-----------------------------------------------
Favorite / Spread / Underdog / Over-Under
At New England / -7 / Baltimore / 50
At San Francisco / -2.5 / NY Giants / 42
-----------------------------------------------

Auggie picks:

Baltimore / UNDER 50
San Francisco / UNDER 42

[Goblinmonger]

1. These should be good one.

Baltimore/ UNDER
Giants/ OVER

[PRETZEL]

2. Oh God, I hate this

Baltimore Under
Giants Over

[JonLP24]

3. I'm learning quickly to pick the OVER in every game

I may not get every pick right but I will get most of them.

Baltimore/Over
San Francisco Over

I'm glad there is no Denver from a picking POV. Every time I pick against them they cover, when I do pick them, they get burned badly.

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Sad Packer girl checking in...

cry: cry:

Oh wait, what? Picks? Okay...

Patriots OVER
Giants OVER

[RockaFowler]

5. I can't wait until I lose again this week

New England Under
Giants Over

[thelordofhell]

6. Home field makes all the difference

At New England / -7 / Baltimore / 50-----------------New England/Under
At San Francisco / -2.5 / NY Giants / 42-------------San Francisco/Over

[Auggie]

8. That's what I hope

[many a good man]

7. Flacco schools Brady and Cam calls the game of his life

Problem is, I'm not sure if it happens in this universe or another. Flacco is sporting the evil Fu Manchu mustache, after all.

BAL OVER
SF UNDER

[bluedigger]

9. hmmmmm....

New England Patriots Over

New York Giants Under

[Scurrilous]

16. Handicapper bets $1.5 million on San Francisco to cover ...

and $600,000 on the under (42)

Adam Meyer, one of the better-known gamblers in Las Vegas, also bet $100,000 on the St. Louis Cardinals (15-1 odds) to win the World Series before the playoffs started.

20. It takes a special kind of insight

to get zero points.

Follow me to Vegas? Follow me to Vegas? Get on my back!!!

[RockaFowler]

21. I'm out of the basement

[Scurrilous]

22. Congrats anakie.

[anakie]

25. thanks

[JonLP24]

23. LOL - after a post-season full of Overs

I get crushed with 2 unders.

[Auggie]

24. Could have been worse ...

you didn't bet $1.5 million on San Francisco
