Nice work Horfin. :beerbang: I was hopin' you would be wrong. :beer2:

[Horfin]

NYG have best chance of an upset

:thumbs:

[homedawg]

I bet on a exchange, so i was wondering how you guys think the giants line will move through the week - with how the giants played and TO's uncertainty.

I was thinking of buying the giants at +7.5 thinking the line would move in my favor. - Is this just wishful thinking. The public was on the giants last week, and they looked fairly impressive.

BTW, I hope you won! :beerbang:

POLL

lets assume 1 team will upset!

who has the best shot at an upset?????


My pick: Chargers!

[Horfin]

As Always I am late to the discussion. I have not made any picks yet. But:

Home Teams in the Divisional Round are 55-13 over the last 68 games (SU)

However, in the last two years Home Teams are 4-4. This means that prior to the last two years Home Teams were 51-9 SU in this round of the playoffs (SU).

NYG - would be my GUT pick for an upset. I ain't got no respect for Wade Phillips. In two years that Dallas team will be 2-14 after he dismantles what Parcels built. If Dallas doesn't run the ball 30 times they are stupid and they should and probably will lose.

NE - would be my strongest pick for a su win. 16-0? 2 weeks to rest and fix whatever was wrong and 1 week to prepare and Jax has to travel twice (sunday home and this week to ne) and play back to bakc against playoff teams on the road against two teams with a combined record of 26-6 (i think). Jax is getting a lot of respect, but there is little chance if any that they win straight up.

SD or SEA - I always have a problem with teams who travel east. This shouldn't be a real issue with Sea/GB. Sea (OF ALL THE PLAYOFF TEAMS) is the most one dimensional, they don't run cause they can't, a bad day for Hassy and this game is over fast. SD goes to IND which means an awfully early start for SD. The last time they played Manning through 6 intereceptions and the SD offense accounted for ONE touchdown. One Touchdown. Let me say that again: 1 touchdown. I belive the other two tds were a return INT and a return KO or Punt. SD can't keep up with Indy, little chance for a su win.

So my answer to Home dogs question is:
NYG have best chance of an upset
Sea has the 2nd best chance of an upset (and not much)
SD has the 3rd best chance of an upset (and not much)
Jax has the worste chance of an upset (and it is miniscule)

anyone else looking at SD this week, I dont think they are going to win SU, but I do like them to cover the # this week, and I was looking up a bunch of trends and ****, and they seem to be the trend play for this week in the playoffs, im thinking i might bite, their d has given INDY fits and as good as Indy's has played I just think SD will be able to muster enough pts to keep this close, was thinking a 20-17 type of Indy win....


just my 2 cents gl to everyone this week

then why not look at the Under in that one....:thumbs:....seems like the best play, IMO, on that game. I think SDG is going to have a hard time doing anything. Gates isn't going to play and Indy will load up to stop Tomlinson. So now you are relying on Phillip the turnover Rivers to connect with Vincent Jackson and Chris Chambers to score points. Just don't see SDG doing much of anything. Not to mention the Kaeding the kicker has a really bad plant foot still and can't get any elevation on his kicks. So 4th and 5 from the 33 and they may be going for it instead of kicking. Plus Indy just has too many weapons for SDG. And the conditions were horrible the night that SDG played Indy and that game was an aberration with the 6 INT's and the 2 kick offs for TD's.......i agree a low scoring game...i was thinking more of like 24-9......but in either of the cases....makes the under look pretty good.......

I also want to do the NYG but I really dont have the balls to bet on ELI on the road in a playoff game vs a team that can actually play good football...TB is a joke IMO...

I would like to see JAX win but I could see this game being very similar to the playoff game they played a couple years ago, so I am going to lay off it...

GB-SEA, poses an interesting matchup and I really think this is going to be the best game in the Divisional playoffs...SEA has a good pass D and they are facing a team that is pretty pass happy, so I think the key to GB is a great game out of Grant, and I know a lot has been made of the schedule of SEA, but GB didnt exactly play murderer's row all year, i mean they got Min, Chic, and Det --6 games, add in KC, Oak, STL, Car....thats a pretty weak 10 games they won right there....SEA if they want to win will need to play Morris n not ALexander, he is killing them, and I'd have to give the coaching nod to Holmgren, I really see this being a very good game and 24-20 one way or the other is how I see this coming down, might have to put something on the SEA ML as I feel they have a great chance to upset here, they have the expereince and I really think these teams are evenly matched, and I know everyone loves Favre, but the guy is 1-3 in his last 4 playoff games and it seems everytime there has been a big stage against a tough opponent, he gets himself back in the mode of just tossing the ball up for grabs and throwing those picks...

just my 2 cents gl to everyone this week

[tampayay]

I think you will be suprised by Seattle....................

They will definatly keep it within 8, and i'm betting on them upsetting GB

Percentage of money on New York: 72%

i agree with UD on looking at the NYG/DAL Under in this one.....i think it was UD...lol...thread is too long to go back and look......but seriously, if TO is really banged up or doesn't play, that changes DAL game plan dramatically.......i would much rather have the under in this one than anything else. The only way the NYG win this is if it is a pedestrian type of game and IMO that is the way they will play it. T.O. had 3 for 87 and 2TD's and 6 for 125 and 2TD's, which is a lot of production to be missing if he isn't 100% (and playing and being healthy are 2 different things) and it's not like they have anyone else to fill his role off the bench. And anyone who has ever had a bad high ankle sprain knows those things are hard to come back from because it is stiff and it limits your lateral movement. So even if he plays, i find it hard to believe he would be at 100%.....which plays to an under play, IMO.

I personally think the 47 is whack....based on public perception of what happened in the first 2 games of the year. If there are no big plays in this one, then i have a hard time seeing this one go over.

Problem i see with the Giants is the Cowboys have the front lines to shut them down. The key to beating the Giants is blocking their front four and attacking their secondary. Tampa Bay's problem was lack of protection and lack of recievers. With Galloway and HIlliard banged up and Stovall out, they had practice squad recievers in the game. And although their OL has been decent this year, they're very young and inexperienced yet, and were banged up as well.

Dallas matches up totally different with the Giants than the Bucs did. The key is T.O. If he's good enough to go and Romo's on his game, I think the Giants could really struggle here. If the line drops below 7, i'm on the Cowboys.
