OK folks tough loss on the National Championship. In my opinion bad coaching lost us that game but its really tough to sit there and say that either side was clearly the right play. Went down to the wire and really could have been won or lost. On to this weekend I like the card again and am looking to have a plus day in the books. Here's what I got:
Steelers -3 I think the extra week of rest is huge for the Steelers here, after Balty had to go on the road to Arrowhead and play the Chiefs who, despite getting blown out in the second half, fought hard for the first half of the game. I'm not a Rapistburger fan but I'll take him against Balty's D over Flacco against the Steelers D. Home field and an extra week of rest are enough for Pitt to cash the ticket in this one.
Green Bay +2 Tough to go against the Falcons at home I know but let's be honest, Atlanta is good but they rack up wins in a weak division. Carolina I don't need to tell you how bad they were this year, Tampa Bay seemed good but performed horribly against good teams and the Saints, well we just saw what happened to them. Green Bay may very well be the hottest team in football, awesome defense with Matthews and Woodson and Raji and Aaron Rodgers gotta love the guy. And whats more we might actually have a running game now...watch out for Green Bay folks. 24-21 GB
SUNDAY:
Chicago -10 So the Saints go marching in to Seattle as ten point favorites and lose on the field, now they go play a Chicago team that they beat during the regular season and they're ten point dogs? Seattle's gotta be the play right? Wrong. Chicago allowed six sacks on Cutler that game and have really shored up their O line play since that game. Cutler I don't like to give him any credit but he is maturing as a QB. Seattle at home and on the road is like night and day. Chicago is rested and hungry I think they put the wood to the Hawks...31-10 Chicago
Jets +9 Is this line a joke, folks? Everyone remembers the 45-3 shallacking the Patriots put on the Jets the SECOND time they played but they conveniently neglect to mention that the Jets WON the first time 28-14. Rex Ryan had the boys watching tape of the game they lost and everyone saw Brady pointing at the Jets sideline. I don't think I have to tell you how fired up the Jets will be. NE may very well be the best team in football right now but 9 in a playoff game against a team that runs well and plays good D, give it to me all day. Jets cover this inflated number.
