Subject: Mike the Dealer's football playoff picks
The Divisional Round is here, and away we go!
Home team in CAPS
SAINTS -7 Vs Cards
The Saints fell apart at the end of the season,
beating the Redskins only because of a missed
chip shot field goal and a lot of luck, then
getting routed by Dallas, losing to the miserable Bucs,
then benching Drew Brees and conceding Vs the
Panthers. The Cardinals come into this game
with a scalding hot offense and a defense that
was shredded by the Packers. Normal ‘over/under’
bets for a game range between 42 to 48…This one
opened at 56.5 and has moved to 57,
people expect fireworks and a lot of them.
MY PICK: I think the team that has the ball last
wins, and in that case I take
the points and go with the Cards, and they’ll
be my lock of the week also.
COLTS -6.5 Vs Ravens
The Colts were boo’ed off their home field by
a disgusted crowd when they threw away a shot at 19-0.
The funny thing about this is the Colts are 0-3
under Manning when coming into the playoffs off a bye.
Who knows why on earth they keep doing this.
Of course on the other side of things the Colts offense is practically
unstoppable.
MY PICK: I take the Ravens and the points just out of pure spite of the Colts for their refusal to try to go 19-0, to hell with them.
VIKINGS -2.5 Vs Cowboys
The Vikings also stumbled down the stretch, their
only win a rout of the Giants, who had quit on the season.
Dallas comes into this game a house of fire and
you can be sure the line on this game is as low as it is due to
Cowboy Money flooding into the books.
MY PICK: Well I said the winner of Philly/Dallas
would be the NFC’s team in the Super Bowl,
so I have to stick to my guns and take the Cowboys.
CHARGERS -7 Vs Jets
This line opened at 9 or 9.5 depending where you
looked, this means a ton of money came in on the Jets.
The Jets did look damn impressive in their crushing
of the Bengals and maybe their defense can carry
a rookie QB all the way, but I doubt it.
MY PICK: I do need a favorite in here somewhere, so I take the Chargers.
