Sunday Wildcard NFL Action!!

Mendoza Line · #1 01-08-2012, 11:06 AM

3-0 yesterday.

Today not as easy, IMO, but I'll take these....

#106 Giants -3 +100 Clear but cool out. Like Eli with playoff experience, and at home. NYG 5-1 ATS last 6 playoff games; Atlanta just 1-4 ATS last 5 playoff games. NYG is on a 4-0 ATS run against teams with winning records; Atlanta is 0-4 ATS in their last 4 against teams with winning records. Atlanta just 4-4 SU & 3-5 ATS on the road this season.

#108 Broncos +9 -115 Tough to go against Pitt in January, and tough to go against a 12-4 team with a 8-8 team, but seems like the way to go here. Looking at the line, this is the kinda of number that forces a lot of Pittsburgh teasers. Vegas doesn't give money away on those, either. Big Ben still not fully mobile, and will be without his center again. Pouncey was out for that MNF game when SF stomped Pitt. Yeah, he was out against the Rams, too, and Pitt killed them, but those are the Rams, not a playoff team. Pitt is 12-20 ATS as a road fave; Denver is 22-12 ATS as a home dog. Home dogs in the NFL playoffs are 20-9 ATS. I don't think Denver advances, but I gotta take 9 points in what could be a real low-scorer.

Looking for a 2nd-half opportunity in the Atl/NYG game.

GL Mallers!!
