my new strategy is to take games I would never take if I was betting becuase I can't win a game if I put money on it. That first half under on the Giants/Packers game is what ususally happens if I make a bet. I am just taking Hockey picks in this contest. Hockey is a sport I don't even follow.

Paterno passed away and the haters are in full swing on the SFTC message boards with comments about being glad and rot in hell and the comments getting plenty of likes. Some people make me sick

RIP JoePa

regardless of what the haters think this was a good man

Good Morning $25 Dime Club! The Celebration continues today as we watch Championship Football. I'm going big on the Ravens as I said earlier this week and I'm getting 9 points on Bovada. I think the Ravens have a great chance of winning this game straight up and getting 9 is a huge overlay.

In the NFC Championship Game I like the 49ers to beat the Giants and cover the spread. I see turnovers playing a huge role in this game. So in conclusion I'm sticking with my original prediction when the Playoffs started. Baltimore-San Francisco Harbaugh Bowl II.

This is sad news to hear that he passed away. Just another example of when a man puts everything he has into something and when it's taken away, how devastating it can be. I think Joe Paterno died of a broken heart more than cancer. He was a good man who impacted the lives of thousands of men. It's unfortunate that the scandal has tainted that. But as we all know we have all made mistakes and will continue to make them. The difference is our lives aren't played out on a national stage for the world to judge. For the classless people that kick a man while he is dead just shows how they feel about themselves. What have they done in their life that would be frowned upon. This is why they feel good stomping on someone because they know that nobody will be able to judged them so harshly. If that makes sense. Bottomline is people need to show respect and unfortunately so many don't do that. RIP Joe Paterno you are forgiven.

Despite that he was a very good man and will be greatly missed, he should be remembered for all the time he put in for Penn State and not because of what happened near the end. With that being said I have the sex abuse victims in my prayers to recover from what was done to them. RIP Joe Paterno

Good luck today 25 Dime Club!!!!

I'm going with Baltimore Ravens + 7 for the early game. Patriots haven't beaten a team with a winning record all season. Strange with their record, but true. Going to put a little on Moneyline as well.

Going with the New York Giants + 2 For the second game. Going to play them on some reverse line props also. Like them to win by at least a field goal.

The ladies working at the M resort have some talent!!!! If you ever come to Vegas, check it out, sportsbook bar..... mmm mmm good

Good luck to all!

Goodbye, Joe PA. May you rest in peace.

He did all that he felt he should, but it fell upon the deaf ears of his superiors. He remains worthy of respect, in my opinion.

It pains me that classless individuals revel in his passing and lash out with their hateful comments. Joe Paterno should be mourned with respect. Those that are lashing out are idiots. It is they who are unworthy of our respect.

It is another sad day for Penn State. I pray for the healing of all of those who are hurting still from this scandal.

Streaks Survivor New England -7

SFTC- New England by the double d's! I feel that Baltimore cannot match up offensively with the Pats. Also, Tom Brady is far better than TJ Yates, yet Houston nearly defeated the Ravens. I don't know though. That's why they play the games!

Ultimate Race:
New England -7
Anaheim -150
Youngstown State -2.5
Indiana Pacers +5.5

Lean: New York Giants ML

Good luck, sports.
