8 out of the 10 games of the NFL playoffs, Vegas made the correct side the favorite with the right point spread. 

If Colin Cowherd tells you Team A will win 31-30, it is equivalent to saying the line is -1, 61. 

When Vegas gives Atlanta +3 and 59, they are saying the final score will be EXACTLY 28-31.  If you say Nah, I think Atlanta wins, you are saying you think Vegas is wrong.  This playoffs, clearly Vegas has proven to be the best the NFL handicapper if you look at the scores and who they picked to win.

This was what I had to say before the playoffs started:

NFC

Green Bay beats New York
Seattle beats Detroit

AFC

Pittsburgh beats Miami
Houston beats Oakland


Divisional Round

NFC

Green Bay beats Dallas
Atlanta beats Seattle

AFC

New England beats Houston
Kansas City beats Pittsburgh

Championship Game

Atlanta beats Green Bay

Kansas City beats New England

Super Bowl

Kansas City beats Atlanta

If I were given the choice, once Kansas City lost, I'd have picked the Pats. However, I called the exact NFC Playoff run. 

But yeah, Pats win.

WTF

ATL beat GB 44-21 and you said Vegas set the line correctly

The same goes with NE beat PIT with the score 36-17

Based on your logic then every time the FAV beat the spread, Vegas is correct.

The first and greatest victory is to conquer self

Remember, I am not selling picks, nor have I ever selling picks.  Anyone claiming to be "TheFootball77" from covers.com is a liar.

Vegas was way off their opening line on the final scores of games involving the best teams.

The last 6 games when bye teams played vegas lines were off by a TD or more in 4 of those 6 games and off b y 12 points or more in 3 of 6 games.

Long term vegas favorites win roughly 64% of the time, if you were to bet all those fav laying juice you'd likely be a loser, but vegas just like anyone else can have moments where their favs win a higher % then the long term ave.

And that'ss about all that happened, a random event .

I went 10-0 with some 2nd half bets thrown in for good measure however that's not saying much, This was the easiest NFL play offs i have ever bet on, Favorite/Over, Favorite/Over, The Packers win over the Cowboys was the one game i didn't bet on the fave and had the over instead and had no play on the Chiefs/Steelers  game. I've enjoyed the winning this year however i fully expect the line makers to get smarter next year, The people who over thought or were hoping for upsets or trap lines lost their a-rses.
