Dude, the cowboys are ranked 20th in points allowed this season.... i would call that far under par for a team thats supposed to be competing for the superbowl.
when was the last time a team with such a bad defence even made it to the superbowl?
lj, i'm just tryna help you save face for a second year in a row.

detroit red wings 4.50
the team does have some problems in the front and in the back.
changes that were made don't look like a good idea, so there will be transitions within that will hold detroit back from running away with their division.
i highly doubt that detroit can repeat.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

san jose sharks 6.00

in my eyes, this team is the top contender for the stanley cup.
this team will at least be competing in the western conference final.

good bet.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

montreal canadiens 8.00

this team will not be going away any time soon.
as a franchise it is being run perfectly.
the speed and depth of this team makes them a contender in the eastern conference.
the only team in their division that looks competitive or remotely capable is the boston bruins.

good bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

pittsburgh penguins 10.00


gonchar imo, along with whitney, we're the main reason why the penguins found success last year.
they are both out for plenty of months.
ty is gone as well, leaving the penguins weak.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

ny rangers 11.00

my friend called the rangers last year, and i couldn't quite see how it could happen.
they kinda look good this year, but still, i can't see this defence holding up despite the swede in net.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

anaheim ducks 13.00

pronger is the best defencive school in the game.
the team remains elite, tough conference though.

good bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

washington capitols 17.00

this team is full of stars
semin and green accompany the greatest forward in the game.
solid goaltending make this team a top contender in the eastern conference.

good bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

minnesota wild 17.00

no no no, this team is not ready to compete.
too weak in too many places.
gaborik is the best winger in the game, but the team cannot compete with the other elite teams competing in the western conference.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

calgary flames 17.00

very impressive names in the line-up, but don't let that fool you.
the rest of the lines remain weak.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

buffalo sabres 17.00

how could anyone contemplate that this team can compete for anything this year. the play-offs are far fetched.

bad bet

-------------------------------------------------------------------

there are 4 more good bets and high prices and tell you why after the weekend when i'll have more free time to continue this.

the other 4 good bets would be........

phoinex coyotes

i've never been a fan of wayne as a coach, but i think he's starting to catch on now.
the team he has built is actually pretty good.
the addition of bryzgalov in net and jokinen at center are huge and now make this team a competitive force in the abosulte elite division in hockey. i would not be suprised at all if this team goes deeper than most expect in this seasons play-offs.

boston bruins

i've already hinted that the bruins were 1 of the 4 in the montreal reco;

as a franchise it is being run perfectly.
the speed and depth of this team makes them a contender in the eastern conference.
the only team in their division that looks competitive or remotely capable is the boston bruins.
the bruins have since dominated all teams in hockey, and now people have to start facing the reality of the bruins goaltender thomas who is a brick wall. this team is young and for real.

edmonton oilers

lets not forget that this is a team who made it to the stanley cup finals with chris pronger leading, leaving his teachings in defence.
the oilers have since added some very key players into the roster, mostly on the defence, but also some youngsters.
the key reason for this bet is that the division has become a little weak.... the canucks without luongo will certainly not be a contender.
the wild with gaborik is a very exciting team, but he's not playing, and if you look within the roster, its not really that impressive, i can't see them lasting. colorado seem the weakest despite some runs that they will have when their key players get in form.
the flames seem to be the oilers main opponent to win this division, but as i said above, the rest of the lines are not quite up to par.

st. louis blues


the 4th team that was left was the blues.
now this is a young team that will be competing with the blackhawks for this division in years to come.
its probably not time to be betting on them yet, but at this high price, a few coins can't hurt.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Washington Redskins vs New York Giants(-5.5)

probably the two best teams in the nfl in a preview of a later play-off round for sure.
with all their weapons , the redskins are superior.

Bet on the Washington Redskins

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Oakland Raiders(-3.5) vs Kansas City Chiefs

believe it or not, with the broncos season over, due to injuries to their key players on both sides of the ball, this division is open for grabs.
the chargers and the raiders are in a race to surpass the dead broncos.
mcffaden and fargas will run all over this very weak run defence.

Bet on the Oakland Raiders

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Minnesota Vikings(-3.5) vs Chicago Bears

just a huge game here, as it is a 2 horse race in this division.
the bears defence is even better now that their offence is working allowing them to rest.
the bears passing game will work against this minnesota defence.
forte can catch the ball if you haven't noticed.
the bears are a force in this nfc.

Bet on the Chicago Bears

you should worry about your own face.

Since Wade took over play calling, the Dallas D has been extremely stingy.

The thing is, WHIP, that neither of us knows shit. I can admit that ...you can't.

It wasn't even close. The Giants are looking extremely dominant... even moreso after losing both their starting defensive ends. Amazing and sickening at the same time.

W.HI.P 12-07-2008 12:18 AM

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

pittsburgh steelers[-3.0] vs dallas cowboys

now the cowboys suck, that is very clear... its just that the steelers are worse, and wether you know it or not, their season is over ...the cowboys aren't that far ahead, they've got until just after the wildcard should they make it that far with their evident holes.

bet on the dallas cowboys


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

baltimore ravens[-6.5] vs washington redskins

both of these teams are capable of going pretty far in the play-offs.
given the lack of decent teams on both ends, why not all the way.
the problem in this one for the ravens is that their offence is out-matched and will finds it tough putting up points.
low scoring game that could go either way...take the points.


bet on the under

bet on the washington redskins


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

carolina panthers[-3.5] vs tampa bay bucs


the bookies aren't far off with the 3.5 points on carolina at home, its the media that have it all wrong.
given the fact that this is a monday night game, you gotta go against the media.

bet on the tampa bay bucs

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

W.HI.P 12-12-2008 08:58 AM

every year at this time we start running into some serious cash.
its bowl time..............
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
eagle bank bowl

wake forest[-3.0] - navy

navy has produced some good defence over these past few weeks, but here they are out-matched.
wake forest would have to stay home to lose this one.

bet on wake forest

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

new orleans bowl

southern miss - troy[-4.5]


when i first saw the spread, i thought it was a miss-print.
no match here, easy win for the golden eagles.

bet on souther miss

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

champs sports bowl


wisconsin - florida st[-4.5]


there are a lot more games i'd like to have money on, but when they give away gifts like this, you have to limit yourself and take the easy money..... this should be a badgers win.

bet on wisconsin

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

alamo bowl


missouri[-13.0] - northwestern

there are some who would assume that missouri would not come to play their best stuff in the alamo bowl as their goals were obviously higher.
the differences are just to big here not to go with the better side.

bet on missouri

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

sun bowl

oregon st[-3.0] - pittsburgh


here's another head scratcher...anyone who's been watching knows that it should be at least the other way around.

bet on pittsburgh


--------------------------------------------------------------------------

rose bowl

usc[-10.0] - penn state

oh my i like this one.
the rose bowl's not that bad, they could have both done better.
i say they both show up.
penn state can win.

bet on penn state

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

cotton bowl

mississippi - texas tech[-5.5]

most of you are gonna have your money riding on tech.
those who've watched mississippi play, know better.

bet on mississippi

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

bcs championship

oklahoma - florida[-3.0]

i expected oklahoma to be here last year and win it.
imo, they remain the one team in the nation..... again.

bet on oklahoma

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was going to say something about these results, but then I remembered that December 7th was 'Opposite Day.' great week!

W.HI.P 12-12-2008 08:33 PM

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

new york jets[-9.5] vs buffalo bills

why would anyone, at any time, think that the jets are capable of doing anything with this kind of team.
buffalo is a better team, and unless they're in draft mode, they'll win this game against this inferior opponent.

bet on the buffalo bills

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

arizona cardinals[-5.5] vs minnesota vikings

there are 9 teams in the nfl that won't be making the play-offs, that would be, had they been in the nfc west.
the cardinals have a one dimensional offence.
minnesota are superior and would be superbowl contenders if they could only stop the pass.

bet on the minnesota vikings

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

baltimore ravens vs pittsburgh steelers[-2.5]

wether they win or lose this game, the steelers season is over.
these men on offence keep getting beat up week after week.
it now gets worse against the ravens d which will punish this extremely weak offencive line, and in turn hurt an already bruised up ben.... there is no way that this team can last the season, put aaside their above par defence.

bet on the baltimore ravens

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

dallas cowboys[-3.0] vs ny giants


do the giants want to put a nail in the cowboys coffin...
negative, why would they want to take out a team that they can beat on any given day.
the giants have other teams to fear and will let the cowboys win this game in hope to face such a weak opponent as the cowboys in the play-offs..... its time to rest anyways.

bet on the weak, full of holes, under par defenced dallas cowboys


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
