Is it too late to set up an AJ vs Supermike PPV for the game?

The largest spread in NFL history is actually Sandy Sullivan's legs.

Can't wait to see the Jets and Dolphins spread both open at over 30.

Just wish I could have gotten in when the spread started at 17.

Instead of wondering how AJ Feeley will handle the Patriots, think about how the Patriots will handle AJ.

Can't wait to see the Jets and Dolphins spread both open at over 30.

Isn't "over 30" when they hit their peak anyhow?

Most I've seen it is 22.5.

The only way for the Eagles to win is to spike the Pats gatorade with some of Garrett and Britt's stash.

I thought 23.5 was the over/under for years after birth before a child of Andy Reid introduces him/herself to sweet lady H.

And don't forget AJ Feeley beat the Patriots with the Miami Dolphins. Beating them with the Eagles should be simple.

Keep talking shit Daulerio. As a South Jersy native myself(representing Burlington County), I also have a hatred of Boston. The Patriots don't unnerve as much as the Red Sox, which is a team filled with guys with bitch nuggets.
Go Eagles and Phillies!

There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes. There goes my Daulerio.

The Lord giveth (the Flyers are doing well, J-Roll wins the MVP)...and the Lord taketh away (the Sixers continue to be the Sixers, the Eagles are 30-point underdogs to the Pats).

It's really great to be a Philly sports fan.

Maybe the Eagles can ask Freddie Mitchell to do a pre-game pump-up video.

@Gourmet Spud: If they want to follow suit from teh Bills and have the resident team cripple do it, just ask McNabb.

@How do you spell retard?: Myers better not see your handle, lest he punch you in the face. +1.

Thank God this is the NBC Sunday Night "flex" game. Maybe Andrea will actually try to blow Brady in the post-game interview.

@PQ Crash: That's what I keep telling my dates, but they don't seem to believe me.

Not that it matters, but this game was originally scheduled as a Sunday Night game, and not the result of flex programming.

I think the Patriots will struggle in this game.

By that I mean they will only score on their first 5 possessions.

Here's how the Eagles will win: During halftime, someone will lock John Madden in a closet and hypnotize him into thinking Tom Brady is a turducken. Tom can't play QB with his leg chewed off, can he?

@luol dang: Taking the under is the safest bet I've ever come across.

Once again, its not running up the score until the Pats play the Jets. Then it most certainly is running up the score.

Fuck this. No way my Birds have a larger spread than Buffalo. (Whatever, we're still gonna lose 65-14.)

@TheStarterWife:

Supermike: I was just hoping you might give me some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the southern colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War, the economic modalities, especially in the southern colonies, could be most aptly described as agrarian precapitalist.

The Balls: Of course that's your contention. You're a first-year grad student; you just got finished reading some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably. You're gonna be convinced of that 'till next month when you get to James Lemon. Then you're going to be talking about how the economies of Virginia and Pennsylvania were entrepreneurial and capitalist way back in 1740. That's gonna last until next year; you're gonna be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood, talkin' about, you know, the pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.

Truly, AJ, you are the balls.

Christ we're gonna get crushed this weekend...

My thought as an Eagles fan is, if they're going to trounce you no matter what, make it as miserable for them as possible.

the Buccaneers were 24-point underdogs to the Steelers in their first season, and lost 42-0. That season, Tampa Bay beat the then-St. Louis Cardinals. They were not the Buzzsaw then.

I call bullshit on the "woe is me, I'm a Cardinals fan" thing here. Tampa Bay was 0-14 that year. They did not beat the then-St. Louis Cardinals.

Also, if the Eagles just say "fuck you, we forfeit," by NFL rules that Patriots only win by a score of 2-0. That would pretty much fuck the spread and make a lot of people miserable, which is just as good.

@Kid Canada: That was inspired.

@TheStarterWife: I'm in.

i'm personally laying the points on this... I think the pats will win by 4 tds. the eagles are decimated right now and might not score a td, so a 31-3 outcome is possible. under (50), but covering.

Someone has to die.

/eagles fan

@Chamomiles Davis: That would be awesome.

how could you bet against the pats?

How awful must they be if this rant is coming from a computer-pisser?

I took a prop bet last week of NWE at +35.5. 23.5 amuses me.

And apparently Tom Brady wants to kill some people.

BREAKING NEWS: PATS SCANDAL!

Reports are surfacing that the Pats have been playing all season with the difficulty set to "Rookie". The Eagles have issed a statement demanding that the Pats use the crappy controller that got thrown at the wall or they're going home.

If you all need the Eagles to win, i'll just put all my Christmas present money on the Pats to cover that 24 point spread. God doesn't like me, and the devil doesn't need me.

Is Rodney Harrison applying a Vulcan nerve pinch in that picture?

The final score will be 48-10. Now we can all move on with our lives.

that's some mighty fine hatin', boys

The Eagles best chance is to replace Andy Reid with Buddy Ryan, and reinstate the bounties offered in the early '90s.

Note: This may require the exhumation of Andre Waters

I think you are right. I seem to remember the Bucs beating the Cards in the Bucs' SECOND season, which I think they started off 0-12, and then ended the season with a two-game winning streak, including the win against the Cards. It was kind of the beginning of the end for the Air Coryell era.@Nye!:

That's why he is the Balls.

So, the commenter named The Boston Faithful at The Balls's Guestblogging is really SuperMike4.2?

Maybe Randy Moss will fail a drug test and Brady will drown when he tries to rescue his reflection from a retention pond.

Seriously though, will some team just triple cover Moss? He's killing my Gridiron Challenge chances at that HDTV.
