Those of you that have followed me know my specialty is the playoffs. I've just come off a fantastic MLB playoff run and last yrs NBA was outstanding. Much of the same for the NFL. I think today is the better of the two days but here are my selections for Wildcard weekend.
5* Sd -6.5, Jets four rd wins against AZ, Clev, Miami and SD in wk 2 of the season. SD was 7-1 at h and will pay back Jets for only hm loss. Jets had playoff type game last week and lost to a much worse team in St L. SD has covered this number every hm gm but two and is 12-0-2 ats L14.
4* Sea under 50.5, St L has scored less than 17 pts in ea of their last 5 rd games and in 6 of 8 overall on the rd. On the other hand Sea is 11-2 ats to the over. I think Sea gets double revenge, plays better D this wk against a team coming off of a very emotionally draining win just to get here and they keep this one under the number.
4* GB -6, MN is so poor defensively they made both Hutchinson and Ramsey look like All Pros. Favre will have a field day and Moss is still not 100% healthy making him ineffective. MN o-line is banged up and the offense won't be able to produce enough to keep it close. If these two teams have had two games decided by a last second fg, why did Vegas post GB-6? Sucker bet for Minny $$$
3* Sea -3.5, Sea has been terrible against the number 2-11 L13, but I'm looking for the dble revenge and poor St L rd team to add up to a win and cover.
Here's a bonus college bball play. My first selection of the year.
5* MN -13.5, P St is terrible, MN has beaten P St by 16, 15,24,and 24 in the last four meetings at Williams Arena. This was when P St had a big man and an all conference shooting guard. MN has won their nine h gms by an average of 18pts. This is only P St's fourth rd gm and they are coming off a 26 pt thumping by Mich St in their Big 10 opener at home. It's all Minny here.
