The Texans put up 425 yards and 25 first downs last week. The Pat defense is vulnerable esp. to the deep ball. Turnovers have saved them all year, but the Ravens protect the ball well - only Washington had fewer turnovers. And while they may have looked improved in the last part of the season against the fading Texans and punchless Jacksonville and Miami, they did allow 4 TD passes to CK three on deep balls. The vulnerability is there.
Joe Flacco isn't Matt Schaub, and his receiving corps does not have Andre Johnson
and Owen Daniels. So the passing game isn't equal. I also think Arian Foster is better
the Baltimore's running attack. I don't expect Baltimore to put the same numbers on
the board that Houston did. I do believe Baltimore's defense will play better than
Houston's did though.

I think the Patriots do possess one tangible asset that no other team possesses... the
best coach in the game. He will have them ready to play, and they won't self-destruct.
I look for them to be favored this weekend, and then in the Super Bowl as well.

You're delusional. We have the second youngest team in the NFL and all of our key players are under contract. If you really believed that you would bet more than a measly 50 bucks. The Giants posting a better record than the Seahawks next year? LMAO! We had one of the toughest schedules this season, next year we'll have a tougher season (a few teams underp ...[text shortened]... e panthers and will probably be tougher next season) but we'll come out with a better record.
The Vikings will rule the world next year! Seahwaks were an awesome team, so unlucky, one of the greatest American football matches I've seen.

All four games this weekend were eminently watcheable, even the 4th qtr shellacking of GB by 49ers. I hope the games are more competetive than the last one. Houston simply did not seem like they even wanted to be there. Kudos to Seahwaks' extraordinary record! Almost pulled one off for the ages!

Was I the only one who thought cowardly play calling cost the broncos the game? Forget about the defense giving up a 70 yd touchdown pass, they shouldn't have been on the field in the first place.

Come to think of it, I'm in for $20. The money goes to the charity of the other person's choice.
I'm still waiting for the last guy I beat on a bet on these forums to pay off. I think I'll pass.

Tomtom didn't even pay off on your bet; he was supposed to be Sacc's yes man for a month but he was giving him crap in the other thread after the Seahawk loss.

Schaub slumped down the stretch; counting the two postseason games, he threw only 3 TDs in the Texans' last six games. Flacco has gotten hot in the post season (5 TDs, 0 INTs) and has the best QB rating of any QB there. Since 2010 he played in 6 playoff games and has 12 TDs and only 2 INTs.

I'd take Flacco over Schaub in a big game any day of the week.

His bet was modified to be my yes-man instead.

He started to make good, and I laughed and then let him back out.

It's for charity, and I'm agreeing to the bet publicly. If I don't make good I'll be shamed.

Screw it, OK. Terms are that one team has to finish with a better record; no tiebreakers - if they wind up with the same record it's a push. Final record: Giants v. Seahawks 2013 regular season. $20.

Listen to you, trumping up Schaub and Daniels. Please. Flacco has a much better arm and equally as dangerous weapons around him though Andre is an elite player for sure.

Why shouldn't I? They are all headed to the Pro Bowl?
I didn't see Flacco headed there.

He'll be busy preparing for the Super Bowl anyway.

Deal.

I'm good either way, but what if one has a worse record but makes it further in the playoffs?

No, he'll be watching both on tv.

Wrong on both accounts, idiot. I haven't even replied to one of his posts since the Seahawks lost let alone "give him crap." Further more, the bet wasn't for me to be his yes man it was to be USArmyParatrooper's yes man but I was told I was off the hook.

Loser, did you say this on December 7th:

I would. But as a non sub I can't use that feauture. How about this. Whoever loses has to be scachipazzo's yes man for a month.



I didn't catch that it got changed. Either way you welshed; if you had any class you would have honored the bet even if Stormtrooper gave you a pass. But obviously you're a classless loudmouth crybaby.
