A little HONDO taste for those who might be interested
Here’s how the Divisionals add up:
Saints-Seahawks: Much is being made of the Saints’ 34-7 Week 13 loss at CenturyLink. However, if Sean Payton is half the genius he thinks he is, Hondo is confident proper adjustments will be made. After all, it’s not like the Seahags were unbeatable at home — the Redbirds provided a late-season blueprint on how to do it. And don’t rule out the impact of the weather — there’s a 100 percent chance of rain, which could precipitate an upset. But probably not. Seahawks 28-23. = He had Saints covern the+9 or 10 do tats a WIN
Colts-Patriots: Hate to throw a wet blanket on all the devout believers in St. Andrew, but let’s face it, if it wasn’t for bad Luck (which necessitates many of his comebacks), there wouldn’t be all this talk about great Luck. And now he heads into the Beli of the Beast. Count on Belichick pulling something out of his hoodie that will bring out the bad Luck. The Colts keep it close, but the Luck stops here. Patriots 31-27. = He had COLTS covering the+7.5 so a LOSS
49ers-Panthers: These teams may look like mirror images — dynamic QBs, grind-it-out offenses, smothering defenses — but further reflection shows otherwise. And don’t read too much into the way the Panthers’ Kaepernickel Defense shut down SF’s QB in their Week 10 win. Since then, two key weapons — Vernon Davis and Michael Crabtree — have returned to the Niners, while Steve Smith is now hobbling on a bad knee. It may take the Kaeped Krusader’s (Ric) Flair for the dramatic, but expect San Fran to pin a narrow defeat on the Panthers. 49ers 19-16. = He touts San FRAN to win and cover the PIKUM so that means we got LANG - HONDO - MIGHT QUINN all on SAN FRAN
Chargers-Broncos: It’s Mile High, so the joint will be jumping, and it will be puffed and passed as well. Freak stat: The last four Super Bowl winners have played the Eagles in their home openers, which would seem to bode well for the Chargers, who saddled the Broncos their only home loss. However, Wes Welker’s return puts Denver’s receiving corps at full strength, which should be enough to prevent Peyton from having to explain another embarrassing early playoff dismissal. SD’s Super dream will go up in smoke, but don’t hesitate to bolt down a bet on the Chargers. Broncos 35-27. = line is 8 but he touted this on Friday nite when Denver was -10 so i read as a Charger tout to cover
