ksm7 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 hey bad egg and italian hot dog, that one was a freebie, im charging you for my next tip hmmm...no thanks. the dog is fine without the assistance. by the way, the game was even with about 4 minutes left, so the dog stands by his original thought, which was, if you remember, to help you understand why the spread was what it was...

ksm7 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 i gotcha. so what's the spread for the giatns/cowboys game? not the final spread--just the one for when there are 4 minutes remaining your missing the point - you were asking why the steelers were favored by 3 - the dog gave his thoughts - two even teams where home field will automatically give 3 points...are you going to argue that the game wasn't between two eveny matched teams? of course, there are times when a team will lose at home to another team that is equal to them, and there are even times, sit down for this one, that a team that is superior to another will actually lose (that is defined in the sports world as an upset, you can actually look it up, it does happen...)...

Wow, that's a stretch to prove your point. We still most likely would have scored that TD which makes it 19-14, oddsmakers wrong. We coulda blocked that punt, scored,and still scored the Boss TD, 26-14, oddsmakers....whats the word Im lookin for....oh yeah..WRONG. An asteroid coulda hit the field and demolished everything.

You mean the game could've ended 19-12 Ny. They were trying to punt to us from their own endzone after all. Keep in mind, that 2 points doesn't matter. We'd still win by 10 with the spread.

Bottom line is, Admiral was right. nobody is arguing right from wrong...he simply asked why the steelers were favored by 3, the dog provided a reason...if he wants to keep at it for whatever reason, well then, ok...the fact is, the teams were evenly matched teams, the steelers get the 3 point nod becasue they are at home...why you feel the need to lend support for admiral awesome is a tad troubling, but then, you never saw a thread you didn't like...as it stands, you continue to be the message board's answer to the question nobody asked, which does provide for hours of entertainment, at least for the dog...and the dog is grateful for that...

The Bengals could have been favored that week. Were you watching the Browns or even paying attention to what was going on in the league prior to that game. The Browns were pathetic, and the line had a lot to do with their own efforts. If the Browns had played to the level that they had been blown up to in pre season, chances are they would have been favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxi-xxv Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I would assume that those that thought that this spread was fair and see the final outcome must admit that this is a very good win for the team from NY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
