If he won, all I had to do was admit that I had been wrong since 1988 - if I won, he had to shave his head. If there are any questions as to who won that bet - I can, still to this day, safely say that I haven't been wrong since 1988. Having said that, Jeff brings up a lot of excellent points, but everyone should follow one important rule - never bet on your team, or if you do you need to seriously take an objective point of view. Had Jeff taken this advice - he wouldn't have had to look goofy with his head shaved. ;) Ok ok, Jeff is a die hard 49ers fan – he once bet me (before the football season started) that the 49ers would go to the superbowl that year.

With Big Ben moving slower than Drew Bledsoe in his 40's and Mendenhall out for the year you have to see a low scoring game. If Denver can get any kind of pass rush going we have an under Giants win this game straight up, Falcons are pretenders. Rest easy with a bet on the giants, use them in a parlay or tease you like this weekend. It will be a close game for the Texans and Bengals, both D's play well and they both have to stop just one weapon (Foster and Green). Bengals dont defend the run/Foster/Tate better than Wade schemes for Green, take the texans to win. If Jake Delhomme plays bengals win by 14+ (yes he's that terrible). I agree with the over Risky but great payoff bets
