So each week we bet “play” money on a few games. For our rules please see our first Pong A Long Picks Post.
We are on a serious playoff winning streak, and are stepping up our bets a bit this week seeing as only two game will be played. the Pats/Chargers game is just too close to call, so we bet heavy on the Giants/Packers game.
New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers
Our hope is for flurries/snow/ice and a low scoring game, as we did not hedge our bets at all this week. If the game is high scoring and pass friendly we are toast. Our bet is that the game will be a bruising ground battle in single degree weather and our bets show that.
New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers - UNDER 41 points
Come-on snow and wind! We are hoping for the Ice Bowl part II and not alot of scoring.
Risk US$ 40.00 to win US$ 36.36
Ryan Grant Rushing Attempts - OVER 22 carries
If the Packers get the lead this should be a lock, this former Giant should be the workhorse for Green Bay. With the cold weather and the performance last week, this should be a lock.
Risk US$ 15.00 to win US$ 12.00
Brandon Jacobs Rushing Attempts - OVER 15.5 carries
If the Giants want to win in the cold, their best bet is to pound it out on the ground and use their big bruiser. However, Jacobs has the potential to get hurt doing just about anything so this could be a mildly risky bet.
Risk US$ 30.00 to win US$ 24.00
New York Giants vs. Green Bay Packers
This could be the worst bet in the history of Pong A Long Picks. Taking the Giants outright vs the Pack at Lambeau seemed impossible, so we took it. We want the Packers to win, so at least this would make us happy if they lose. Hey, the Giants have won their last 8 road games right? An awful, awful bet.
Risk US$ 15.00 to win US$ 40.50
Overall Risk $100.00 to win $112.76
[…] Championships were just another playoff weekend, and another winning week for Pong A Long. Seeing that we built our bank account up to $242.77 from the measly $48.60 that we had on Week […]
