Title: NFL Playoff odds
Post by: Tre on January 10, 2012, 06:38:00 AM

Saints -3.5 @ 49ers

-I know the Saints are hot right now, but that offense slows down quite a bit on grass.  Home underdogs are generally a nice bet.  I'm laying off this one for now.

Broncos +13.5 @ Patriots

-That's a huge number, so I'm taking the points.  I bought a point on another ticket, too.  Maybe Tebow comes back down to earth this week, but what if it he doesn't?  I say Patriots by 10. 

Texans +9 @ Ravens

-Tricky.  I think Baltimore wins easily, but the Flacco factor could be the great equalizer.  I'm off this one, but I'd buy the Ravens down to -7 if you decide to play it.

Giants +9 @ Packers

-Love. This. Play.  I know it's at Lambeau and I know the Giants have Eli, but here are the 3 things you need to know:

1)  Giants are a cold-weather team, too
2)  this Packer team surrendered a lot of points this year
3)  this is the toughest defense the Packers will have seen all year, and they're playing at their highest level right now

Take the Giants, take the points, lay the wood.  I'd get in on this one soon if I were you, because you can count on a lot of money coming in on the Giants this week which will no doubt move the line.

I like Tebow, and have been a fan of his since college, but I can't see him going into New England and beating the Pats, who have 2 weeks off and all that time to prepare.

Since Dallas lost to the Giants the Giants have to win everything....that is all.

Knew that would move.  Looks like a trap though.

I'm a Giants fan, and root like crazy for them, but I was a little bummed when I saw that line that high.

For all the issues they had this season, the Giants can win this game, especially if they remain committed to the run like they were this past weekend.

Still too high IMO.

The opening line (+10) was a joke. I would've jumped on that if I was betting.

I like the Giants but how many 15-1 teams have you seen stopped before the Superbowl.

Definitely going to be a 1-possession game.

It wouldn't surprise me if the giants went in to lambeau and got smoked.

But with the backups on gb's o-line, and the giants peaking, it makes for a recipe for a close game.

Tuck and Umenyiora arent 100 percent and theres talk that Bulaga and the other guy might be back for the Packers, GB has too many weapons on offense, NY will keep it close in the first half but GB will pull away in the second.

Tuck wasn't even 75 percent when the giants were on top with less than 2 minutes to go in the meadowlands. Osi didn't even dress. Plus greenbay's oline was still intact.

Tuck and osi don't need to be 100 percent to beat greenbay.
