Last week sides went 3-1 with lines on game day. Seattle was a push at +2 on early post.
Totals went 2-2.
I mentioned in last weeks Wild Card game thread, that there were only 4 teams that beat KC this season and that 2 of them were dogs last week. Both covered and the Chargers actually won SU as you know.
This week we have the Chargers remaining as one winner going to New England, who was a winer this season against KC and the Rams as the other winner at home against Dallas. How many team that are now playing who beat KC will be winners again this week?
Here's my take...
Saturday 4:30pm
Kansas City -5.5 over Indy.
Under 56.5
Colts were lucky to play against a team with no offense last week. The Colts really only scored once without help from Houston Mistakes.
Cant bet on a team that was shut out in the second half last week, against a Houston team that had no offense. Colts only put up 21 points and that won't be enough to beat KC as the Chiefs don't punt much and that will limit Lucks opportunities. This is the first team that the Colts are facing with any kind of offense since they started their win streak to make the playoffs.
Indy would have to hold the Chiefs to a season low in scoring to win this and that won't happen in Chief Town.
Also- KC had only 2 games all season where the lined total in the game was over 56 points. They both went over and KC lost them both SU, but they were on the road against the Rams and Patriots.
Play ON KC and Under 56.5
LA Rams -7 over Dallas.
Under 49
Cowboys are 9-0 this season in games where they score 20 points or more. Last week they put up 24 at home against a Seattle team they had only 11 first downs and the Seahawks still covered. Dallas also had the ball for 35 minutes in that game and they played too carefully like they were playing against the clock.
The time of possession will be far less for Dallas in LA and the Rams will score enough to win this even against the improved Dallas defense.
Cant see Dallas scoring anywhere near 24 again and I like the Rams to put up enough to keep this under 49 and cover the 7 against Dallas.
Play ON RAMS and Under 49
Sunday 1PM
Chargers +5 over New England.
Over 47
LA travels back-to-back across the country to face the Patriots. Chargers have been successful traveling to the far east this season, beating Pittsburgh , Cleveland and Buffalo and last week, the Ravens.. Pittsburgh was as good as New England is, but Cleveland was still sorting out their offense. Buffalo was a practice squad game, but still the Chargers traveled and won.
The big change this season is the Charger defense. Its improved enough to compete with NE in this game. I dont know if they can win it, but the Patriots have little defense when compared to what Baltimore had at home last week. That being said, pulls me to the Chargers with the 5 points and if New England cant beat the Chargers secondary, they could lose this SU. Brady has looked a bit slow at moments in some games this season but he's still the best until proven otherwise.
New England will have to put up more than 34 points to win and cover and against the Chargers and that may not happen.
Pats will play the short passing game all day if they cant go deep and that will give the edge to LA.
Play on Chargers and over 47.
4:30Pm
Eagles +8.5 over Saints.
My boy Foles still has it. I Jumped on him late in the season when he got the starting job back, just like last year. They continue to do what they did a year ago. Bears defense was number 1 this season and the Eagles matched up well against them in Chicago. This Eagle defense will give Brees some trouble with this big spread to cover. They are nothing like they were earlier this year when the Saints slaughtered them early this season. Expect a much more competitive game.
I think the Saints could prevail, but I think its decided late.
Play ON; Philly and Under 51
