4* Balt - This is a tough game. We have Flacco going for his 4th road win in 2 years, against a Indy team that has owned him and Balt. Balt hasn't beaten these guys since Dec 2001, losing 6 staight. There is something about Indy come playoff time, they just crap the bed. Manning has 7 playoff wins?, with 4 coming in 2006 on their way to winning the SB. I remember Indy beating Denver back to back years in the early 2000's when Denver was on their way out after Elway retired, and then another win against K.C. So besides winning the SB, and a few easy first round wins, what has Manning done? You have to like the confidence in Flacco. He also has a very powerful running game behind him. We think Balt has lost a step defensively, but the ground game has made up for that. Balt has had a lot of close losses this year. Baltimore's 7 losses are by 39 points, with 2 being by 10 and 13, so thats 5 losses by 13 points. So these guys are in every game. The pressure is on Indy after resting players and not trying the last 2 weeks. Balt outright? Would it suprise you?
5* Jets - We are going with the Jets here. We know the line isn't 9, I put this out as soon as the line came out because I knew the sharp money was going on the Jets. No one is taking this team seriously. We had the Jets last week, and knew it wouldn't be hard to beat Cinci. Well these Chargers aren't Cinci, they are good. I think SD's only weakness is there lack of running game. But come playoff time you need a running game. And it won't be as easy for Sanchez this week, he is going to have to do more. You know what else hurts SD? Good old Norv Turner, reminds me a lot of Marty Schottenheimer, great regular season coach but can't get it done in the playoffs. We are going to ride the Jets D in this game. Grab the points.

25 Dime - Saints
There are a lot of people that were really down on NO in their last couple of games. They even lost to the Bucs in OT. But that was because their field goal kicker missed a chip shot as time expired. In the final game they rested their starters. People forgot how much money they made early in the season when the linesmaker couldn't make the line high enough on the Saints and they were covering everything. Well oddsmakers tend to catch up over the course of the season and they did with the Saints. That's why people are down on them. The Saints ARE a good team. They can score they can play defense and they have the best play caller in NFL. They are also going against one of the very best playoff QB's in the history of the game.
But this game I believe will come down to the defense of AZ. They are really banged up and the are playing on a short week on the road against a very rested Saint team. The Saints can be very balanced both running and passing and Brees can create matchup problems for anyone. It will be very difficult for the AZ defense to get pressure and keep up with the Saints. I believe that this line is more than off. I have the Saints as a double digit favorite in my lines.
10 Dime - Ravens
Baltimore got off to the best start imaginable last week with Rice busting the first play for 83 yards and a TD and the Ravens never looked back. They forced early turnovers and stunned the Pats.
I don't think that happens this week though. I know by heart the defense that Indy plays because they played it for so long here in Tampa. Here's what the Colt F will not allow the Ravens to do. Run the Ball. They will not come after Flacco what so ever. No how no way. They will not be fooled by play action. They will do everything to stop and disrupt the run and will make sure that the running back has the ball. So no play action fooling for them. Flacco will have to throw to beat the Colts. No 34 yards passing thi week for a win. But the Ravens play good D and that is something you should all look for. We said last week when we were one of the very few that selected the Ravens in the gme with NE that if you play D you can "hang around" any team. Yea the Ravens have lost like 7 straight to the Colts but they have kept them all close. I look at this game as a carbon copy of the Colts first loss vs the Jets. They were beating the Jets with their starters in but not by much. Once they pulled Manning and crew we know what happened. The Ravens are the same team. So look for a Colt win but look for the Ravens to hang around enough to cover.
