This is going to depend on the weather as we get closer. Without precipitation and crazy wind I like the Saints getting more than a TD.

Love the 9ers.

Like the Colts.

I would probably take the Colts at +7. Rest would go with the favorites. Denver will probably stomp the Chargers. Saints might make the game close but I can easily see a 10 point loss there. And yeah, 49ers are the superior team. I would be shocked if Carolina won.

Hard to win by a lot if you don't put up points. Remember what Carolina's defense did to them in SF? 46 passing yards, 151 yards of total offense. Now they get to play them in Carolina.

Remember Crabtree, Patton, and Aldon Smith were out, Manningham was limited at best, and Veron Davis left in the first quarter due to a concussion.

46 passing yards is a just complete domination no matter what the circumstances are. That DL was in the backfield all day long. Manningham had 3 weeks of practice going into that game and played 42 snaps compared to 47 for Boldin. And Aldon Smith has nothing to do with how the 49ers passing offense performed.

Don't like any of those numbers.

And I sure as shite am not taking a West Coast road team favored against a higher seeded East Cost team that beat them soundly earlier in the year.

I bought Panthers up to 3.5 when they were 2.5 and am planning on taking 9ers ML at -135 to try and middle.

I think a Broncos-Pats teaser would be safe

I am taking the Panthers. They are getting no respect and both teams are equal except the Panthers are fresher, have HFA and a better QB. Will probably be a close game, but still the best bet of the weekend no doubt.

I also like the Broncos and feel like they should dominate, but that Charger team is scrappy and has alot of confidence at the moment.

2 units on each of the following:


Saints +8.5 (-105)

Patriots ML (2nd half of ML parlay with FSU) (-140) (2.8u to win 2u)

49ers pk (-110)

Chargers +10 (-108)

Saturday games:

-taking the Patriots.

saw a trend on Walter Football that I liked. Teams that score 40-plus points in the playoffs should be faded; they're 3-21 against the spread in such situations dating back to 1996. BAD NEWS for the Colts who just won 45-44 in an emotionally draining come from behind win at home.

- taking the Saints.

Playoff teams coming off a road win in Round 1 are 10-3 against the spread in Round 2 since 2005.

Seattle hasn't been a very good offense on 3rd down the last three games. Meanwhile, the Saints defense has been on fire getting teams off of the field in their last 3 games on third down.

I think this game will definitely be more of a defensive slugfest unlike last time.

Saints ML

roughly 3* to win 10*

Gonna wait to see if I can get that extra half point closer to game time for +10.

Also tempted to take the O44. It's down from 48.

I think this weather is a HUGE advantage for the Saints.

In the 1st meeting, the Saints got burned by Seattle's passing game (while shutting down Lynch). Seattle's strength defensively is their secondary and that was also the Saints' weakness.

With all this rain and wind, it forces both teams away from that passing game which hugely helps the Saints in this particular rematch. Not to mention, the linebacker who shut down graham in week 13 is out. He was a rangy 6'4". His back up is a flat 6'0" I believe. That will be huge for the short to intermediate routes for Graham.

I really think this rematch favors the Saints. Seattle hasn't been as hot as they normally are as of late and they can be beat at home.

So long as the Saints don't turn the ball over early (like in week 13) and they convert 3rd downs with their run game, that crowd will NOT be in the game.
