playoff looks and plays

ended the NFL season ytd 19-24 +9.65x (posted)

moved and didnt have time to post much but did very well non posted luckily after my bowl plays lol fwiw

The way I see it is the New Orleans Saints have the best road to the Superbowl. Off a bye week they are playing an Arizona team fresh off a shootout where the defense gave up 45 points and defensively they are no where near championship caliber. Saint on the other hand were fast starters this year right out of the gate, the bye week + the cushion in the division and ability to rest players should give this team a simular boost to the beggining of the season imo.

I also believe the Saints have an underrated homefield advantage witht the dome noise and should be extrememly hard to win there in the playoffs. If the Saints can get by the Cardinals they would be playing either the Vikings who are not good on the road or they would be in a perfect revenge spot against the Cowboys. Im not saying that the Saints have it giftwrapped, but it is definately lining up for them nicely to earn thier way to the big dance. Definately looking at the Saints -7, small gut feeling there will be some 6.5's , gonna roll the dice and see


The other game Im looking at is the Charger/Jets game, typically I try not to post Charger plays if I can because of obv bias' even though I have been on track most of the time for the last few year. Im having trouble containing myself ast his is the first time in a while where im seeing so much love for a team traveling across the country off an emo win with an emo rookie QB, playing a team off a bye week with arguably the most playoff experienced roster still left in the playoffs. Seems like a real bad spot the pub is sticking thier nose.

The Chargers have always had major injuries this time of year , now they are healthy after the bye and peole lining up to bet against them lol. I am really liking my Chargers to beat the Jets rather easily this week as the better all around team and they have heard all about the Jets this week im sure. I would be shocked to see this line goto 6.5, Im jumping in soon though either way

all opinions welcome

Being raider fan i can honestly disagree with you with just about anything about what the chargers bring, but the fact is that i think san diego is a homer play this weekend due to the big height advantage san diego has with jackson,gates,floyd, and osggood... Sure darrell revis will shut down a side and lito sheppard is still great, but what about the others recievers
and a decent well balanced attack.... This isnt cincy who is a carbon copy of the jets and you also have to remember that rex ryan seen cincy twice a year while he was at baltimore.... Only downside i think is if sanchez is the new pretty boy to replace brady as poster boy, and the 9 points sure looks enticing but there is still the rookie playoff on the road factor and anything can happen.... But i will side with with sd secondary against that and hope for the best with the team thats not getting all the attention in this playoffs...... Gl jared, ill be with ya on this one!!!
