Monday Night I need help

[NWPATSFAN]

I win $200 tomorrow night if I pick the game right and the guy ahead of me doesn't. The line is NE -7.5. I'm going Ravens unless something changes my mind. I think NE wins but not sure they cover the spread.
Thoughts?

I honestly don't know how NE is getting 7.5 considering how tight these teams usually play each other. I also expect NE to win but I am expecting another nail biter being decided by a last second field goal.

I'd personally go with BALT but I'm not a gambler.

Thanks Sharky. Especially with Baltimore being the #1 D.
Go Pats

Ravens have played all of their opponents tough. Their worst loss was to the Cowboys. They had a four in a row skid that included losses to the Redskins and Jets. Since their Bye week the only wrinkle was to the Cowboys and they've been pretty darn good.

Marty Morningwig scripts the first 15 plays of the game for the offense. If the Patriots defense can 3 and out the Ravens on the their first drive, Marty will be forced to make changes and that is a problem for him. On the other hand, if the Raven take the ball and go downfield and score after 8-10 plays, then that will show Marty all of the weaknesses that he can exploit and it'll be a long night and a very close game.

The first series might be an indicator of the outcome.

How's that tooth infection coming along? Man that's some crazy stuff. Did you have any signs or symptoms you had an infected tooth?

The tooth was a root canal about 20 years ago. The stainless steel post and the top of the tooth are fine. The tooth cracked on the side and if they try to remove the post about half of the tooth will break away and wouldn't be repairable. It has to come out tomorrow morning at 7:30. I actually have to have it extracted in the Cardiac Unit in the hospital under the direction of my cardiologist. This extraction will cost somewhere around $7000. Cardiologist, Anesthesiologist, Oral Surgeon and Cardiac surgical unit and nurses. Just to yank an incisor.
Worst part is that have to walk around with a 2 tooth gap for 4 weeks.

Good luck my friend. I understand your pain. I had a front tooth that got a crack in it. They gave me an implant. I had to run around quite a while with a missing front tooth. Lucky for me I'm so dang good looking no one noticed​

Went to the hospital at 6 this morning. Went up to Cardiac Surgery. Got in my johnny, they put on the heart monitors, started and IV, added some antibiotics. Oral Surgeon came in and made me rinse my mouth with some special antibiotic, sterilizing mouth wash. He went to check with my Cardiology team to let them know I was ready to go. He came back and said everything was on hold. No VA approval for the extraction and the cardiologists did not have final approval for my heart valve.

Cancelled......remove the IV, sign the release, get dressed and call the wife to come get you.

I just spent the past hour on the phone with Senator Jean Shaheen's office. They are pissed because they had to kick some ass to get approvals for my stent last week because someone wanted to hold it up for the VA maximum of 24 days.

So here I am, playing on SportsHoopla instead of reading the paper in the Recovery Room.

Bummer, BigKen. I have had some run ins with the VA over the years but nothing to match the screw up that they put you through. Hope Trump fixes the system like he said he would. Good luck to you.

So sorry to hear man. My wife is a counselor and has had some offers from VA's but all the red tape that she knows she would have to go through and that her client's would have to go through just gives her a headache thinking about it. Hopefully the Senator can get things going and you can begin to put this all behind you and get back to enjoying life to the fullest.
