i think the saints definitely cover here as well. They look as good as any team in football. The reason the spread is +3.5 is because of the 49ers great de, but the saints are so hot i don't think it matters. Their O-line is unstoppable and i see them winning by atleast a TD. 28-20 saints
I also really like the ravens -7.5. They are a much better team at home, coming off of a bye week, and are facing a rookie quarterback. I don't see the texans posting more than 14 points. 24-13 ravens is my guess. I also like that spread in a 6 point tease, ravens and packers @-1.5 = EZ money

Saints traveling across country on a semi short week...
Facing San Fran after good rest...
Playing on grass in a tough stadium...
Facing the best D and secondary in the playoffs...
Saints could win, but it wont be a walk in the park.
Cant really argue about the Ravens tease you got there...

denver - if denver doesnt turnover the ball twice in their own territory like last time they will cover. Remember Denver was leading up till mid 2nd quarter last game, and showed that they could hang, but those turnovers cost them.
ravens - if this game was away, houston would have a good chance, but a rookie qb on the road in playoff game smells disaster. though ravens have been bad against pure running teams (seattle, jags), they will stack the box and make tj beat them with his arm, which will result in a couple turnovers. then again it goes the same for the ravens also, texans good def will make flacco beat them with his arm. so it comes down to the better the qb. take the more experienced home qb.
packers - everyone seems to forget how good rodgers is and making him seem inferior to the almighty giants d line. giants secondary sucks and they suck against the spread. though i dont like to compare different games, but look at the giants against saints, saints and packers same type of offense and weapons, saints blew them out at home. packers at home with 2 weeks rest, book it.
saints - im from baton rouge so i watch them play all the same. gotta give props to the san fran def, but the saints offense is to much for this team. ever since the bye week the saints have turned into a super bowl team. they have found a run game and are making turnovers on defense. and all this crap about dome and grass, people over value this way to much. this is how i see it, when the niners are down by more than a touchdown and have to play catch up, alex smith will fold. the only, only way san fran can win is if they go up 2 tds early, which is very unlikely. saints will roll. sproles is the x factor.

As you can see from my analysis, we agree on all except Houston @ Baltimore. Still, best of luck!
