    haha though you are being quite optimistic with that 14 score, when ron dayne becomes a worthy pickup a week before the season starts.

    I'd say more along the lines of 28-3.

    I won't be crying if we lose since it's "expected". However, if we win, I can imagine a lot of Eagle fans thowing temper tantrums image

    I'll be waking up at the crack of dawn, putting the gear into my car, head over to the stadium, and have a Texas-Sized tailgate with all of the food you can eat and all of the beer you can drink. And then, watch my home team open up the 2006 NFL season. Regardless of the outcome, it's a great way to enjoy Sundays image

    I honestly have pity for those who can't personally enjoy what the NFL brings to their town. For those who have a team but pledge their allegiance elsewhere, well, sucks to be you image

    I think the Texans are a VERY live dog at -3.5, and I'll probably be on them. I don't see why they can't win this game straight up. The Eagles are nothing special, and Houston is not a 2-14 team.

    Agreed. Just wish I could make better use of my tickets and get to every game. Work and travel from FL or wherever I'm deployed in the country get in the way. I'll make at least one this year, maybe two.

    Game day in an NFL city is like no other, especially the playoffs.

    You are a true fan. Enjoy the game. Good luck.

    I know you know your online poker Boo but you need to learn sports betting terminology. The FAVORITE gets the "-" not the dog. Bodog has the game at Texans +5 1/2 which I think is about right. Dogs often come out psyched for the first game of the season and sometimes play above their heads until reality sets in and down the line they windup playing to their talent level. But that can never be accurately predicted when - could be during this game or could be in one or two games.

    Quite allright if you still think online poker can be beat, even though it can't, but I can at least understand that way of thinking. You are completely out of your mind if you think sports bookies can be beat. Sure you can win a game or a few but in reality sports betting is playing random numbers with the juice grinding out all bankrolls - just a question of when. Who the heck really knows if the Texans are a live dog or not? - but it is fun to share our opinions!

    It's all random numbers and occurances based on how the ball bounces - and the bookies have this oddsmaking down to a science not an art, and nobody could ever beat them and nobody will ever beat them. The bookies are uncanny at overall getting equal betting action on favorites and dogs throughout the season, and I do look at websites like Bodog to get an indication of who the winner of the game might be. Certainly at +5 1/2 the Texans do have a chance to win, but no better or lesser chance than any other dog anywhere, anytime at +5 1/2. Sports betting truly is a sucker's game - plain and simple.

    As you know I don't gamble any longer because for one reason, guys such as Calvin Ayre already have enough money - he doesn't need any more and he's not getting any of mine. But I never rooted against a gambler in my life so if you bet the game of if anyone else bets then best of luck. Frankly, I'd rather get my adrenaline rush sports thrill talking some smack here and having fun that way rather than p*ssing my money away to some stinkin' sports bookie.

    Another Sports Talk forum "kiss of death" pick.

  • Texans actually showed up today and looked good in the first half. They could have given the Bucs a lesson.

    Took some time for the Eagles O to figure out the defense.

    Eagles looked good, a balanced attack. The running game wasn't fantastic, but fit in with the scheme. Stallworth looks very good.

    Wow, did McNabb really throw for more yards than the Sucs O combined? Almost twice the total Sucs yardage.

    Another banner day for Chrissy "Not That There's Anything Wrong With That" Simms - 133 yards, 3 ints. Get a QB Tampa Bay!!!

    How bad are the texans?

    They allow Mark Brunell to set a NFL record of 22 straight completions, they look completely helpless on defense, and they allow the previously winless Redskins to mop the floor with them.

    I'm simply posting truths stownie.

    Brunell set an NFL RECORD 22 *straight* completions against the texans today. The redskins offense looked unstoppable, and the texans' defense looked completely outclassed.

    Yeah, it really sucks to have a team in the playoff race. Guess when you jump on the Mariners bandwagon, you don't know what it feels like.

    You say something like that yet call out other posters not being "fans"?
