Okay Proud, I said trash...but not that much of it. lol. Don't u have to pay some dough for those Vegas prediction? Beside would it be fun to just go along with somebody else's prediction. I don't know most of the folks around here, but I can say that AX is a good analyzer. I have seen ur reasonings as well so know for sure u don't follow the predictions (nothing wrong with that but still). As for me these are the factors I look: 1. Team's overall record 2. Major injuries 3. Offensive match up, Rushing and Passing yds for both teams 4. Defensive match up, Rushing/Passing yds of opponent 5. Home/Away team (ofcourse advantage to home) 6. Performance in last 4 matches (downward or upward trend) Above are my major criteria in the correct order. Other things such as momentum, team build-up, coaching style of the match up etc factor in as well when the match up is really tight. Now as far as a Nepali girl knowing these stuffs..hasn't Kanchi proven that already? Fun to have competition, proud, Boston and NY always had the rivalry remember? Brings up the respect factor.
