Dogs gone Wild! ...in the NFL

[SBR_John]

Without even capping I like the Eagles, Colts and will bet my car on the Pats plus the points. Sea looks good too from a value standpoint.

The bookies have started these lines too high!

[Mudcat]

Hmm, I dunno. I too will use the prefacing remark, "without even capping," - but historically, don't the Home teams that have had a bye do very well in these games?

Taking a quick look, I like BALT-4, NO-5 and SD-5. I don't like laying that many points (9.5) on Chicago.

I won't be straight-betting any of those games but that is my gut reaction.

[Seattle Slew]

I like all four dogs as well. In order of preference:
Philly +5
NE +5
Indy +4
Seattle +8.5

I think 3 of 4 dogs could win outright.

NFL playoff betting is pretty simple.....pick the winner and they cover about 80% of the time or something like that. If you think a dog is going to cover you might as well parlay them with the moneyline. Not too many dogs cover and lose the game.

[SBR_John]

I'm not a big believer in general trends. Thats like saying the roulette wheel usually hits black after red. Now if you said Team A has not covered in the last 3 vs the favorite, that would have some meaning.

Almost all of these dogs have the better QB and two for sure do. Having the best qb and getting more than a field goal is asking for trouble for favorite players.

[Razz]

The Colts will lose. I would lean to Seattle and New England. Have a good weekend John.

Seattle looks really good, the Bears are ooover-rated...
NE +200 is also very tempting, Brady has a lot of experience and NE is a good team.

I'm agreeing with you guys about the N.E. play.

Martyball in the playoffs = loss.

[tblues2005]

I think that these lines are too high expecially if you are playing teasers, I think it is an excellent pick to take in a 2 team- 7 pt teaser with Phileadphia +12 and New England +11.5, I sure don't see either one losing by double-digits this weekend. It would be a total shock if that happened to these two they have experienced QBs in the playoffs and that is a big plus in the playoffs.

[Sean]

Nice call so far. Two in, two to go.

Today Johnny might split, problem is I do not know what game.

[jjgold]

3-0

[Aces]

the Seahawks just blew my parlay but they excited me for a little while.

Colts Money Line + 170 Win
Saints Money Line -230 Win
Seahawks Money Line +335 Lost in OT
Patriots Money Line +190 ???

I was getting ready to hedge the hell out of it. Oh well.

[SBR_John]

That would have been a monster scoop with all those ML dogs.

I got the ole round robin 3 teamer with all 4 games. 1 is in. But need the Pats to run the table.

[jjgold]

If Pats cover it could be the worst beating ever for this type playoff week

[Aces]

it looks likes it may have won
