I am highly skeptical of the Eagles winning this weekend.
I mean we are talking McNabb here. The guy that blamed "youth" for the dismal performance of last weekend. Youth? Last I checked the QB who repeatedly missed open targets would and should shoulder some, if not most of the blame for a team scoring a total of ZERO points.
Him taking a leadership role would have gone a lot farther than blaming the "kids" that have been covering his lame ass all year.
Then again if they lose, maybe McNabb gets traded/released/goes away.

did I mention that Whip is nvts?



wow.

Imagine you're a huge Cowboys fan.



You have season tickets, and they're good seats. you got to watch the boys pummell the Eagles last weekend...and this week....they're coming back for seconds. the only thing better than beating the Eagles 24-0 is beating the Eagles in the playoffs.

i don't care if it's 7-6. If we can beat these cocksuckers this week, I'll guarantee a SuperBowl appearance.

We might lose to the Colts.....but we'll get there.

COWBOOOOOOYYYYYS!

if the cowboys take out the eagles, you would very likely be in the superbowl, but you'd be facing the chargers, not the colts

So, who's going to generate the most money in this Cowboy/Eagles match?

I was going to ask who was going to win, but since that's irrelevant...

The money is heavily lop-sided on the cowboys.
nfl network is bombarding this game, guiding the money.
regardless, the eagles are clearly the superior team on both sides of the ball.
its too bad for the cowboys as they would have easily eliminated the vikings in minnesota next week.

So, because most bets are on the Cowboys to win, they will lose, right? Because that's how the most money will be made, instead of it being on the spread? I need this to be a predication with the gambling argument backing it up.

The spread is at 3.5, so they take the money wether the eagles win 50-0 again, or lose by 3 points.
they can take the money regardless of the winner

is that a good thing?

I have to admit that I am strongly effected by the outcome of meaningless sporting events of the dallas cowboys variety.

ummm, i didn't expect the eagles to make the play-offs this season.
i didn't put a penny on them to win the superbowl, nfc or the nfc east when the season started, despite them being favorited.
i have a more realistic view from where i'm sitting.

Whip, I gotta ask - What does this shining example of a game do to your theory?
