Wildcard Trends
1.At least one of the #6 seeds have advanced to the 2nd round past 3 years, both #6 seeds advanced in 2008 & 2010.only one in 2009. None in 2011.
2.Past 22 years of the wildcard round, there has been only 2 times where all 4 favorites won SU, thats 2-20 past 22 years that means the odds are against all 4 favorites winning their games SU at least one dog will win SU this weekend
3.Play the Under in a wildcard game if the road team beat a division opponent in their last regular season game..11-4 Under since 2004...73%
Based on those
1. CIN or MIN would be a good play
2. CIN,MIN,BAL,WSH at least one ML would be a play
3. Play under in all 4 games.
