    Wreckedem and Impastem where are your picks? I guess being from SEC country makes you both experts,  but remember this isnt an inbreeding forum this one is for sports.

    Hang in there LeagueCapper. You can't win them all. You had some nice stats to back up your play. I've noticed that bad teams play more poorly at home towards the end of the year. Have you also noticed this trend? It seems like ,if they get behind they are more apt to quit if the game is meaningless to their season. I've observed this to hold true also in Baskets as well. I don't handicap Football but was  liking the 49ers + pts Today. I just think their better then Seattle. Seattle has also been extremely lucky to cash in on so many turnovers the last few weeks against poor quality opposition. Curious on your thoughts regarding this game. Guys! Please do not bash this poster. It's obvious he puts a lot of hard work into making his picks... Win or Lose.

With no dog in the fight I'll be cheering for your bet.

    Consider this about Atlanta.

    At one point in the game they were winning the TO battle 2-0, they held the Lions to 3 FG's instead of TD'S and they could only have a small 21-16 lead.

    It took them winning the TO battle by 3-0 after holding them to 3 FG's before they could pull away to a safe lead.

    That's pretty scary stuff if you plan on backing Atlanta this postseason..........................................................................

    Consider this about Atlanta.

    At one point in the game they were winning the TO battle 2-0, they held the Lions to 3 FG's instead of TD'S and they could only have a small 21-16 lead.

    It took them winning the TO battle by 3-0 after holding them to 3 FG's before they could pull away to a safe lead.

    That's pretty scary stuff if you plan on backing Atlanta this postseason..........................................................................

    always love your trends capper thanks for the post too bad on the lions, this time of the year motivation plays a factor too I'm careful not to bet on teams with nothing to play for I was watching some of the chiefs raiders last week on red zone and the chiefs pass rush was just standing around it was like watching the probowl and that's a divisional rivalry.

    guys  if you lose money following posts on this board then it's your fault! Learn to look up your own stats and handicap yourself or realize it's gambling you are gonna lose more then you will win in most cases. League capper puts up informed posts with good info that does not mean it's guaranteed! if the capper could guarantee his picks he would be making enough money to not bother with posting on sites like this!

    Always cracks me up when people come in bad-mouthing other people for following their picks. You made the bet, YOU take responsibility for it. Funkin mind-boggling. How many of you would come back praising his name if you won outright? Few. And I bet you'd be telling your friends how smart you were for taking the lions when "everyone else" was on the falcons. Shove it.

    FYI, the lions outgained the Falcons by almost 200 YARDS last night as well. That's ridiculous. Only they could find a way to lose by nearly 2 touchdowns.

    We are undisciplined.  Heck even our coach has cost us a game literally by himself!

    Altanta NEEDS this game to get momentum going.  They will use this as practice.  I honestly do not see any way in hell Detroit wins.  Will they get a back door possible.  But dont count on it.  Atlanta rolls.  31-17

    Dang that guy knows what he is talking about!!!

    LC, Overanalysis is good for paralysis - That's it. 

    The "Emo-let-down" does indeed work on the rare occasion, at those times when the game will have no consequence to the season - but this game does have consequences to ATL
     1's for better seeding in playoffs
    2's for the Ryan-disrespect (Think Dirk N. after the brothers made fun of him).

I respect your play on the Lions but can't back em in this spot with nothing to play for while the Dirty Birds are looking for home field and are the much better team. My plays will be on the Falcons ML and ats.

    Atlanta is 17-1 vs a team with a losing record on ML.

    Atl. 26-7 with 6 or less days rest last 3 seasons.

    Lions are 0-10 ats all games vs. team with winning record 2'nd half of the season last 2 seasons. Just a few more to consider and I'll just be making mid size plays including the under in a tease and parlay. Either way BOL and happy holidays to all.

    Atlanta has one more game to win before getting essentially 3 weeks rest. Its a huge carrot and I don't see them being flat. If anything I expect them to come out firing. I mean Seattle weren't exactly flat after their blow out win against the cards in Toronto?

    your play might win but your logic makes no sense to me as a POY

Like any wager where people are on opposite sides, you'll obviously see opposite opinions. I understand your position on the "spot/situation" in this game, I just don't think it's applicable. I also hate to see anyone lose a wager, especially myself though, so maybe I'm doing a little of the same and trying to justify my position. Hopefully you haven't taken anything I stated, as me being adversarial towards you.

      Anyway, like I said to Theone, Merry Christmas and hope there's a prosperous New Year ahead for you.  Nothing changes here though, one of us wins, and one of us loses.  I just hate to see someone have so much invested in a bad, bad, football team, that's pretty much packed it in.
