    Does Public Usually Lose In Playoffs?

    I know I know... we all are the public but I'm asking if you guys have #'s on how the playoffs have gone for Vegas the last few years. If my memory serves me right, favorites were just about 50% last year... but I'm curious about games in the last few years that have been really lop sided... which way did it go usually? When you get down to the top teams in each division, those games will be tough calls.. but I see potential for favorites killing it in round one.

    the public is all about perception, obviously GB will be big public plays in the playoffs alongside the pats, do you think those two teams will meet in the final? if so follow the public if not fade away

    I only remember some details last year. Mostly buried, especially early rounds.

    jets/indy, public lose big
    jets/ne public lose HUGE

    bal/kc public wins big
    saints/sea public lose big
    gb/phi I think it was split

    bal/pit public lose again thinking the "points" would be enough. Public road dog.
    sea/chic public loses small, again thinking points were too big
    atl/gb, i think it was split

    nyj/pit surprisingly lot of public on the points again, public road dog, lose again
    gb/chi, public won this one i think

    gb/pit basically split

    i recall Vegas doin well last year too. i think early rounds may be diffcult plays and the top tier teams in each conference are pretty even so could go either way . really hopeful for a new Orleans green bay nfc game

    Anyone else have input?

    You would assume by playoff time the books have the lines pretty damn sharp... I'm gonna be careful this playoffs.

    The NFL playoffs are not a typically good risk vs. return investment. Lines are sharp as a tack and move like lightening based on true and breaking information available to those on the inside.

    By the time you and I get anything informative it is as stale as applicable to the line as a loaf of bread with a sunburn.

    I do not want to chase lines. I want to beat them.

    NCAA hoops is a great proposition right about that time. We are deep enough into the schedule that statistics are developed and team tendencies well rooted.

    There are so many games on big game nights in college hoops that there is always a needle in the haystack. The limited schedule of the NFL playoffs is under the microscope and for that reason little real time value exists.

    NFL playoffs are for fans and degenerates. Or guys way more in the know or a lot sharper than I.


    Good luck to all those that play.

    Fact: Bet on the Jets ATS when they are underdogs in the playoffs.

    Billy, thanks for that insight on NCAA basketball in this NFL forum. We really dont care what you think about betting on the playoffs, if you dont think you can handle it, go post in the ncaa basketball forum. The rest of us that follow nfl will turn our knowledge into profits

    Who the fuk are you pal. I will post what I want where I want to post it,

    Some two bit POS fantasy football player like you will probably not change that. Looking through you posting history shows me that you don't know a rat's ass about NFL. So turning knowledge into profits is likely way more than you have ever done.

    Merry Christmas tough guy.


    Get back to your fantasy football.

    what do we think the spread would be for a Saints\Packers matchup in GB?

    That is game everyone wants to see... but it seems to me in years past, the game that everyone wants to see seldom happens.

    Green Bay -4.5

    That's what I think it would be if the game were tomorrow. Who knows what it will be after more performances by both teams in their last 2 regular season games and in the playoffs, not to mention injuries.

    I think that's the game we all want to see... hopefully it happens. Talk about a shoot out! I personally would give the edge to New Orleans...
