NFL playoff "action" game

[Simon_Cowbell]

OK.

Time for a twist on the NFL playoff predictions.

Everyone who wants to participate will get 200 "beans"

Posted are the four wild-card matchups, with spreads, money line (team to win the game by any margin) and over-under.

You can apply your beans however you want.

Spreads and over-under will be a 1/1 payout.

No teasers or parlays.

Let's see who is best at putting their "money" where the mouth is.

Falcons (-2) at Cardinals
Money line: Falcons, -130; Cardinals +110
O/U: 51 1/2

Colts (-1) at Chargers
Money line: Colts -120; Chargers +105
O/U: 51 1/2

Ravens (-3) at Dolphins
Money line: Ravens -190; Dolphins +160
O/U: 37 1/2

Eagles (-3) at Vikings
Money line: Eagles -175; Vikings +155
O/U: 42 1/2

Deadline for all games in wild-card round is Noon Saturday.
You do not have to wager all 200 beans.

150 on Cardinals +110 to win (to get 315 back)
50 on Dolphins +160 to win (to get 130 back)

Money line always confuses the **** out of me. So I could just bet the spread and/or the over/under, right?

Money line = Dolphins are +160 means you bet 100 to win 160, or as Simon did, bet 50 to win 80.

Ravens -190 means bet 190 to win 100.

yessir

 

[Captain_Kirk]

I'll put all 200 on the Colts -1.

 

[Goldeaston]

Can I do a three-team parlay? Or a five-way teaser with spreads and over-under?

Just kidding.

I also will put 100 beans on the Colts -1, and 100 on the Ravens -3.

 

[JakeandElwood]

Is this going to be going throughout the playoffs?
Btw, this is a very fun idea, I'm looking forward to it.

 

[heyabbott]

100 on the Eagles giving 3
50 on the Ravens giving 3

 

[Freelance Hack]

95 on the Ravens (-190)
55 Chargers/Colts OVER
50 on the Cardinals +2

 

[hockeybeat]

I'm putting everything on the Falcons.

 

[Blitz]

100 on the Eagles giving 3

Impossible, isn't it?
Didn't many on this board and most of the mainstream media jump the gun a month ago by declaring McNabb to be "done with" and the Eagles to be "sunk"?
I bet he's loving this postseason more than any other player in the league.

Rant over (for now).

I, like Kirk, am putting all 200 on the Dolts. (Remember the 'Bottom 10' syndicate feature?)

Yes.

Thanks.

Beans will carry over.

If you go to zero, you are out.

If you don't delineate the spread, I will be forced to assume money line.

McNabb v. Tarvaris & Gus. As long as Norv isn't coaching the Eagles this weekend, what more could you want.

Yeah, use the money line. I feel that good about the Falcons.

I'd love to be in Vegas this weekend, hangin' at one of the books.
During a calendar year, there are a few three- or four-day periods when you could have a blast there.
This weekend's one of 'em.

I am putting 200 on the Falcons to cover the spread.
