I too am rooting for the Vikings.

The game last night was one of the most disgraceful games I think I've ever seen. Two players being knocked out cold (one on each side) with helmet to helmet shots, one looking intentional. Ben going down and  Cincy fans cheering his injury and throwing shit while he is being carted off.

Fuck the Bungles.

Yeah, the only bright spot is that they lost.  Unfortunately, one of the exciting and dangerous teams in the playoffs is now seriously hindered.  Advantage: Patriots.

I saw the hit at the end of the game, terrible. Didn't know about the fans cheering and being cunts when Ben got injured, that is terrible

I cant decide whether I'd prefer playing the Steelers or Denver. Though, I think the pats will go to the Superbowl in any matchup.

Gotta be Steelers because their defense is not comparable to Denver's no?  Antonio Brown is in the concussion protocol and Ben will not be 100% even though he is likely to play.  Sounds like they will be lame ducks in Foxborough.

They're both fine, playing up injuries. Though, I still expect Payton to choke in the likely event the patriots make it that far, and we play Denver. Though he could shit his pants early against the Steelers

ESPN reported that Ben has a sprain and torn ligaments in his shoulder.

Anything less than a Seahawks/Patriots rematch is unacceptable to me.

Sean... Pats are -5 at -110 this weekend. I'll give you the -5 at +200. Minimum $100 wager. So you get 2-1 on the points...

We have been over this... Vegas has Pats favored by 5 at -110. So you'd have to bet $110 to win $100 (plus your original $110 wager back). I'll give you the same bet at +200. So, if you bet $100 and they cover at -5, you win $200 (plus your original $100 wager back). Ties push, so a win of exactly 5 means no one gets anything.

Sean owes me hundreds of dollars from previous wagers. I'm giving him a chance to break even.
