Line should be Syracuse by 5.5 - 6.5... And they will cover that number too. Give me the home team all day. Perfect spot for an Orange bounceback

I seriously doubt that, in the NFL playoffs, anyone on any team lacks motivation to win in the playoffs. This is the SOLE PURPOSE of your entire season - to make the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. If you're not motivated to be playing now, you might as well go play golf.

Peyton and co by 14+. He's all business this year and Flacco on the road is nothing impressive. Many of Flacco's playoff wins can be more aptly described as Ray Rice wins. Denver takes it 31-17

Train, how's your NFL picking this year? Don't you usually stick to college? Don't mean any offense, i just remember seeing your plays more in the NCAA thread... and usually with MUCH better and more conclusive writeups than simply ' the universe will equal out ' Either way good luck. The only game I'm really in love with this weekend is Den-9. Have them winning by 14+ I'm on the other side of you w/ SF and SEA and as a Pats fan I have a tough time pullin the trigger on Houston. Good luck either way. 7 football games left this season...

He doesn't post them til Friday at 1130/1145 EST, so anyone who tells you them now is probably lying... He hasn't been so hot the last 2 weeks either way, going 2-3 and 1-4. He still gives invaluable advice you won't find anywhere else though.
Based on what he's said this week (I listen to his show every day) I'd imagine his picks would be Denver, SF, ?ATL (speculating), and Houston. And for those of you that care, mine would be Denver as a LOCK, SF, ???, Houston. Good luck either way.

Wrote an article on how sharps / squares have to be in balance to keep the sports gambling ecosystem in check. Check it out if you want.
https://ineedmorefootball.wordpress.com/2013/01/08/sharps-and-squares-the-balanced-sports-ecosystem/ But I wouldn't read too much into the ATL line move this early in the week. You will find action on both sides, ESPECIALLY if the line goes to SEA+3. I always get worried about lines that are -2... Inviting you to take the home fave laying only a field goal! It almost seems too good to be true... I think Sea's corners, plus their better run game make this a loooong game for Atlanta

Why Green Bay Will Lose at SF:
1. GROUND GAME San Fran has a far better running game than GB. They took care of them already this season in GB, and that was without a mobile QB- a new wrinkle GB now has to prepare for. This will limit Aaron Rogers time on the field, and grind clock. 2. O-No O Line GB is 31st in the league, allowing 4.2 sacks per game on the road. Gonna be hard to keep Rogers upright, and with a limited run game, you know they will have to have Rogers throwing often to keep them in this game. 3. Justin Smith? If he does return the way he is supposed to, expect him to make life even more difficult as he is a key asset to 49ers pass rush. Might not get a lot of sacks but he keeps things chaotic and forces QBs to make mistakes. 4. Look to the Past In their previous meeting, GB had ONE offensive touchdown, and it came with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter when the game was well out of reach. The 9ers will be ready for this one, and Harbaugh's postseason record at home speaks for itself. My only concerns with this game are Kapernick being jittery as it his first playoff start. GB also gained 324 yards in their loss to SF at home, but failed to put up many points. Rogers will have to be near flawless, cuz this SF offense is nothing like Minnesota's anemic Joe Webb lead team.

After reading this thread I feel even better about my plays this weekend. Den, Sea, SF, NE... But Denver is the best play. Flacco is a disaster on the road, and Peyton has 3 losses on the season... to Houston, NE, and Atlanta. Ever heard of them? Oh wait- they're ALL STILL IN THE PLAYOFFS! Two of those losses came on the road, and ALL of them came in the first 6 weeks, when Peyton was still learning a new offense, with new schemes, getting adjusted to new teammates... Then the bye week happened and who did the Broncos lose too after that? Oh. Wait. N O B O D Y ! Denver for the largest, win this game by at least 2TDs, Ravens will struggle to gain more than 300 yards of offense and their overrated D will not stop the Broncos.

I was more making the comparison to the way people flocked to Tebow when he was heading into the playoffs with no talent... Not to the result. Plus Tebow got a home playoff game vs an old Pitt team. This scenario is quite different.

Get off the "Tebow Train" (yes, i'm comparing Luck and the Colts being in the playoffs to the Tebows of last year). The Colts are a below average team with no run game, no defense, a quarterback who is TERRIBLE on the road, and are facing a team who excels at home, gets their emotional leader back on defense (who doesn't play another game if BAL loses), and feature some guy named Ray Rice (I heard he's pretty good at doing football stuff). Colts cant stop the run. Look what Jamaal Charles did to them last time they played KC. I've got Luck throwing at least 2 picks today when the Colts fall behind early. Expect a lot of scoring from Baltimore in a rockin' house. This game won't be close enough for Luck to pull off a late game miracle. Sorry, but eat the points. Also wrapped Bal and Over in some GB teasers to make this even better. Could you honestly see IND turning this into a defensive struggle, clock controlling game where they run the ball? Negative. Baltimore 34-17. GB was my super-lock yesterday, BAL is today.
If someone cares to give me the winner of Sea/Was however, I'm all ears... My handicap of that game goes like this : Lynch+Wilson+Shutdown Corners+Defense > RG3+Morris+Garcon+No Defense. Sea-3

Chronic that's actually a proven fact... Pre New Years, the Dogs come in all amped up... After New Years favorites tend to dominate. (See New Years Day where the faves went a ridiculous 5-0.) Don't really like either side here but my money would be on FLA. I think the under is the better play but a few turnovers could set up decent field position for either team. Expect FLA to control the clock with their run game though. 27-13 FLA

If Wisconsin was looking to pass a lot it would be the first time all season. They're something like 112th in NCAA passing. They're a one trick pony

Once the nerves settle, this game should slow down a bit... 23-20 final is my call

All that trickery doesn't win bowl games. Go ask michigan that. Long way to go so settle in everyone.

This game is gonna be a LOT more boring than the mich/sc game. Lots and lots of running, and neither team likes to give up much. Gotta love the ground and pound.
