GOOD LUCK TO ALL HERE AT RX SUNDAY

3* Selection
***PITTSBURGH 21 New England (-3.0) 14

I never imagined that a team with a 16-1 record would be an underdog at home in a
playoff game, but that's the scenario we have here. When I was asked on Sunday afternoon what I thought the line on this game would be, I said that Pittsburgh should be favored by 3 ½ points, but I'd probably make the line 2 ½ or 3 out of respect for the Patriots.
I was shocked when I saw that New England was favored by 3 points. It's funny how
everyone was questioning the merits of the Patriots prior to last week's game against
the Colts, who most predicted would win that game (I leaned with NE), and a week later
the Pats are being hailed as too good to lose ? even on the road to a 16-1 team. It
strikes me that the public, rather than admitting they were wrong about how good the
Colts are, have simply come to the conclusion that the Patriots must be REALLY good to
have beaten the Colts so easily. Throw in the fact that Pittsburgh struggled to beat the Jets and you have the makings of a ridiculous pointspread in this game. The only reason
the Steelers struggled to beat the Jets was their -2 in turnover margin with one of
those interceptions being returned for an 86 yard touchdown. The Steelers should be
applauded for winning a game in which they were -2 in turnover margin, which is tough to
do, and Pittsburgh out-played the Jets from the line of scrimmage 364 yards (at 4.9
yards per play) to 275 yards (at 4.4 yppl). That game was the only time in Ben
Roethlisberger's 15 starts that the Steelers turned the ball over more than twice (NE
has had 3 or more turnovers 5 times), so it's not likely that the Steelers will have
similar turnover issues this week. These teams match up pretty evenly on both offense
and defense, as both teams have a rushing attack that rates at 0.1 ypr better than
average and a highly efficient quarterback, with Roethlisberger rating at 1.3 yards per pass play better than average (7.2 yppp against teams that allow a combined 5.9 yppp on
defense) and Brady rating at 1.0 yppp better than average (7.0 yppp against teams that
allow 6.0 yppp). Pittsburgh has better defensive numbers than the Patriots for the
season, but New England has actually been better defensively since Ty Law has been
injured, as Law didn't support the run and the Pats defend the run a lot better since
he's been out. New England has yielded just 3.5 ypr and 5.7 yppp (to teams that combine
to average 4.1 ypr and 6.3 yppp) in games without Law, with the exception of their
regular season finale against the 49ers when backups got a lot of snaps. Pittsburgh's
defense is nearly as good, allowing 3.7 ypr and 5.3 yppp (to teams that combine to
average 4.1 ypr and 5.9 yppp) in all games excluding their season finale against
Buffalo. New England was without star running back Corey Dillon in their 20-34 week 8
loss at Pittsburgh and I took the Pats' offensive stats from that game out when I
calculated the math on this game. My math model would still favor the Steelers by 1 ½
points if this were a regular season game, but home field advantage in the playoffs is 2 ½ points higher than in the regular season, so the math projects Pittsburgh by 4 points in this game. The Steelers also apply to a 43-12-1 ATS playoff home team situation and home underdogs are 18-6 ATS in playoff games since 1976. I've been hearing everywhere that Bill Belichick hasn't lost to a quarterback he's facing for a second time in a season, but have people forgotten that Ben Roethlisberger is a quarterback that hasn't lost a football game that he's started in over 2 years? With the line value and the situation strongly favoring the Steelers I will make them a 3-Star Best Bet at +3 points or more. Downgrade Pittsburgh to a 2-Star Best Bet if they become an underdog of less than 3points.

Strong Opinion
PHILADELPHIA (-5.0) 24 Atlanta 13

My math model favored the Falcons by 15 points in last week's 47-17 win over the Rams, which included a whopping 6 point edge in special teams. It turns out that Atlanta's special teams edge last week was underestimated, as the special teams difference in that game was 13.2 points. The Falcons won't enjoy that same type of advantage in this game, as the Eagles' rate at 0.6 points per game better than Atlanta in special teams and my math model favors the Eagles by 11 points after making all the proper adjustments. The Eagles' offense isn't as good without Terrell Owens, and I calculated their pass attack as just average without Owens (based on the yards per passes thrown to averages of the Eagles' receivers last season, compared to what they were this year with T.O.). However, Philly's receiving corps stepped up last week and Donovan McNabb averaged a very impressive 8.4 yards per pass play against a Vikings' defense that allowed 6.7 yppp for the season. I don't expect McNabb to perform nearly as well in this game against a solid Falcons' pass defense that has allowed 5.7 yards per pass play (to teams that combine to
average 6.1 yppp on offense) when pass rushing specialist Rod Coleman is in the lineup (the Falcons' got torched through the air in the 3 games he missed due to lack of a pass rush ? just 1 sack in those 3 games). The Falcons also have a solid run defense (3.8 ypr allowed in Coleman's games, to teams that combine to average 4.0 ypr) and I rate their stop unit at 0.3 yards per play better than average. I calculate Philadelphia's offense also being 0.3 yppl better than average without Owens, so there isn't an edge on either side when the Eagles have the football. Philadelphia's advantage lies with their defense, which has been fantastic since Jeremiah Trotter took over the starting job at middle linebacker in week 10. Since then, and excluding their final 2 regular season games when backups played a large portion of the time, the Eagles have yielded just 3.7 ypr and 5.2 yppp to teams that combine to average 4.2 ypr and 6.1 yppp on offense. Overall, the Eagles' defense rates at 0.7 yppl better than average and they should win the battle against a Falcons' attack that has averaged 5.4 yppl when Michael Vick is at quarterback (against teams that combine to allow 5.3 yppl on defense). The Eagles' great secondary will be able to cover the Falcons' receivers man-to-man, which will allow them to focus on defending the run. Vick is certainly capable of taking over a game, but most of the damage he has done in his career has come against mediocre and bad defensive teams and he's struggled against good defensive teams (most notably the Buccaneers). The cold conditions in Philadelphia should also inhibit Vick's game, as he's struggled throwing the ball in the only two cold weather games (40 degrees or lower) that he's played in during his career (just 4.8 yppp) while running for a total of just 51 yards in those two games. Vick also doesn't run as well on natural grass, averaging 6.5 ypr on grass ? compared to 8.1 ypr on artificial turf. Donovan McNabb, by contrast, has played better during his career as the temperature has dropped. McNabb has averaged 0.5 yppp higher than his career average in 11 cold weather games. There are situations favoring
both sides in this game, as the Eagles apply to a 50-15 ATS playoff home team situation while also applying to a 1-13 ATS angle. Also, the Falcons' 47-17 win last week is not a good omen for them, as teams that score 35 points or more in their divisional round playoff win are 0-9 ATS on the road in the Conference Championship Game. Also, teams that score more than 35 points in any playoff victory of 7 points or more are just 4-14-1 ATS on the road when not getting at least 10 points (including the Colts last week). Those angles combine to favor the Eagles by about 2 ½ points, which is the same as additional home field advantage that is already incorporated into my math model for playoff games. So, the math prediction of Eagles by 11 points is what I'll go with and Philadelphia has a profitable 56.7 % chance of covering at the current pointspread of -5 points, which is good enough to make the Eagles a Strong Opinion in this game. Upgrade Philadelphia to a 2-Star Best Bet if they become a favorite of 4 points or less.

Take Philadelphia over Atlanta

The Eagles will break the curse this year and get the job done at home against the Falcons. The Eagles will keep Michael Vick inside the pocket and make him beat them through the air. He will not be able to do that and expect Jim Johnson to come up with a scheme to frustrate and confuse him. The Eagles offense played well last Saturday and would have scored a lot more points were it not for key goal line fumbles. The Falcons are a different team in the dome, but out in the cold much of their team speed will be offset. Phily will break the curse and win this like the Red Sox beat the Yankees. Get a lead early, and just cruise to a late game victory.

4 Unit Play.
Take New England over Pittsburgh

We avoided the trap last week when everyone was on Indianapolis and we will lay our money down on the best coach in the business. The Steelers have struggled in home field championship games and this time it will not fall on their coach, as they are not the better team. The Patriots defense dominated Peyton Manning and one can be sure they will be keying on stopping the run in this contest. The Rookie of the Year struggled mightily against the Jets and should have single-handily lost that game if it were not for two missed field goals. Pittsburgh will not be as lucky this week as New England will win this game by double digits.

GOLD SHEET ANALYSIS PHILLY - ATL

PHILADELPHIA 24 - Atlanta 10-Been there...done that? As far as
Philadelphia is concerned, that wouldn't be a good thing, considering that
the Eagles have reached three straight NFC title games and lost them all,
including the last two years at home vs. Tampa Bay and Carolina (scoring only
13 points total vs. the latter pair). What makes this year any different,
especially when the offseason acquisition HC Andy Reid thought would finally
get Philly over this conference title game hump, WR Terrell Owens (14 TD
catches TY), is injured and will miss this contest?
Simply, we're not convinced Atlanta presents quite the same obstacle
that the Rams did in 2001, nor the Bucs and Panthers the past two seasons.

Certainly, the Falcons offer some potentially troubling matchups to anyfoe. Atlanta, helped in no small part by QB Mike Vick's dangerous scrambling
ability (902 YR!), ranked first in rushing this season with 167 ypg and
destroyed the Rams last week on the dry, fast Georgia Dome carpet with 327
yards on the ground. The juiced-up Falcon "D" installed by former Packer
d.c. Ed Donatell (fired after LY's infamous 4th-and-26 playoff failure in
Philly) and 1st-year HC Jim Mora, Jr. led the NFL with 48 sacks. But we
don't believe either of those Atlanta strengths will decide this game,
because the Eagles are well-constructed to deal with both.

Granted, slowing the mercurial Vick is easier said than done, but shrewd
Philly d.c. Jim Johnson is noted not only for his aggressive schemes, but
also for minimizing the damage mobile QBs can do to his defense-which was the
case the last time he faced Vick, limiting the QB's improvisations in a 20-6
Divisional Playoff win two years ago. And Johnson has a few more defensive
"toys" at his disposal than a few years ago, namely ex-Titan DE Jevon Kearse
and ex-Redskin LB Jeremiah Trotter, both of whom have lent a big-play
component to the Eagle front 7. It's also worth noting that before Reid and
Johnson gave ample rest to their starters in the final two meaningless
reg.-season games vs. the Rams & Bengals, Philly had allowed the fewest
points in the league. And though RBs Warrick Dunn (1106 YR) & T.J. Duckett
(509 YR) are nice diversions, make no mistake-as Vick goes, so goes Atlanta.
Johnson's track record would indicate that, the Eagles, at the least, can
substantially minimize the damage Vick can cause.

And, T.O. or not, the hub of the Philly attack remains QB Donovan
McNabb, whose wheels, though not quite Vick-like, are certainly good enough
to help him negate much of the pressure Mora's defense will likely bring.
Let's also not forget that a now-seasoned McNabb (33 TDP) isn't likely to
self-destruct, evidenced by the mere 8 picks he's tossed in '04. If McNabb
can dodge the Atlanta pass rush, he ought to be able to do some business vs.
a so-so Falcon 2ndary, even without Owens at his disposal. Remember that the
versatile Brian Westbrook, who was out with injury at this stage LY, can be
called upon to fill a variety of roles in Reid's offense, running for 70
yards and catching 5 passes for 47 more in last week's handy win over the
Vikings.

"Totals"-wise; consider the decided "under" slant of both teams this
season (Atlanta "under" 11 of 17, Philly "under" 12 of 17).

GOLD SHEET Analysis NEw England - Philly

New England 20 - PITTSBURGH 12-Neither of these QBs has ever lost a
playoff game as a starter! Although Pittsburgh rookie Ben Roethlisberger
"tried" last week vs. the Jets (two interceptions) and then-younger Tom Brady
was knocked out early in 2001's AFC title game in the Steel City with a rib
injury, with veteran Drew Bledsoe taking over and generating the winning
points in a 24-17 N.E. victory.

There are some important differences between this one and the first
Patriot-Steeler contest Oct. 31st. Pittsburgh won that game 34-20,
collecting 4 takeaways, building a 21-3 first-Q lead, and out-rushing New
England 221 to 5! N.E. was on a record 21-game winning streak at the time,
and the Pats went into the contest without RB Corey Dillon (minor injury;
DNP), key WR Deion Branch, and starting RT Tom Ashworth. The Pats were
coming off a key AFC East victory the week before vs. the then undefeated
Jets; the Steelers were coming off their bye. Facing a rookie QB making just
his fifth career start, N.E. was ripe for the picking. And AFC power-to-be
Pittsburgh gave the champs a thorough butt-kicking, sacking Brady 5 times,
intercepting him twice, & forcing him to fumble once (K.Faulk had the other
TO).

This time, it's the Steelers who have the long winning streak (15
straight), with Roethlisberger having started 14 of those (Tommy Maddox
filled in for the reg.-season finale at Buffalo). Now, Duce Staley (125 YR
in the first meeting) is not yet 100% on his strained hamstring, WR Plaxico
Burress (2 TDC in the first meeting) doesn't appear to have regained his full
effectiveness due to his own hamstring, and CB Deshea Townsend (39-yd. int.
TD in first meeting) is trying to get by despite a hand fracture.

New England, down three starters on its defense vs. Indy last week (CBs
Law & Poole; DE Seymour) and one on its offense (Ashworth), has shown it has
the depth and coaching to cope with the inevitable injury trials in an NFL
campaign. Corey Dillon (1535 YR TY; 144 more vs. Colts week ago) and Branch
are back. The entire Patriot team (30-2 its last 32 games overall; 24-7-1
vs. the spread) is now forewarned about the offensive power and the defensive
force that is the 2004 Steelers.

Perhaps most importantly, at least on defense, is the fact that the word
is out on the marvelous, rugged-but still rookie-Roethlisberger (66.4%, 17
TDs, 11 ints. in reg. season), who has now tossed 7 ints. in his last 4 games
overall, as opposing defenses have begun using a confusing array of zone
defenses against him, causing more hesitation than earlier in the season.
And who is better at camouflage, deception & confusion than Bill Belichick?
Whose defense has held practically-perfect Peyton Manning and the dynamic
Indy offense to a total of 17 points with 5 ints. the last two playoff
campaigns? Moreover, which of these two QBs has won 7 straight playoff
games, all by 3 points or more in the last 3+ seasons? Which QB has put his
team on the scoreboard first in 16 of 17 games TY? Lastly, must expect Brady
and heady off. coord. Charlie Weis to note the way the Jets' Chad Pennington
slowed down the Steelers zone blitzes last week, audibling to several
successful running plays into defensive weakness.

Earlier this year, a well-satisfied N.E. team traveled to Pittsburgh on
Halloween, and the Pats were the "treat" for the hungry Steelers, who pulled
the "trick." This time, look for the champs to have plenty of tricks of
their own. Totals players note that Pittsburgh allowed the fewest
points-against TY; N.E. tied for second.)

Net Prophet
NFL:

I've been scratching my head on these plays all week, and the abundance of snow and wind at both venues clouds the issue even more.* My initial lean in the AFC game was to the Patroits, but the bad weather would seem to favor the hometown Steelers.* In the NFC, I was leaning to Philadelphia but if you buy the theory that the snow favors the better rushing team that would put you on the Falcons.* Throwing another consideration into the mix, history indicates that conference title games are frequently one sided contests:* in fact, since the AFL/NFL merger nearly 70% of conference title games have been decided by double digit margins.* So the trick becomes isolating the team most likely to dominate the other, but that's not so easy this year due not only to the weather but to other variables:* Will Pittsburgh's rookie QB rise to the occasion with a trip to the Superbow on the line?* Can the Steelers dominate the Patriots twice in the same year?* Which team will benefit the most from bad weather?* Over in the NFC game, we've got another set of questions:* How will the dome team respond to playing in winter weather?* Most importantly, perhaps, is the Philadelphia injury situation--how much have they kept "under wraps" since Terrell Owens went out with an injury?*

We'll come back to the sides in a moment but let's turn our attention to the totals:* OVERs and UNDERs are an even 18-18 in the L36 championship games, but the "obvious" play this year has to be on the UNDER due to the foul weather.* My raw point projections (not accounting for the weather) have the Falcons/Eagles at 36 combined points and the Pats/Steelers at 33 total points.* In other words, a slight edge to the UNDER in both contests but any value on that position has been lost due to the line movement based on the projection of bad weather.* NFC game opened at 42, and that's down to 36 or 37.* AFC opened at 38 and is down to 34' everywhere.*

So we've got no value on the totals and big questions on the side positions for both games.* As a result, we'll make these recommendations only and hope for some entertaining matchups since there doesn't appear to be much to work with from a wagering standpoint:

AFC:* Recommendations only on New England/UNDER
NFC:* Recommendations only on Philadelphia/UNDER
