Minnesota-3

Analysis:
This is for the FIRST HALF - yes, it's Brees and the Saints which is why I cannot lay the points for the game because the back door could be wide open. People have been knocking Keenum, but he's had basically the whole season, and he's thrown 22 TD's with only 7 picks. That's more than adequate, and for many of the same reasons I took the Panthers last week, I am not overjoyed at backing New Orleans' defense. They've had way too many injuries this season, they're now on the roa›d in an atmosphere that's going to be tough, given that the Vikings fan base do know what it's like to be in the playoffs and that should carry Minnesota for a while. Minnesota has far and away the best third-down defense in the NFL, which is something I'll rarely fade. The Saints' third down defense is 27th in the league, and that's something I'll rarely back, especially on the road - and obviously not here.

3*
Jacksonville +7

Analysis:
There are still plenty of +7.5's out there - this is a classic "just take the better defense" bet for me. I will concede that Bortles isn't the second coming of anyone, but I will give him a bit of an upgrade in the Playoffs for now having actually played in a playoff game. We know what J'ville wants to do, and it's likely that Pittsburgh will commit to stopping the run - but so many other teams have tried that. When Bortles doesn't HAVE to throw he's actually above average, and in that first game the Steelers had Shazier and they won it with Bortles throwing exactly 14 times. J'ville had five picks and of course Ben wants to improve on that, but the J'ville corners are for real - it's not just their pass rush. Bouye and Ramsey are probably more equipped to handle the Steelers wideouts than anyone. The very fact that they've already played in Pittsburgh is also a huge plus. There's also what people are referring to as the impending New England game, but they've got to win this one, first. And if Pittsburgh isn't 100% focused on this one, they may not be playing the Patriœots at all. The same can be said of New England against the Titans. But, I'll take my chances that Pittsburgh doesn't run away with this one - especially in the playoffs because this truly IS a "just win" situation where piling it on and/or taking needless chances just doesn't happen that often.
