Pittsburgh Steelers @ Denver Broncos Sunday January 8, 2012 4:30 pm
I understand that the playoffs are different than the regular season as experience plays a big part in that. In this case Pittsburgh has it while Denver does not. But this point spread is out of control. Very rarely will you see a team favored on the road by this much in the playoffs ... read more

Play the New York Giants minus the points versus Atlanta. This year’s Giants team reminds me of their Super Bowl team. They couldn’t get motivated until their backs were against the wall then they win convincingly. I see the same type of intensity from them ... read more

Defensively, outside of the second to the last game of the season vs. New Orleans, who is hanging big numbers weekly, the Falcons have been very tough. They had the Bucs 42-0 before they called off the dogs and allowed 24. They held seven of nine teams leading up to those two to ... read more

The Atlanta Falcons had the best record in the NFC playoffs last season, but were bounced in game one when they met the red-hot Green Bay Packers who went on to win it all. The Falcons take to the road this season with their 10-6 record against the 9-7 Giants who beat Dallas ... read more

Lost in a lot of the hoopla surrounding Drew brees and his record breaking year at QB, is the fact that the saints, after their bye week got their defensive house in order. They have allowed 20 points or less in 5 of their last 6 games, and the only team to top the 20 mark was the ... read more

When I first saw this total, and saw it climb, I figured I'd be on the contrarian (UNDER side). But, after analyzing this game, I like the OVER. The Lions’ playoffs absence is well documented, and they have ridden the arm of emerging QB Matthew Stafford all season, averaging ... read more

This is a contrarian value play to the max. Everyone is expecting a shootout between Detroit and New Orleans and why not since these are two of the most potent offenses in the NFL. The linesmakers are adjusting for the influx of over money as this total has now reached 59 and by ... read more
