I haven't really started looking at the games yet, but I tend to agree with you on this one. You know college is so different from pros. In college games, the good teams play better in the end of the season before the bowl games. Try to run up the score, get stats and stuff. But in pros the better teams tend to slow down, rest players, don't risk injuries, etc. Carolina is still fighting for a playoff spot. I think you might be right on this one.

Atlanta is 10-3 and 6-1 at home. They are only favored by 3 points, which is what you give a home team in the first place. So basically the bookies are saying it is a push on a neutral field. Mid season, this would be Atlanta all the way.

Tempted to use that same logic and take the Giants at home against Pittsburgh. Damn, take NY and get 10 points at home. Tempting.

I dunno about the Giants.. but Atlanta has done all they can do. They have a first round bye.. they can't catch the eagles for homefield... so I am guessing practice was light this week and Mora isn't going to risk injuries...


Jake is a competitor also. He will kick some ass this week.
