Wildcard Weekend Leans

Always some goofy games in Wildcard weekend.

I realize the Bengals got hammered yesterday, and I like a dumbass fell for the 10 points.  Its alright though.  I think I have a good gauge as how this week might go.

Saturday Leans:

Cincinnati -2.5

Sanchez on the road first playoff game.  Mistakes are gonna be made.  The Bengals get a lot of pieces back this week on defense that make a humongous difference, especially upfront.  Domata Peko is a great run stopper.  Geathers might be our best pass rusher plus does well against the run.  Having Crocker back is going to make a huge difference in the secondary.  Benson will play. 

17-10 Bengals. 

Philadelphia +4

Another team that got spanked.  I didn't watch much of the this game.  I think Philly at least keeps this one close and probably will win.  I think Andy put his team out their last week and really didn't show much.  Just my opinion

24-21 Eagles

Sunday Leans:

Baltimore +3.5


Probably going to go large on this play.  I think the Ravens get it done here.  Seeing a 3 point game either way.  Once again I have yet to make a play on any of the games just leans and thoughts at this point.  Wouldn't actually mind a little bit of discussion on a few of these games this week.

Baltimore 24
New England 27

Arizona -135

Kind of like that ML number.  If I play dogs most likely will be on their ML's as well.  I think Arizona wins but the way that Green Bay has been playing its about impossible to bet against them.  But again I think Arizona pretty much new their fate before this game and kinda didn't show much. 

Arizona 26
G.B 24

Good Luck everyone.  Go Bengals of course. 

Looking at numbers now for AFC/NFC Conference winners, and Superbowl winning numbers as well.  For some futures. 

I like them all except Packers BOL whodeys

Your saying you like the Packers to win?

never mind I like them all sorry about that

Its alright man, I think that Arizona wins. 

check out my leans and leave your opinion if you would please

Cincy

........gl .....feeling the Cincy play

Who Dey! I like your picks except for our Bengals.. Man our offense has SUCKED the past 5 weeks or so... Last night I truly believe our offense was trying the first quarter, and we got killed in the trenches on both sides.... I don't think we can win in the trenches after one week of work and that's where you win/lose games at.. I'm on Jets +3 (hook).

Good luck and Who Dey!

I think GB wins. IMO they have a better D and O.

like them all but AZ

Balt ML
GB ML
PHI ML
Cincy -2.5

Offense looked pretty damn good against San Diego.  I do believe our play calling was pretty vanilla.  The Jets threw everything they had at us man.  I'm honestly not that worried.  Everyone else is in panic mode I'm sure as hell not.  Think we get it done.

Not a bad card Whodey... I would lean as follows using your lines:

CIN -2.5 (2 unit play)
PHI +4 (1.5 unit play) and PHI ML +160 (0.5 unit play)
NE -3.5 (2 unit play)
AZ -2.5 (1 unit play)

I would feel most comfortable to least comfortable as listed above.

Whodey I respect your opinion but you have to be kidding with the "Andy Reid didn't show much" line, right? The Eagles were playing for the two seed and that could mean the NFC Championship Game at home. If they won they might have not even played Dallas again. Listen, they got physically beat up in that game. Case closed. They showed plenty and nothing worked. Did he not show much in the first meeting either when Dallas held them to 16 points? That's the second ranked offense in the NFC and they scored 16 points in two games against the Cowboys. 

I agree that the Eagles may win this week but I'm not buying that logic at all. Philly got their dicks knocked in the dirt on Sunday. There is no other way to say it. Good luck this week.

Didn't see much of the game like I stated earlier.  Maybe they did hold big a bit, or maybe they didn't.  I just can't see the Cowboys beating the Eagles for a 3rd time. 

Loving Baltimore this weekend and am really leaning Phil.  GL buddy

Cincinnati's performance was discouraging

i think vegas set this line at 4 because dallas hasn't won a playoff game in 14 years and it's about to be 15 on saturday. i really feel like the eagles defensive schemes will be good enough

Cincinnati laid down............Very simple gameplan they had vs the Jets.  They didn't want to give anything away, they probably ran 10% of their playbook on offense and defense........Hopefully there is no wind in Cinci because the weather favors the Jets BIGTIME...........Im kind of torn on this game though.  Normally Ide take Cinci but God damn their playcalling was horrible for offense during the year, thats scary.  Plus Sanchez can't throw the ball...........tough pick

Since you didn't see the Dallas game I'll tell you that the story was the Eagles kept shooting themselves in the foot...........3 redzone trips with no points, and because of this the game got out of hand early...........The score should have been 14-14 at one point but instead 17-0.  Eagles had wide open receivers all day, dropped passes, a fumble, a missing center for Philly....Plus Mcnabb missed a couple deep passes that were off the mark............Highly doubt they will fuck up like that again this weekend.........

i have to respectfully disagree on this one. i dont think weather favors anybody in this matchup... sanchez cant throw for shit in bad weather..he even admitted it couple of weeks ago. even rex ryan knoes this and their gameplan is basically run run run. i think the bengals inability to stop the run yesterday was the reason why the jets won the game. but you also have to consider that certain key defensive players were not playing (geathers, peko). this game is kind of hard to pick because cincy's passing offense has definately went to shit after chris henry got injured...and it'll hurt them more if #85 sits this one out. at first my initial lean was cincy but now as im typing this...im startin to feel the jets on this one..lol..i guess im just giving a lil 411

also i dont think the "eagles didn't show much" just because they were playin for the #2 seed and that they are divisional rivals, they know each other so well. the reason why mcnabb missed on those throws are probably because he was being pressured by dallas stout defensive front. jay ratliff is a stud, ware is always a problem for O linemen, anthony spencer is finally coming along and made big plays yesterday. the eagles thrive off rhthym and big plays. jamaal jackson is also out and his absence will make a difference as u saw yesterday. im not hatin on eagles but their defense is also not as great as last year..romo is definately better this year and poised under pressure. austin came out of nowhere and went to probowl. this is a different dallas team ladies, and hopefully their momentum can carry onto the playoffs. people were questionin them "how are they goin to be now that TO is out" or "DALLAS'S DECEMBER WOES" etc etc they won the past 3 games in a row handing the saints their first loss and spanking 2 divisional rivals......so what they gona say now?

To me it seems that everything will fall into place very nicely for the NFC Divisional Round in 2 weeks.

Philadelphia will stun Dallas and play in New Orleans and the Packers will beat Zona and the Vikings will host the Packers in a classic NFC North playoff game.

Just my take
