The
disappointment I feel isn't about losing the game, but for not winning
the game for an 18th straight year for everyone who put their faith in
me.
Not everyone got the first 17 and a lot of people only got #18. It just wasn't meant to be last night.
Need to go see one of
those spiritual people who channel up spirits and ask her to call up
Dimaggio's so I can ask him how he felt inside the day after his 56
game hitting streak came to an end.
If God had come to anyone
20 years ago and said to them, "I will give you 17 straight Super Bowl
winners in a row before you lose your first, but understand the
devastation you are going to feel when you lose your first is going to
be unbearable." Do you want that?
There isn't a soul on the planet earth who wouldn't have taken that deal.
I am a realist and I knew
at some point it was going to come to an end but to have to cross that
bridge sooner than later is something I just didn't think would happen
today.
Not with the Colts, not with Peyton Manning, not last night.
Up 17-16, with the ball
at the Saints 32, having just picked up a 4th and 2, just over 12
minutes to go in the game, you just expect the Colts to go in there and
score, go up 24-16, watch their defense get the stop and then Peyton
closes out the game.
It's what the Colts do.
What I handicapped them to do. What I've seen them do countless times
before but on this night I saw them run for 2 yards and then 2
questionable play calls on 2nd and 3rd down led to the missed field
goal and GAME OVER.
I guess when destiny
decides to back a team, back a city, you don't go against that and it
was just destiny for the Saints to win last night and as I found out
the hard way, you can't beat destiny.
Tough pill to swallow believe you me.

never followed Lang... i know he gets bashed all the time...
but this paragraph right here proves that he is a better capper than 99.9% of the people who post around these parts...

he just related to what happened in the game, at a particular time , and the results didnt go like he expected, , how does this make him a good handicapper, or to use your quote better than 99% of the people who post , what did that paragraph prove ? that he knows how to make excuses .

proves nothing... paragraphs like he wrote are posted in the NBA forums every night... "Well if Wade didn't try a behind the back pass with 6 seconds left...", "If the Cavs wouldn't have rested on their laurels and let the Knicks get back within the spread"... Lang is doing the exact same thing after a loss...
Is his record ATS??? I find that very hard to believe. Is it documented? Is his SB record the only reason his name is thrown around on here every night? Even with straight up picks, I can't imagine he picked the Giants over the Pats or the Pats over the Rams.

how does this prove that he's a better capper...it only proves that he's as square as lots of people thinking Manning and the Colts will be all over the Saints. He failed to accept the fact that the Saints D actually had a good game plan against Manning and that Manning, after all, still human and the Colts' D was not up for the challenge.
By making such a statement, you, sir, should be in categorized in that so called "99.9%" and BTW, I consider Lang as a fool just like those so called 99.9%.

it proves that he broke down the game exactly right... at 17-16 with Manning having the ball in the 4th quarter inside the 30 yard line... as a Saints backer, you were in really bad shape, based on what usually happens in that situation...
he capped the game right!

i wonder about this, too... as far as i am concerned, his streak on SB winners is only as big as it is documented to be... which is maybe 2 or 3 in a row... so i don't care about that part... but what i do see is that he capped the game right...

A few years from now, when the game is looked back on, it will not matter if Peyton was up 17-16 and going for the jugular, yada, yada, yada...........
All that matters is who gets the cash.

I
have only lost this game twice in over 20 years in this business.
Nobody can touch that. Nobody can match that. Nobody even comes close to
that.
And there isn't a single ounce of doubt when this game
ends Sunday night it will go to 18-2-2. That is how much I love this
game.
It's the 2nd largest of my career off the 1,000 Dime Move on the Steelers moneyline over the Seahawks.
I
have had nothing but 100 dimers which includes the 100 dime super bowl
winner their last super bowl meeting and this play is twice as strong as
that release.
Twice as strong as a predicted 11 1/2 point
underdog I said would shock the world and win the whole game outright?
You bet your ass it is.
Quick question for you.
What has changed since 2007 that leads anybody to believe the outcome of this game will be any different?
First and foremost, the Patriots defense has gotten worse and Eli Manning has gotten better.
That in itself makes the Giants the right side again.
New England isn't going to ride the 2nd worst defense in the NFL to a Super bowl title. Just not going to happen.
If
Joe Flacco can roll into cold New England with that limited offense and
shred the Pats defense to the tune of 22 for 36 for close to 300 yards,
what do you think Eli is going to do indoors on a fast track?
Don't
get me wrong, the Patriots will have some success on offense but it
will be their defense's ability to get a few key stops in the 2nd half
that will be the difference in the ball game.
Now here are some
more reasons why I love the dog in what will push my #1 super bowl
record in the world to 18-2-2 for my career.
I am the greatest super bowl handicapper that ever lived and I prove it again Sunday.
Analysis
It's all about little brother putting on a show in big brothers house.
This game Sunday isn't about Bill Belichick. It's not about Tom Brady. It's not about the New England Patriots.
It's about Eli Manning.
If you think for one second the 2nd worst defense in the NFL is going to stop him, then you are highly mistaken my friend.
They
couldn't rattle him in 2007 when they were the better team and
undefeated with a defense featuring Junior Seau, Teddy Bruschi, Vrabel
and Rodney Harrison.
You think this 31st defense is going to rattle him? Come on now.
The Eli the Patriots saw in 2007 and the Eli they are seeing on Sunday is about as different as Rex Grossman and Joe Montana.
There is no way the Patriots defense is going to play well enough to shut down Eli and win this game. Not going to happen.
A
team with a defense ranked this bad overall is not going to win the
Super bowl. It can't happen and it won't happen and are you ready for
the reason why?
The Patriots ended the season ranked 31st
defensively against a schedule which saw them face just 3 playoff teams
all year long....Denver, Pittsburgh and Giants.
So against a
bunch of losing teams you still ranked almost dead last defensively in
the NFL. Juggle that around in your head for a minute, you have time.
Big deal the Patriots have won 10 games in a row since losing that regular season matchup back in early November to the Giants.
Allow
me to take a moment in listing for you the 10 QB's the 31st ranked New
England defense has faced leading up to this game Sunday:
Mark
Sanchez, Tyler Palko, Vince Young, Dan Orlovsky, Rex Grossman, Tim
Tebow, Matt Moore, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tim Tebow and Joe Flacco.
Just digest those guys for a moment. There isn't one guy above there that can carry Eli's jock right now. Not one.
Now,
I take it one step further for you. Throw Tebow out of the mix and
feast your eyes on the numbers these guys put up on this Patriots
defense:
Sanchez 20 of 39 for 306 yards, Palko 24 of 37 for 230
yards, Young 26 of 48 for 400 yards, Orlovsky 30 of 37 for 353 yards,
Grossman 19 of 32 for 252 yards, Moore 16 of 32 for 281 yards and
Fitzpatrick 29 of 46 for 307 yards.
And as I said above, Flacco in the playoff game 2 weeks ago went 22 of 36 for 306 yards.
Come
on now. Vince Young goes for 400 yards! Orlovsky 353! Sanchez 306! You
want to trust your money with that defense be my guest. NOT ME!
It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Eli goes for over 400 yards on Sunday. Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
So
I say to you again, against teams and QB's that aren't even close to
Eli Manning, your defense, ranking almost dead last made some of these
guys look like all-pro's.
Can you imagine if the Patriots had seen Aaron Rogers or Drew Brees?
Folks, both teams are going to score in this game, hence the reason I have come with a free play on the Over.
The difference in this game will be the Giants defense and their ability to get the stops necessary to deliver the win.
Tom
Brady is a good NFL quarterback and if given time to throw, he becomes
great., just like Elway, Montana, Aikman, all the greats.
You get
pressure on him, as the Giants did in 2007 and the Ravens did 2 weeks
ago, Brady gets rattled just like any other QB in the NFL.
How does 22 of 36 with 2 INT's at home against the Ravens suit you?
The
key to the game in 07 was the fact the Giants were able to get pressure
on Brady with their front four thus allowing them to drop 7 into
coverage. They will be able to do that again.
They beat them in
New England earlier this year because they were the better team and they
will beat them indoors in Indy because they are the better team.
They
beat the Patriots the first time without Hicks and Bradshaw, two huge
key components in this G'men offense and they are back playing well.
I've
always said the Patriots and Belichick are an overhyped machine and I
also said Brady and Belichick will never win another super bowl
together.
You look at their Super bowl wins and they pulled off
the upset of the Rams while getting taken to OT by Jake Delhomme and the
Panthers and allowed a backdoor to the Eagles on a poor performance by
McNabb.
They have not been dominant in any Super bowl and they won't be dominate here. They will be dominated.
Lastly,
Tom Coughlin and his staff coached circles around Belichick the last
Super bowl meeting between these two and he will do it again as he
cements his place in Canton, Ohio.
Congratulations to Mr.
Couglin, to Eli Manning the MVP and the New York Giants as they bring
the hammer down on the Pats legacy in a fantastic Super bowl win.

Mr. Lang's writeup on the game:

17-2-2 speaks for itself.
