Atlanta had one away game where they didn't score at least 10...that was in New England. For the season they have scored on average one more point at home then they did on the road.

The problem they have....the Rams have scored the most points on average at home then any other team..32.8 and that number should be higher when you consider they didn't give a crap about the last home game against the 49ers.

ATL lost only ONE game by more than 10 points this season...Pats. Rams losing Legatron is HUGE when looking at their PPG. You gotta subtract around 5-6 points/game for not having him.

Line down to 5.5 now.

ATL....defending nfc champs getting almost a td (that 6.5 very important as LAR dont even have a legit kicker)
Thought line would be -3 highest. A team not in playoffs for 1.5 decades laying 6 with a no kicker, just doesnt make sense.
If Im a sucker so be it, will go down with ATL. Its my only play of the 1st round, points and on the money.

Wow I placed a bet on Rams and didn't even know that Zuerlein was on IR...

Seems about right from where it started...surprised Tenn is getting more love, down to 7.5 now.

can't argue with you on this one.......

**ChiLLx** · 01-05-18, 01:10 AM

Lots of dog day falcons love in here. Notice how ATL spread is floating in the no man's land of between 4 and 7

I felt this way at beginning of week (assuming no McCoy), but Buffalo and Tennessee may have drifted up high enough to where that may be playable.

**Hman** · 01-05-18, 10:17 AM

Guy on Dan Patrick show predicts this will be 2nd year in a row all home teams win in this round.

**Saluki09** · 01-05-18, 07:40 PM

I think the better question is what would be the closest game with all these big point spreads

**4sees** · 01-05-18, 08:32 PM

TN + 8 has best chance of covering.

Though I believe all the faves win their games, I'd say Caro has the best chance of the upset.

**steven12** · 01-06-18, 10:04 AM

Kansas - Tennessee @ Tennessee -8
Kansas - Tennessee @ Over 44.5

**Shutup** · 01-06-18, 10:05 AM

Carolina pulls the upset. They will cover at the least

**Da Phoenix** · 01-06-18, 10:15 AM

BUFFALO should be the only dog that win outright this week

They are garbage. Can't stop the run. Jags shove it down their thoats. They will be on them defensively. Third straight game on the road

**LT Profits** · 01-06-18, 02:02 PM

I actually think Carolina has the LEAST chance at the upset. Saints are just a nightmare matchup for them, New Orleans won both regular season games easily because Panthers had no answers for Kamara and Ingram catching balls out of the backfield.

My plays so far are Saints -6.5 and Falcons +6.

Nobody has an answer for this if NFL backs can actually catch the ball..........

Well it not as if those two backs dominated as receivers every game, so a few defenses were able to defend it. It is just not Carolina's strong suit.

I meant any team who has a top back who can catch the ball out of backfield has advantage.....

Not many can do this.........

Remember Marsh Faulk?

And Saints have two of them. Currently, besides New Orleans duo, Le'Veon, McCoy (when healthy) and Gurley come immediately to mind. And what a coincidence, all are in playoffs!

**LT Profits** · 01-06-18, 05:24 PM

Add Freeman and Kareem Hunt, also in playoffs,

I don't see any upsets, but I think Atlanta has the most offensive fire power to create one. I like the question above as to which game is the closest. The Jags had two tough season-ending loses, so it could be a close one with the Bills.

Wow, we have a Nancy sighting! Welcome back.

As for Jags, do not put much stock in their season finale, that had an intentionally vanilla game plan that game in anticipation of a rematch with Tennessee this week, they did not want to put anything noteworthy on film.

**Sportsgirl** · 01-06-18, 06:58 PM

Thanks, LT. Just popping in to see what the NFL playoff talk is.
