89% Jax at Indy+5'
If you plan on playing Jax, they've won their last six games S/U and ATS.

More fuel for the fire....I just read, but didn't check if it's true or not, but a poster said whoever plays Denver doesn't cover the next week.
Jax played Denver last week.

THE MOST LIKELY NFC LEADERS ARE: PHILADELPHIA (11- 5), CHICAGO (11- 5)CAROLINA ( 8- 8) AND SEATTLE (13- 3)
THE MOST LIKELY AFC LEADERS ARE: NEW ENGLAND (13- 3), PITTSBURGH ( 9- 7)JACKSONVILLE (12- 4) AND DENVER (13- 3)

THE MOST LIKELY NFC WILD CARD TEAMS ARE S. FRANCISCO AND L. A. RAMS
THE MOST LIKELY AFC WILD CARD TEAMS ARE BUFFALO AND HOUSTON

THE NFC CHAMPION SHOULD BE SEATTLE THE AFC CHAMP NEW ENGLAND
FAVORED BY 2 POINTS, THE SUPER BOWL CHAMP WILL BE SEATTLE .

OF COURSE ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN IN A PLAYOFF GAME AND INJURIES
AFTER THIS WEEK CAN KNOCK ANY TEAM OUT OF THE BOX. BUT BASED ON
THE STATS TO DATE SEATTLE WILL BE THE SUPER BOWL WINNER.

GO Seahawks!!

braddah,
I've been using the covers contest to find winners. I swear, the 90% to 100% percentage picks all lose.
Nothing on tomorrow's games. It's 50% on the Carolina/TBay game and 57% on Seattle. The other contest, players picking TB 57% straight up and 66% on San Fran.

I gotta work tomorrow so I'm gonna miss the game! Go 'Hawks!

Do you think Buffalo will lose to the NYJ? Covers team experts pick percentage is 93% on Buffalo-6'. Team experts are also picking
Jax-12 at 87%, LAC+12 at 81% and the other high percentage pick is on the LAR-8' at 86%. If the LAC percentage goes over 90%, I'd take Denver because LAC is a DOG and that's an automatic FADE. I'll keep up updated.

Mahalos sista. San Fran fan here so be yelling at the tv SF-1 played at Seattle back in September which they won 17-13. Its been very hard for one team to beat the same team twice in a season but thats what I’m hoping for

[Bluewater]

LAC at 86% is surprising because they are resting Herbert

[Bluewater]

Oh and good luck one of us will be

Sorry for your loss! Go Seahawks!!

I was so involved this morning doing the basketball games, I completely forgot about the NFL games.
I should've picked Seattle for my Survivor pick of the day. I picked an O/U basketball game and lost. So sad....

The basketball plays did really well today. I finally focused on what I've been tracking in my notebook. Most of the picks are contrarian from the covers contest. I look for the 80% or higher picks cause those are the ones that usuallly loses. Sides went 12-2 S/U and ATS today. O/U's went 6-6.

Anyways, GOOOOOOO Seahawks!!!
