Wild card weekend Think this is a split weekend, 2 dogs cover and 2 favs cover. Seattle -3
Washington has been in one-day mentality for the past 3 weeks. Seattle has found stride offensively in December and realized they can pass the ball predominantly and win. Bad weather favors Washington; however, Seattle's defense led by Kearney will provide too much pressure on Collins. Only chance Redskins have is to get up atleast 10-14 points early. The Skins cannot come from behind for the W. Jacksonville -3
All the media attention for Jax, Pitt being home dawgs, and weather are all factors that make me feel Jax may not be the lock everyone thinks. That being said, you gotta ride the hot team. The key to this bet will be Jacksonville's wideouts. Can they step up on a big stage? You know the Steelers defense is going to step up and limit Taylor and Jones-Drew, even without TroyP. New York +3
7-1 on the road this year. Defense is disruptive. TB's offense is less than stellar, it just looked good playing in the weak NFC South. This should be a pick'em game. New York by 10. Basically you are betting on with Eli will show up, I feel he's ready. Tennessee +10
This may be a sucker bet. Double digit spread in the NFL playoffs is not norm, especially in the first round. No Young potentially though for Tenn (which might be a good thing) and San Diego has been rolling in the second half of the season. Tenn has the coaching advantage and i give them the defensive edge also. That being said, this reminds me of the KU/VTech matchup. Equal defenses, but one team has the significant advantage on offense. Tough pick, leaning Tenn right now, could change by kickoff though. |
