Finished up the regular season very well...very happy with where I am in the NFL...if only some of that could transfer over to the NBA!!

Great Wild Card matchups up and down the board, plenty of places for money as well.

BOL to everyone!!

CINCINNATI VS. HOUSTON OVER 42.5  (2.2 to win 2)

Really tough matchup to figure out here...which teams will show up?  Is it the Houston that rolled through the beginning of the season?  Or the Houston that pooped their pants in December?  The Bengals are on a hot streak heading into this one, but they are getting a lot of high expectations for a team that hasn't won a playoff game in 21 years.  I see the Texans getting out to an early lead behind Andre Johnson and some big passes...then riding Arian Foster the rest of the way for a few scores.  Both teams should be in the 20's in this one.

Prediction:  Texans 27  Bengals 20

MINNESOTA VIKINGS +8  (1.1 TO WIN 1)

The running game of Adrian Peterson will keep this close enough the entire way.  The Vikings know what they have to do, and very rarely stray from the gameplan.  Aaron Rodgers is a beast, especially in the playoffs...and I don't doubt that the Packers will win the game, but 8 points is a bit much to lay against a divisional opponent that has rushed the ball so effectively against you.  Rushing and defense is something that never goes out of style, whether you are indoors or outdoors...and the Vikings win both of those categories.

Prediction:  Packers 28  Vikings 23

What do you think of Vikings@Packers?

I want to pound Packers -7.5, but I'm not convinced yet.

CMJ, I hope your luck turns around (primarily in NBA since I haven't followed you in football this season).

I hope you win both of these. I also have a question: which of these two teasers would you bet - gun to the head?

let's assume you like the other three selections just as much as the Texans and the Vikings

1) BOOKMAKER

+3.0 HOUSTON Texans
+14.5 MINNESOTA Vikings
+14 INDIANAPOLIS Colts
+10 WASHINGTON Redskins
-5.0 MARYLAND Terps

TIES PUSH at +325

2) 5DIMES

+3.0 HOUSTON Texans
+16 MINNESOTA Vikings
+15 INDIANAPOLIS Colts
+10 WASHINGTON Redskins
-6.0 MARYLAND Terps (ncaa)

TIES WIN at +295

I like Vikings to cover, but Packers know they will need to put 8 in the box to stop AP.  If Vikings ride AP to win, it'll be a slow ground game and the over doesn't look good.

I'm concern that Ponder isn't good enough with the passing game to keep them in the game if Packers decide the game play is to make Vikings pass.  Stats show Ponders doesn't have the passing game down.

Didn't know Ponder was going to be out of the game, which obviously would have changed the pick...and the damn Texans/Bengals game was a field goal fest.  Moving on to Sunday

Indianapolis vs. Baltimore UNDER 47  (2.2 to win 2)

Just don't think there is going to be that much offense in this game.  Colts are more than likely distracted with Arians being hospitalized.  Ravens defense will be electric.

Prediction:  Ravens 23  Colts 17

Baltimore vs. Indy UNDER 23.5 2nd Half  (1.1 to win 1)

Trying to double dip here...both offenses are struggling...and I think there is 23 points at most in the 2nd half...so I love that extra half point

Both offenses started to move the ball late in the half.  If Rice doesn't fumble in the red zone and Lewis doesn't drop that gift wrapped INT, then this game would be looking like the OVER instead of the UNDER.  Your game UNDER looks great, but the second half could go OVER and you still win.  Good luck!

Like I said...if it was 23 points I would have laid off.
