Jets @ Bengals -1, 34
Both teams stop the run. Both teams want to run. With the injury plague banging on Cinci's door and laying an egg last week (while resting their offense in Benson), every bet seem to come in on the Jets. The line has dropped from 3 to 1.... I know that the majority of Cinci's player's are new to the playoffs, but at least they are not a rookie in the most vital position. I can't trust Sanchez as the rookie QB to come through. You know that cinci's defense is going to try to make the game one demential and put the game on the shoulders of the rook. Having home field advantage helps too. This game is being touted as a defensive battle in the cold Ohio weather. It may very well be. I like the under, but betting under numbers like 34 and 35 seems silly. There is no room for error. One quick unexpected pick six and your total is bust. As Rex Ryan knows this game will come down to the turnover battle. I think that New York will loose this battle and the game. Cin -1 (2 Star) I can't go UNDER 34 so it is only a lean. If it is 32.5 I would lean OVER so maybe a teaser (gulp). Cin 19 NYJ 16
Phi @ Dal -4, 45
At least this line has been stable. As always the Dallas line should be over-inflated, but it really doesn't seem to be. For some reason I can't trust that the Boys will win in the playoffs. Romo 0-2 in playoffs while McNabb is 9-6. Coaching is better for Philly. Dallas appears to have the better defense, but the Eagles are notorious for bringing it in the playoffs. Crazy confusing blitz packages normally eat Romo alive. The kicking and punt return game is better for Philly. You know they have been saving Westbrook for the playoffs.... Home field advantage will be huge for Dallas and the fact that they spanked this team twice already this year. Tough choice here, seems evenly matched so I'll take the points: Phi +4, (Go big D) UNDER 45
This will be close to the numbers I think. That is why they are not really moving much. Phi 20 Dal 21
Love going 0-3. Here are more picks to fade....
NE -3.5, Over 43 NE is undefeated at home. Good QBs make good wide recievers. Balt defense is overrated. Ray Rice should run all day.
GB +1, Over 48 Can't help liking GB all the way. They get at least three TDs. If Ari wants to keep up they will need to score.
