i'm about to wager , what i call , christmas cash on a football game this weekend .

This is a trap game, don't do it. Call it the Steve Slaton/Matt Schaub factor, I just don't have a good feeling about this one.

Houston beat GB, at Lambeau last week. They're high on the future right now, homefield gives them 3 automatically.

Hippo : trap game ?

that sounds suspiciously similar to the old "organized crime game of the week" .

find it hard to believe that the texans stay within 10-14 , here .

do you have a better game ?

I like the Jets (-7.5) to get back on track at home vs Bills. But I'm not the one bettin Christmas cash. Momma's been known to go without a gift because of my stupid betting.

Hippo :
i suspected that we had more in common then just the BIG .

your wife and mine could be sisters .

can't tell you how many times we've sat in the car outside of the store , waiting for an up-dated broncos / pats score before going in to do our shopping .

nowadays , those 3-500 $$ dollar bets are more like 10 - 50 $$ .

still , to this day , i don't know why she's remained with me .
she deserves much better .

You should put that on a Hallmark card and tape it to your forehead. Honey, I'm home.

Hippo :

giants +3 here ?

[BigFatHippo]

Yes, I can see Romo having a horrible night, hesitating too much on every throw because of all the controversy surrounding TO.

You can't stay in the pocket too long against that Giants front line, bam, you're sacked.

Giants-34
Cowboys-21
