[QUOTE=Old School;16700]IMO, Fezzik is the champion of the NFL. I am 6-16 going against him. He's won two straight Hilton contests.
It's fun to win the big games, but, there is a lot of luck in these games. What if the on-sides kick was recovered by IND? Shooter also kicked my ass. Without the fat-and-happy CBB system, it would have been a losing year for us. Still, a winning year, and time to get drunk![/QUOTE]Amen to that (everything you said), old school, I don't think anyone will disagree. Overall it was a losing season for dog bettors, like myself.
I had Indy -4 and started second-guessing myself (thinking about a NO's ML and a PS/over parlay) as the big day approached--but the line went down instead of up so I was stuck. The only thing I got right (after the coin toss) was when I told my friend that I had a bad feeling--don't know why, but probably because the Saint's knew they (Indy) were in pass mode--that Peyton was going to throw a pick. Two plays later...pick 6 and my bet throughly down the drain.
However, the "no overtime" prop was in real jeopardy until then.
I'm not a bridge jumper kind of player--and that type of situation justified it. Sooner or later it will happen (I'm surprised it hasn't already!). But then again luck goes in streaks. Who would've thought the NFC would win 13 straight coin tosses??
Good call on the Saints and keep up the hard work,

P.S. The Drew Brees moment with his 1-yr-old kid after the game with watery eyes was a true "Kodak moment."
