11/25 8:15 ET At New England -23 Philadelphia 50.5

I know the first number is the points you take off your score, but what's the second number? or just explain it the best you can.

admin answers:

It's the over-under total. For example, Vegas (which sets the lines) says that the total number of points that will be scored in today's Packers-Lions game is 47. You have to determine if the total points scored will be more than ("over") or less than ("under") Vegas' total. So if you put a dime on "over" and they score 50, you win.

Sandy asks…

Betting Lines for the NFL... Your Opinion.?

Please only reply if you know what you are talking about:

the game is Dallas at Seattle: Offer your picks for over/under and offer your opinion on the final score:

Seattle -3
or
Dallas +3

Over/Under: 46.5

Final Score:

Seattle: ??
Dallas: ??

admin answers:

I think the game will be an under with Seattle to come out on top. THey are great at home and have the playoff experience. The weather could also be a factor. Check that out.
Romo is having a nightmare of late, and the Seattle crowd will be LOUD.
Seattle 31
Dallas 10
By the way I am a Pats fan and we would kick both their butts.

John asks…

Historic NFL Betting Line Movements?

I am looking for data on the internet that would have the following information:

NFL 2003, week 12, steelers vs seahawks, opening line=steelers -4, ending line=steelers-5.5
[then the same information for all other games of week 12]
[then the same information for all other weeks of 2003]
[then the same information for all other years (mainly 2002-2005)]

Does anyone know where I could find data like this or if it even exists on the internet?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

admin answers:

Not sure. Why not use an internet search engine to try and find this information?

Jenny asks…

NFL Preseason is here...and so are the betting lines!?

for me, Monday night is poker night, and with the return of the NFL, it's also sports-betting night.

Tonight's match up features the Cleavland Browns and the New York Giants. Game is in New York, and the Giants are a 1.5 to 2.5 point favorite.

What team's gonna bring me home the money?

admin answers:

Well, preseason is difficult to judge and I'm a Browns fan and alot of Browns are sitting tonight so I'd have to go with the Giants laying the chalk.

Sharon asks…

Whats the song to the NFL Commercial?

I seen it on so many commercials which has to do with the NFL. The most recent one is the Verizon Vcast commercial with the chinese dude and he pours water on his head.

The most notable ones is the commercial where FOX shows what sporting events are coming to the station. Like the Superbowl, Nascar, etc.

Finally, the one which everyone seen is the official NFL commercial where theirs the top leagues players from past and present in the background of an NFL logo while the guy is mentioning that the games shouldnt be broadcast unless you get written constent.

if anyone knows this song, please tell me

admin answers:

I'm getting the best answer so whatever

David asks…

What is the song playing in the ESPN NFL commercial?

It's this country song and it's a monday night football commercial. I think the motto is "back to football" or something and it shows a bunch of NFL fans from different teams getting ready to go to their respective stadiums? I think i heard the lyrics "oh-ohhh and it goes onnnn"

That's probably wrong but does anyone know which song I'm talking about?

admin answers:

The song is called "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.

Mary asks…

As soon as the NFL draft ended, what were the odds on the Cowboys being first to sign their #1 pick?

after that, they are now the first to have all picks signed also.

Eugene Parker being a Cowboys fan kind of helps us some - ha ha

admin answers:

Pretty high because they are one of the few teams to start training camp this early. I can think the other one is the bengals. Jerry jones would never let a crabtree situation happen.

Ken asks…

Why are the Eagles stockpiling 5th round picks in this year's NFL draft?

For some odd reason the Eagles keep trading down and not picking in the 3rd and 4th rounds. The Eagles just let L.J Smith go at TE. Yeah they got Celek but he's not a receiving TE. They need a big back and receiver. And they need some db help especially with Dawkins gone. What are the Eagles waiting for. They have 6 picks in round 5. Makes no sense.
agree blinkpar Maclin will definately help out. Donovan and Deshan for sure.

admin answers:

Yeah i totally agree with you here man, im a die hard eagles fan i think they are trying to use the "Patriot Mindset" by looking in the later rounds for sleeper picks, i honestly thought to address there big back problem with Knowshon Moreno but denver picked him up, but they could maybe get a TE in free agency and they got a safety from the Browns to replace Dawkins so maybe he will pan out, i personally think Jeremy Maclin will really help out

Questions About Nfl Combine Drills

Ken asks…

Why are the NFL combine drills not done in uniform?

The NFL combine is an event in which college prospects perform various athletic feats in order to impress NFL talent scouts. However, all of the athletic feats are done in t-shirt and bike shorts. While this is understandable for the 225 pound weight lifting, as it is done on a bench, it is perplexing to me why the 40, the shuttle runs, the three cone drill, the broad jump, the high jump, etc. are not done in pads. These drills are meant to test speed, quickness, agility, etc. But, if I were a football coach, I would not care how fast a guy can run in workout gear. I would care how fast a guy can run, or how high he can jump in a game time situation, when he is encumbered by pads and a helmet. In the game, everything is done with pads on, so why is the combine done in gym gear? If the drills were done in full uniform, it would provide a much more accurate picture of on the field athletic ability, rather than showcasing the theoretical athletic prowess possessed by these players.

admin answers:

I agree..they should.

OK..I get the point of the question. People are so literal!

Sandra asks…

NFL Combine Drills and Tests?

Please explain all of these to me.

DON'T JUST GIVE ME SOME WEBSITE, GIVE ME THE ANSWER!

40-yard dash
Bench press
Three cone drill
Broad jump
Vertical leap
20-yard shuttle
60-yard shuttle
Position specific drills
Physical measurements
NFL team interviews
The Wonderlic Test
The Cybex Test
Injury evaluation

admin answers:

40-yard dash is used to test speed and explosion, players strart from a 3 point stance and runs 40 yds as quick as they can.....a great time can really increase your draft stock this is a timed test

Bench press strength test...wrs and qbs don't do this...you bench press 225 lbs as many times as you can in one sitting

Three cone drill used to test speed,agility and cutting ability
cones are set up in a traingle 5 ft apart, player starts from a 3 point stance at cone #1, runs to cone #2 touches a line, sprints back to #1 touches a line, then goes back to #2 running around it this time and cuts right to the #3, runs around it and then back to the 2nd cone around it and back to the 1st cone. This is a timed test, faster the better if done correctly

Broad jump done from the standing position and person sees how far forward they can jump....used to judge lower body strength

Vertical leap: is done from the standing position, to measure this they start the pole with plastic tips hanging out at the tip of the person's fingertips with his arms stretched above his head while he is standing flat footed, players then jump straight up as high as he can hitting the plastic tips for measurement...this helps judge players like wrs,db,cb when jumping or defending the passed ball

20-yard shuttle: is for lateral speed....player runs again from a 3 point stance 5 yds one direction, touches the line, sprints 10 yds the other direction touches the line and then 5 yds back to the starting position timed test

60-yard shuttle is the same as the 20 yd shuttle by longer and is for speed and endurance. Time test

Position specific drills: are drills specific for what ever position the player plays, its suppose to test the ability to play

Physical measurements : height,weight, body fat, arm and hand length are measured

NFL team interviews: teams can interview a certain number of players its suppose to help test character, football knowledge...etc.....players are so coached in what to say in these interviews its usually doesn't help

The Wonderlic Test: its a time test with 50 questions the more you get right the better, questions are harder farther into the test suppose to test IQ
Suppose to help to see if a player can learn the playbook

The Cybex Test: a machine is use to test flexiblity and joint movement

Injury evaluation : similiar to a physical, plus they look at past injuries and how they have healed

Linda asks…

I need to know what position drills are used for the NFL Scouting combine?

There are descriptions of most of the tests ran at the combine. However, I cannot find a description of the individual drills for each position.

admin answers:

Since the NFL Combine is extremely closed door, the only real answer for that is to contact http://www.nflcombine.net. They have a page for position drills, but it has yet to be updated. So until they do that you'll be in the dark.

Sandy asks…

What is NOT an official drill at the NFL Combine?

is it 3 cone drill, stair climb, 60-yard shuttle or the broad jump? please help me here, please.

admin answers:

The stair climb is not an official drill at the NFL Combine.

Questions About Nfl Channel Live Stream

Robert asks…

Live streaming TV? What is the catch and where can I find it?

I would like to watch TV on my computer, just as it is showing on TV. I bet there is some catch...NO?
Also, (for my son's sake) Where is a good "channel/site" to watch football games that are not on a regular station? I mean on NFL station? (hmmm, maybe I shouldn't ask that one..I may never get my lap top back. hahahaha -But then again...it might just be a good bargening chip!)
Thanks for your help. I am sure I am the last person on earth who doesn't know this info!

admin answers:

Not so sure about the "live stream" but there are lots of cool videos and stuff "from TV sometimes" on youtube.com.

Linda asks…

What channel is the game on. if its not brodcasting can you give me a reliable real website that i can live stream it on. Also it has to be free and requires no download.

Questions About Worst Nfl Scores History

James asks…

Who is the worst team in NFL History to go and play in a Superbowl?

I think that the worst team to go to a super bowl is the 2008 Arizona Cardinals.I mean they were 9-7 and my Patriots were 11-5(didnt even make the playoffs) and we crushed the living day lights out of them in a snowy foxboro game on December 21,2008 47-7.Also the Jets scored 56 points against them also the Philles 48-20.I have never seen a team with 9 or less regular season wins in the Superbowl.

admin answers:

Not even close. 2000/2001 Ravens.

They were ranked 14th on Offense, 20 Passing TDs in 16 weeks - to go with 19 Interceptions, 9 Rushing TDs. If it wasn't for their massive defense this year, they would've finished sub-500.

The 08 Cardinals were Ranked like 3rd in Offensive Points. The Cardinals Defense this year was pretty weak. Probably ranked around 26 if I had to guess.

As far as "Your Patriots" go - beating someone up in Foxboro in the Winter is worth about as much as beating the Lions. Guess it's a shame they got blasted 38-13 by the Dolphins who ran the same play 5 times on them with success isn't it. Don't use the Tom Brady injury as an excuse either - they had a more than acceptable replacement.
Didn't the Jets win in New England in the middle of November in cold, rainy weather too?

Nancy asks…

do you think the Packers sunday 7-3 loss to the Lions is the worst in NFL history?

the final score was 7 to 3 Detroit Lions. if that isn't, what is?
i meant what was the worst score total in a game by any NFL team.

admin answers:

Two or three years ago the steelers beat the dolphins 3-0.

Carol asks…

are the 2006 oakland raiders possibly the worst team in nfl history?

what a joke......."just win baby?" al davis should change his motto to "just score...PLEASE!!" absolutely pathetic team...i hope they go 0-16.

admin answers:

Worse than the '05 Texans, '06 Titans? Maybe. Titans and Raiders will both finish 0-16.

Ken asks…

worst score margin?

can somebody tell me what the worst score margin in nfl history is? if you can, include what the score was and the 2 teams playing. thanks.

admin answers:

The Chicago Bears beating the Wasington Redskins 73-0. The #2 would be The Miami Dolphins losing to the Jacksonville Jaguars 62-7.
