Wowsers. Went perfect last weekend, as IND could not handle the weather nor Andy Reid’s gameplan to run the ball more than usual & KC’s “D” taking it personal w/all the attacks from the media about being one of the worst in the league. Taking LAC was a mistake. Rivers & HC Lynn got outclassed in the hardest place to win in the NFL. Mistake after mistake & penalty after penalty torpedoed my PHI/NOR Over. That was a sloppy gm from the start. And the final kick in the teeth was normally reliable Adam Vinatieri missing an extra pt to doom my teaser which would’ve easily hit w/the rest. As for this wk, the gms couldn’t be more even, & Vegas agrees setting both hm teams @ the standard 3 pt home fav. I’m hoping for a NOR/KC SB, however as you see below it has a great chance to be the opposite.
Regular Season POW 12-5, Teasers 11-6, GOY 1-0, Overall 49-33-1 (55-35-1 undocumented).
Playoffs POW 1-1, Teasers 0-2, SB 0-0, Overall 2-5.
LAR +3 handled a very good DAL “D” last wk & actually played some semblance of “D”. Key differences from this tilt to their meeting back in Wk 10 will be the absences of Kupp for LA & Rankins, Ben Watson & Kirkwood for NOR. Rankins is key to stuffing the run up the middle, so Gurley & now the resurgent CJ Anderson should have success there. Watson has really faded down the stretch, but it is worth noting that he had 62 yds receiving & a TD in their shootout against LA. Kirkwood was a key receiver opposite Thomas for Brees, until Ginn came back. So w/out both Kirkwood & Watson, Brees’ targets are slim here, which is why NOR took chances on Brandon Marshall & Dez Bryant during the season. Kupp was key to LA’s “O” as well, but McVay adjusted a little last wk by lining Woods in the slot to allow Cooks & Reynolds to get big plays. I believe LA sticks to their newfound punishing run gm & wear down the Saints late & keep NOR “O” on the sidelines, while Goff does just enough to punch their ticket to the SB. For the conspiracy nuts out there, the NFL should have a vested interest in 1 LA team getting to the SB to help that struggling market (I felt it was a major mistake moving 2 teams there, but we shall see).
