Green Bay Packers - 2.00
Philadelphia Eagles + 3.5 - 1.91
New York Jets - 2.40
New England vs Baltimore OVER 42.5 - 1.91
Seeing as it's playoff time, I thought I'd give a tip for each NFL Wild Card game.
The Packers are my "tip of the week", as I see them as having all 3 areas of strength over the Cards, Defense, Rushing and Throwing.
I'm not confident at all about the Eagles after last weeks "blowout", but I believe coach Andy Reid might have been foxing a bit, not really caring who he played this week. The Cowboys have a habit of choking in big games, as this should be close.
The Bengals/Jets game is hard to judge, both teams are clearly the worst 2 that have made the playoffs, and the Bengals have struggled since the death of Chris Henry. At home, the Bengals will be hard to beat, but the Jets have the best D in the NFL, which is always dangerous in January.
New England are almost certainties in my mind, but the odds are too short unless you want to bet big, so the overs seem a good bet. Despite losing NFL leading receiver Wes Welker last week for probably 12 months, the Patriots will still score at home, while the Ravens have been surprisingly high scorers in recent weeks, and their D has let big scores in too. 42.5 seems unders to me, so I'll take the overs.
P.S: A little warning, the playoffs are tricky at the best of times, so think long and hard about how much you can "afford to lose" before placing a bet this week.
Interesting Fact: The last 4 Superbowls have featured teams (4 in total) who have played in the Wild Card Weekend, with 3 actually winning it all.
