4 dogs covered wildcard weekend, don't expect that to happen again this week.......here are the spreads for next weekend:
Saturday:
Atlanta -2.5 (41) at Philly.....(line opened -3 (44)
Pats -13.5 (47) vs Titans......(no line change)
Sunday:
Pitt -7 (41) vs Jags.......(line opened -7.5 (40.5)
Vikings -3.5 (45) vs Saints......(no line change)
IMO, divisional round is much easier than wildcard round.........leans as of now:
Philly ML.......(Atlanta is one & done, I was saying this about the Eagles last week cuz of Foles, & it will happen, but after thiswin.....I think a well rested defense of Philly will give them the win here, Ryan will be running for his life.)
Pats -13.5......(blow out city, Brady & Belichick won't let the story lines affect their performance in their 1st playoff game this year, they unleash their frustrations on the Titans......Mariota will be picked off several times.)
Pitt -7........(Jags were a great story all year, & yes, they have the #1 defense in the NFL, but I think the Vikings defense is much better & well rounded. Pitt hasn't forgotten about the 30-9 beat down the Jags gave Pitt in Pitt as a +7.5 pt road dog......Pitt lost 2 games at home this season, the heart breaker to the Pats which they haven't forgot, & the embarrassing lopsided disaster at home by the Jags.
The Jags are 4-4 SU & ATS on the road......when the Jags won, they also covered, so if you're planning on betting on the Jags, take them on the ML.......but IMO, Pitt will win & cover.)
Vikings -3.5......Vikings beat the Saints in week 1 (29-19).......I remember it well, I bet the Saints +3 & lost.....Payton had the worst offensive calls I've seen from him ever, Saints had the ball 1st & goal 4 times inside the 10 yard line & kicked 4 fgs, that's absurd!
Saints following week lost 20-36to the Pats, a #1 & #2 seeds in this years playoffs......then the Saints won 8 str games, & the rest you know.
The Vikings are playing better than they were 2 years ago with the defense they had. I cringe when I hear Keenums name if I bet them, cuz you would like an all star Qb behind a great defense, but Keenum is doing all the right things all year, this guy is toms better than Brad Johnson & his Tampa defense in 2002 winning the SB.
This game IMO is the toughest to cap, Breed & the Saints are looking for week 1 revenge, & obviously would love to get to the SB, this may be Bree's last chance, he's not getting any younger.
The Saints have a better defense than they had in 2010, at least by the eye test, havent looked at numbers yet......but will Bree's be able to handle the purple eaters defense?
The Vikings are looking to become the first team to host the SB & be in it......hey, last year we had the first overtime in history, so anything is possible.
As of now, I'm leaning Vikings -3.5......& this is the only game I'm uncertain of, the rest above I'm gonna lock in, feel confident.
I also think winner of Saints/Vikings wins the SB
