I went on record a day or two ago as saying the Eagles would somehow find a way to win the NFC championship game Sunday. So I should have wagered the money line. But I didn't.I went with Eagles +3.5 points (now down to 3). As a fan, I might feel even worse if The Eagles lose and I still win my wager, but it seems like the better wager to me (than the money line).
+3.5 and +7.5 are traditionally good numbers to have on NFL games, because many games are decided by 3 and 7 points. 3.5 seems particularly strong to me in what I believe will be a defensive low scoring, field goal type game. (watch the Vikings win 38-31). In addition the NFL goes to sudden death overtimes in the post season, so +3.5 points, gets a little extra value.
There is a possibility, maybe a strong possibility, that my heart is influencing my decision and I will be embarrassing myself and throwing away $1100, so I hope nobody is putting too much....make that ANY stock in anything I am saying.
