Ah, c'mon. You know the answer to that one. They get together a few days before the game, figure out a plausible script and who will cover, then they bet accordingly. Same as us. |

When I log onto Covers this is the type of post I am looking for: good, in-depth analyses and legitimate points, not a bunch of useless sniping and garbage about "scripted" games and crooked refs, etc.
Nice Post indeed!

Let's throw a bit more fuel on the bonfire for Rodgers... How does he do vs #1 pass defenses...including playoffs?... 1-4 overall... 0-4 on the road... 4 TDs...4 interceptions... 72.2 QB rating... Oh my...guess who has the #1 rated pass defense in the NFL this year?.............. That's right...your San Francisco 49ers... I'm just going from years of memory here, but a good rating in pass defense is often registered by poor teams, the opposition not needing to pass to beat them and running out the clock with big leads. All the more credit to this year's Niner bunch.

Rodgers and the Pack will be a different team this time but I"m not sure it will matter. A more relevant game is last week's demolition of the Vikings. The 27-10 score is misleading, Vikings were totally dominated. Now Cousins is not Rodgers and the Viking offense is not on a par with the Pack, but if the 49er defense plays anywhere close to last week, the Pack will require a 2-3 plus in turnovers to have a chance. Could happen and 7.5 is too many points, but I'll take the Niners for a little. They just look too tough on defense.
Will be rooting for the Chiefs, but have a little on the Titans. That way I will win at least one way and maybe two. First post of the year. Just too much trouble and this site ain't what; it used to be.

I guess the "torch" has been passed on from Bellichick to Vrabel. Also, since this year's SB is being held in Miami, it would be bittersweet for Tannehill to get his first SB ring where he started his pro career. I might have to jump on this bandwagon because my predictions are off. Big props to Train69 for that 50-1 future bet. I think you can delete "bitter" from "bittersweet."

The drop by the little ugly guy was huge, but 40 rushes for over 200 yards will usually outweigh any kind of passing game on the other side. "usually"

For all the analyses out there, it boils down to the same old themes. In order to win in the NFL, you need to shut down the other teams run game and pressure the passer. Brady has thrown90 times this post season, 89 from the pocket. Sure death unless you can just out score him. I think the Rams could do either, and I would rate this game a toss-up, so I'll take the 2.5 and buy another half point to +3 and the Rams.
LAR +3 (btw) vs. NE 2 units |

That stat is true for most games in the NFL, regardless of the teams. Not as true as it used to be, but still a key stat.

My thoughts almost exactly. Rams have what it takes to put the hammer on that 41-year-old. As long as they don't turn the ball over.

If you are just a Patriot fan, I guess so.
They are also 2-5 ATS in Super Bowls as favs.

+3 minus 125 is slightly less than +2.5 minus 110 i.e. you should be able to get +3 minus 120.

Wild Card round 1-3 minus 0.2 units
Div round 2-1 plus 0.9 units 3-4 plus 0.7 units Today: Who knows? Wouldn't put much on any aspect of either game. I don't remember a playoff season when I had fewer ideas. Usually a team that "shouldn't be there." Or some such nonsense. I like all these teams. Score was much closer last week, but the Saints totally dominated after the first two Philly TDs. I don't think they can do that to the Rams, but I just can't bring myself to bet against the Saints in the Dome. So: NO-3 vs. LAR one unit I don't think the weather will be much of a factor at all in KC, and KC has all those downfield weapons, while NE is limited in that respect. Think NE will try to establish dominance on the ground with that superior Off line. Don't know if they will or not, but I will take the under in anticipation of long Pat drives. Could well win them the game if the Chiefs can't jump out in the first half and have some drives of their own. KC/NE under 56 one unit KC-3/under parlay 1/2 unit

Hey "RockChalk5"
For once I'm wishing a (presumably) KU fan the best of luck.
