Football Playoffs Pool (For Fun)

[rsot]

I am glad the Patriots lost but even that they only scored 13...shocking - and the amount of choking at the goal territory - quite weird.

I liked SF from back in the days of Montana and Rice so can hope.

I like the grit of the Ravens though.

By far the dirtiest player in league history. He ends Brady's entire season a few years ago in the 1st game of the year.

Then throws a dirty head to head hit on Ridley this year, causing a fumble and completely changing the game.

Looks like the ONLY way to beat the Patriots is if their top players are hurt. That's pretty pathetic. I hate to make excuses but the've been purely unlucky in the most important moments of the past 5-6 years.

I mention here a day or so ago I cannot stand the Ravens. They play dirty, head hunt and for years have went after key players to hurt them.

I used to think Pittsburgh was flat out dirty but this bunch of idiots has even Pittsburgh beat.

Cocky nasty dirty mouthy players like the Ravens is why kids have turned away from telling Mom and Dads when I grow up I want to play in the NFL.

My brothers and their buddies played in the back yard for years pretending to be NFL players. Now kids dont even want to toss the football around.

They do go out and play basketball and baseball here but never see any kids playing football.

The good ole days of kids wanting to be like Joe Montana, Roger Staubach, Boomer Esiason, Dan Marino, and many good defensive players who played for the love of the game and not to hurt someone is long gone.

The hit on Ridley should bring a hefty fine and suspension from the SB.

COUNT how many Ravens player today hit Pats players helmet to helmet. Lots!

Yup, it's terrible. Took the words right out of my mouth.

Now, the Patriots can only go so far when their top players are INJURED. It's frustrating to watch these devastating injuries and wildly unlucky plays kill them year after year. Especially when arguably the greatest QB of all time, Brady, career is nearing an end.

It's sad to say and is maybe too early to think about - but I think they might have to get rid of Welker and bring in a guy like Fitzgerald or Jennings.

I would honestly put all my money on them to win the SuperBowl if I knew they'd stay just somewhat healthy. I'm a big Pats fan and I can literally go on for days with my frustration over any loss.

Pats were making Ravens look like fools 1st half.

Ravens went to locker room and came up with a new game plan.

Lets hurt anyone of value or at least try to.

Ravens should not even have been in this game, they got lucky last week and this week pulled their normal HEAD HUNTER dirty tricks.

Sure they are a physical group but SF might just be able to toss up some very large servings of the same thing if they start to play dirty.

SF is very physical and more athletic then Ravens.

Ravens I am sure are already thinking how to take out Crabtree, Gore etc.

Interesting to see the spread for this game. I would assume 49ers +3.5 or so. I think the public will ride the ravens and the Ray Lewis inspirational story of his last go. When the public loves a team, always go the other way.

I know a few people in vegas who make more money on huge games, and lets just say they kill it. They sent me a picture of their betting ticket today for the ravens game. 20k on ravens straight up.

Good job!

And congrats to Futuremogul888 !!!

Honestly, this is one of those pools where nobody won. We were all way off. I was just slightly less off.

You would have won if you picked 49ers like I was saying Sandy

[AmazonStealth]

Would it be violating the rules to do a march madness pool for money?

[NGALO1983]

Anybody want to make a wager on the 49ers Vs Ravens???? The 49ers is predicted to win. However, I pick the underdog Ravens to win. No points on how much they will win by and I predict it will be a close game but I pick Ravens. PM me if interested. Losers send it $$$ to Paypal.

Why did you not get into the pool rsot?

I did not trust the new QB and did not see them much this year.

Did not realize the overall talent and athletes they have on both sides.

I hope they win, cant stand the dirty playing head hunter Ravens.

Thinking of buying a Ravens helmet and hitting it a hammer several times and selling it as a game used helmet to helmet 7 time hits vs Pats players helmet.

Big bucks.

Bringing up the Patriots "cheating" is the most ignorant thing that can ever be said in regards to football. If you knew just the slightest thing about the situation, you would know that the commissioner of the NFL clearly stated what they did "gave them no competitive advantage". Case closed, Mr. Bills fan.

[mrbills10]

Great Comeback...Case Closed...Of Coarse the NFL would say that...they want to hide it as much as possible...Heck...they even lost the tapes...COME ON MAN...If they didnt think it was cheating, how come they fined them and took draft picks away...Knowing the other teams signals would'nt give them a competivie edge...really...

I am not a bills fan...I just like Mr. Bill..the character that started on SNL

You clearly know nothing about the situation seeing as everything you've tried mentioning so far has been wrong and flat out ignorant.

Spelling seems to be another thing you know very little about. (Coarse? Would'nt? Competivie?) It looks like you must have misspelled your username as well, considering the fact you claim it comes from "Mr. Bill" and not the "Buffalo Bills". I guess you just felt like adding an extra 's'? Lol get out of here, bud.
