Post Season YTD : 0-0 +0 units
REG Season YTD : 50-38 +10.19 units


Arizona +3 -105

Ok, so lets get this out of the way, they are a NFC WEST TEAM. Ok now that we know they are in one of the worst divisions, one that also happens to house the Hawks.....we can get on with why I really like this team today. For starters, last week Arizona got manhandled by Green Bay which topped a Preseason victory also by Green Bay. Arizona is not happy it lost those games, even though both were ultimately meaningless. I think that this week in the game that really matters between these teams, Arizona comes out much hotter.

Many people think that Green Bay is a better on Defenses, they must be because they cannot hang on offense in terms of tallent. However, when you look at the stats of both teams when they play against good teams, Arizona actually edges out Green Bay in most categories. The public is all over Green Bay as could be seen by a HUGE line shift in this game accross zero. Bouldin will likely not be anywhere near 100% if he even plays, but Arizona has done just fine without him this year, I think only losing one game he was out. Arizona is also fighting for a winning record at home this year, and they need this VICTORY to secure they do not have a losing one at home. Arizona takes down GB at home for the first time in three chances this year.

not so sure about that SuperBowl Call there......but glad to have you on the same side today.

Baltimore Ravens +6.5 -110

I feel like I am falling back in love with Baltimore all over again. This team for starters is starting to show why it claims to have some of the best fans in the league. Today they might have more fans at Indy than all three of the other road playoff teams in their games this weekend combined.....this is no joke. Flacco is also getting HEALTHIER, not injured or getting worse. It seems that a lot has been made of his injury this week as it came to light he was somewhat hiding the severity. But, the severity has mostly passed as both he and his coaches claim he is getting healthier not worse.

I always like the public angle and this week there is alot to like. For starters we have had a little reverse movement despite Indy being a huge public favorite. Top that off with all 10 of ESPNs main NFL Experts/analysts taking Indy to win SU. Tell me that has not gone into people's heads all week long. Indy also won the last meeting between these two teams which I think adds to the hype, while at the same time gives the losing team at the time motivation in future games. Indy I think is on a huge streak vs. Baltimore and you better know Baltimore knows about it.

Indy's fans and some players are still upset by what heppened to perfection, I have to imagine if they start playing poorly at all the boo birds will come out. And that is the last thing a Playoff team needs. couple this distraction with that about Dungy recruiting violations, and Indy just not playing for a couple weeks.....I think Baltimore will keep this very very close and probably win it SU.

Post Season YTD : 1-3 -2.30 units

Minnesota Vikings -3 +111

I will not have much to say on this game, but lets get started. This is the most well rounded team in the playoffs. And I don't just mean offense, defense, special teams. They have the deepest starting group out there in every position. Dallas has been the most hyped team the last few weeks and I get the sense that people think this will be an Arizona or a Pittsburgh in this years playoffs. Neither team is very banged up and I am just fine with that. I don't even think this will be close as next week, Minnesota and New Orleans will be a much better game.

Post Season YTD : 2-3 -1.19 units

Minnesota Vikings +175
MIN/NO Under 54.5 -105

There are numerous reasons for these bets, but ultimately I think that Minnesota is the most complete team in the playoffs and I think they are going to win it all this year barring any major injuries. The headlines have been for Minnesota injuries this week, but they look to be completely healthy going into this game, while Minnesota still has a key piece or two out. It will be nasty taking this under, but I think one of these are going to hit, and why not on the day when the New Orleans Saints go Down.

Post Season YTD : 2-5 -3.24 units

Ok big game today and I love the saints and the under. Unfortunately the saints is more about what I want to happen, so will only be playing the under. Sad it is the end of the best sport for a couple months.

Under 57.5 -110
