly jgrp is a goddamn anime connoisseur. his opinion might as well be law here.

It is very early, thats why you take what you know from the games played and last year's season.

Like they say, if you can't win the first, you can't win them all.

Thats somewhat true...you take what you know from last year and apply all the new trades/holdouts/new coaches/new ages/etc.

The pre season means shit cuz they play the 1st string for 2 drives lol the pre season is just to test out rookies...belive me it means shit....many teams have went 1-3 or 0-4 in the pre season and then win the super bowl

but it still tests them and shows their abilities to help give you an idea on how they will play throughout the season.

Teams play at about 45 percent....so i suppose it does...but its not THAT reliable...

If i have not made this clear by now im a steelers fan....they were the first team i ever watched as a kid and i loved them ever since....I cried my eyes out when they won the super bowl 2 years ago....that was the best day of my life.... The greatest post season run in SPORTS history...i was so ****ing proud that day....we  finally did it...we won the ****ing super bowl...omg...that day was amazing...that season was amazing...that afc champ. game was the best game ever played in a dome...what a great year.   Wow...i just went off on a rant lmao
