Essentially fading the two teams that had to play the wildcard round, and who have to go on the road probably a little more banged up than their home counterpart (especially SD!).


Packers -6.5 -114 vs Giants - 4 Units
Pick a winner, so if Eli Manning wins 3 straight road playoff games, with the last one being in Lambeau field against Farve....then I'll tip my hat to the guy....I just don't see it happening. Seems to be destiny this year that Farve and Brady will meet in the SB....and I think #4 carves up the banged up Giants secondary to get the win, much like he did the the week 2 blowout. Also, the way Grant is giving them a more balanced offence, I like the Pack to roll big behind the experience of Brett running that offence. Eli has played well lately, but these last few performances have been played in good weather conditions...before that, during some of his struggles this year, Eli has blamed it repeatedly on adjusting to cold weather conditions. In Green Bay next weekend, it's expected to be well below freezing (of course). We gotta be due for a couple tailor-made Eli screwups and turnovers....what better place that Wisconsin in late January in the biggest game of his career? Eli was horrible in the only 2 games he's played where the temp has been under 40 degrees...that Washington game where he went like 18 for 52 being the best example....afterwords he blamed his performance on the "cold". If he thinks that was cold....wait until it's like 8 degrees with sideways snow at Lambeau on Sunday...

NFC/AFC Teaser: Pats -7 + Packers PK - 4 Units
Decided to put this one in early as well once it got down to 14, even though the money is coming in on SD early, I doubt it moves much under 14... and I think one of Rivers, LT or Gates might be listed as out or doubtful during the week, which might move the line over 2 TDs again, and I don't want my NE part of the teaser to be Over a TD. I don't see how the injured Bolts will be able to keep up with NE, after a tough game against the Tenn defence, then an emotional victory over Indy on the road where they were dropping like flies. Now they have to go on the road again, cross country, and beat maybe the best team ever? No way. With your 2 best players and QB less than 100%? Expecting SD to beat Indy and NE on the road in consecutive weeks when not at their best is asking a bit much you would think. With the teaser it's pick a winner, and the Pats are my team in this matchup with two healthy teams...and we don't even have that.

Riding the experience of Farve and Brady to the Super Bowl in two pick-the-winner scenerios... Plus, both road teams are playing their 3rd playoff game, where the home teams had a bye. Both road teams also playing 2nd consecutive away from home (with SD travelling back and forth to the West coast and NY on their 3rd straight roadie). All things point to the NFL getting their wish, and having a Farve/Brady matchup IMO. (speaking of that, the refs might even help, lol!) I'm just banking on them covering a TD, as we know happens most of the time.



GL Everyone
