XSPower XNFL & NFL 2015 Football Side & Total Power Winners

[XSPower]

okay so i was off 28k on the 2014-2015 ncaa bowl games.. But how'd you do that regular season? Lost over 250k... No mention of that anywhere? And record keeping stopped in that trend or whatever the hell you call it..what about nfl playoffs last year? Stopped counting after it went over 100k in losses..

These are current results and just examples of my lastes posted here at the rx... There were a few RX MEMBERS (myself, vols, steve ray) that called out the rodfather out because he was down 250k in the football that season and the record we kept were accurate and I almost got banned for pointed that out!!!

I have never lost 250k in any sports and i never will!!! I have my limits and I have called season early for bad results or have taken long breaks to get focused..... If you don't take breaks from time to time it may cause you in your health!!!!

And the fact that you though being off 28k on my bowl record is just not acceptable come on man!!!! If you don't have the facts please do not reply!!! Look at all my post and of the many view i get daily if i was posting incorrect results don't you think I would head about it???

One season i was down 100k (in the middle) as I lost one set of grandparents in a short period of time..... It was a very hard pill to take but I got over it in time and saved the season and had a great bowl season to boot!!!!

NFL's biggest betting mismatches: Divisional Round

Kansas City Chiefs at New England Patriots (-5, 42)

Chiefs’ injured WR Jeremy Maclin vs. Patriots’ pass defense

The Chiefs caught a lot of people off guard with their 10-game – now 11 – winning streak after a 1-5 start. Kansas City’s defense has been solid throughout, but it wasn’t until receiver Jeremy Maclin and QB Alex Smith cooked up some chemistry that the Chiefs were a threat on both sides of the ball. Now Maclin is nursing an ankle injury which could either slow him down for the Divisional Round or keep him out entirely.

Maclin gave Kansas City something it had been lacking for seasons: a true deep threat. Defenses could no longer stack the box and bring in safeties, knowing KC couldn’t go beyond the sticks. However, with Maclin tearing up the turf, the Chiefs playbook had depth with the speedster reeling in 10 catches for 25 yards or more and finishing with 12.5 yards per reception.

The Patriots defense has always been a bend but don’t break group, and has been susceptible to the big play this season. According to SportingCharts.com, New England has given up 36 passing plays of 25 yards or more, which ranks sixth most in the NFL.

The Patriots like to keep everything in front of them and are quick to tackle, limiting opponents to just over 107 yards after the catch per game, which is among the lowest in the league. If Maclin does play, that questionable ankle could make his a few steps slower. If he’s out, Kansas City’s offense is about as one-dimensional as a Michael Bay flick.

Green Bay Packers at Arizona Cardinals (-7, 50)

Packers’ pass-catching RBs vs. Cardinals’ overaggressive defense

There aren’t many positives to take from the Packers’ 38-8 waxing at the hands of the Cardinals in Week 16. If you’re a Cheesehead, the majority of that game film can be supressed down deep in your consciousness, like that time you pooed yourself on the trampoline in grade school.

But the one takeaway would be Eddie Lacy’s 28-yard touchdown catch and run in the third quarter. Arizona rushed six, and Rodgers burned them with a dump to Lacy, who rumbled to the end zone for the Packers’ only touchdown of the game. Lacy, along with fellow running mate James Starks, have combined for five receiving scores and 580 yards through the air – kind of.

Most of those gains were made after the catch, a category in which Arizona has struggled to defend. The Cardinals are allowing nearly 131 yards after the catch per game, which sits among the most in the NFL. A lot of that has to do with the blitz-happy playbook, leaving opposing QBs to quickly check down to the running back to avoid pressure.

Arizona has watched rival RBs reel in 77 catches for 740 yards receiving, for an average of 9.6 yards per receptions – or pretty much a first down. The Cardinals could get a healthy dose of Lacy and Starks, who sits third among running backs in YAC, especially if they bring that same pressure like they did in Week 16, when they sacked Rodgers nine times. The Packers offensive line is in better shape now and did a good job giving their QB time versus Washington last weekend.

Sunday's NFL Divisional betting preview: Seahawks at Panthers and Steelers at Broncos

Seattle Seahawks at Carolina Panthers (-2.5, 40.5)

The Seattle Seahawks escaped a near-certain defeat in the opening round of the playoffs and continue their bid for a third straight trip to the Super Bowl when they visit the top-seeded Carolina Panthers on Sunday afternoon. Seattle squeezed out a 10-9 victory at Minnesota last weekend when Vikings kicker Blair Walsh missed a 27-yard field-goal attempt in the final minute.

The sixth-seeded Seahawks now get a chance to avenge a regular-season home loss to the Panthers, who erased a 13-point, second-half deficit in a 27-23 victory at Seattle in Week 6. The Seahawks have reeled off six consecutive road wins, surrendering a scant total of 43 points in that stretch. Carolina, which won its first 14 games and pounded Tampa Bay 38-10 in the season finale, was expecting a rematch against Seattle. "After we played them, we said, 'We'll see you again in the playoffs,'" Panthers star cornerback Josh Norman said. "It's cool. Fate gives you these chances to prove yourself worthy."

LINE HISTORY: Since opening as 3-point home favorites, the Panthers were bet all the way down to -1, before bouncing back to -2.5. The total has yet to move off its opening number of 44.

INJURY REPORT:

Seahawks - DE M. Bennett (probable Sunday, toe), RB M. Lynch (probable Sunday, hernia), TE L. Wilson (probable Sunday, concussion), FB W. Tukuafu (doubtful Sunday, hamstring).

Panthers - LB D. Mayo (probable Sunday, hamstring), S K. Coleman (probable Sunday, foot), WR T. Ginn (questionable Sunday, knee), LB A. Klein (questionable Sunday, hamstring), RB F. Whittaker (out Sunday, ankle).

WEATHER REPORT: It could be wet in Charlotte on Sunday. It will be partly cloudy wuth a 54 percent chance of rain. Temperatures will be in the low 40's and there will be a 5-7 mile per hour wind gusting towards the southeast end zone.

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "We opened Panthers pick'em and that number got decimated by the public, forcing us to get to 3 within hours of opening our number. We got to 3 flat before the sharp's got involved, they took +3 -110, +3 -115 and +3 -120, at which point we went down to 2.5 and eventually 2 flat. Then the public got involved again and we got back to 2.5 flat and then -2.5 -120, which is our current number. This game has seen some serious line movement and I honestly hate our position going into tomorrow. This should be a very closely contest matchup and I could see 3 coming into play quite easily. In fact, it's a game that has Panthers by 3 written all over it, and if it lands 3 as of now we get crushed. We've only written Seahawks money at the number 3, so all that money would be refunded and all the action on the Panthers that drove us to 3 would cash." - Pete Childs, supervisor of risk management for Sportsbook.ag.

ABOUT THE SEAHAWKS (11-6, 8-8-1 ATS, 7-10 O/U): After surviving ice-box conditions in Minnesota, Seattle is hoping for the return of running back Marshawn Lynch, who practiced fully last week for the first time since undergoing abdominal surgery on Nov. 25 but said he wasn't ready to go against the Vikings. Russell Wilson, who threw for 241 yards and a touchdown in the earlier meeting, had 24 TD passes and one interception in a seven-game span before being limited to 142 yards against Minnesota. As good as Seattle's defense has been on the road, it allowed four 80-yard TD drives to the Panthers in Week 6.

ABOUT THE PANTHERS (15-1, 11-5 ATS, 10-5-1 O/U): Cam Newton was picked off twice in the first matchup, but he has thrown for 21 touchdowns and only one interception over his last eight games. Greg Olsen continued a trend of tight ends burning Seattle's defense by hauling in seven passes for 131 yards, including the go-ahead 26-yard TD with under a minute to play. Jonathan Stewart, who ran for 78 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the earlier meeting, will return to the lineup after missing three games due to a foot injury. Carolina's defense sacked Wilson four times and is third in the league with 40.

TRENDS:

* Seahawks are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 road games vs. a team with a winning home record.
* Panthers are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 home games.
* Over is 4-0 in Panthers last 4 games following a ATS win.
* Under is 5-0 in Seahawks last 5 games overall.

COVERS CONSENSUS: The public is backing the NFC's No. 1 seed in this rematch from the regular season with 63 percent of wagers on the Panthers. As for the total 68 percent of wagers are on the under.

Pittsburgh Steelers at Denver Broncos (-7.5, 40.5)

Peyton Manning knows all too well that the playoffs present a one-and-done scenario. With nine defeats in his team's initial playoff game on his resume, the 39-year-old Manning isn't taking anything for granted heading into the AFC West-champion Denver Broncos' divisional-round clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

"Playoffs, anything goes," Manning told reporters on Wednesday. "Everything's on the table." The veteran missed Denver's 34-27 setback to Pittsburgh on Dec. 20 due to a left foot injury but entered the team's regular-season finale and engineered four scoring drives en route to a 27-20 victory over San Diego. Ben Roethlisberger threw for 380 yards and three touchdowns while All-Pro Antonio Brown made 16 catches for 189 yards in the initial meeting with the Broncos, but both stars were injured during Pittsburgh's 18-16 wild-card win over AFC North-rival Cincinnati last week. Roethlisberger returned to the contest despite nursing a shoulder injury while Brown was drilled by Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict and is in the NFL's concussion protocol.

LINE HISTORY: With injuries to several key players to the Steelers the line was held off the board for the majority of the week and eventually opened the Broncos as 5-point faves and quickly moved to -7. With Antonio Brown out the line moved to -8 and has settled back down at Broncos -7.5. The total has been bet up two points from 38.5 to 40.5.

INJURY REPORT:

Steelers - FB W. Johnson (probable Sunday, hamstring), QB B. Roethlisberger (probable Sunday, shoulder), LB R. Shazier (probable Sunday, knee), DE C. Heyward (probable Sunday, back), S R. Golden (probable Sunday, shoulder), WR S. Coates (questionable Sunday, illness), CB D. Grant (questionable Sunday, groin), RB D. Williams (out Sunday, foot), WR A. Brown (out Sunday, head).

Broncos - LB D. Ware (probable Sunday, knee), S O. Bolden (probable Sunday, groin), S D. Stewart (probable Sunday, hamstring), CB C. Harris (probable Sunday, shoulder), QB B. Osweiler (questionable Sunday, knee).

WEATHER REPORT: It should be a nice day for football in Denver. It will be partly cloudy with just a 12 percent chance of rain and temperatures in the mid 30's. There will just be minimal wind.

COVERS POWER RANKINGS:Steelers (-3.5) - Broncos (-3) + home field (-3) = Broncos -2.5

WHAT BOOKS SAY: "We opened up a very bad number on the Broncos, opening up -4 and we paid the price for a poor number.Our limits were low at the time as we had the game circled with Big Ben nursing a shoulder surgery and Antonio Brown very questionable because he was going through Concussion Protocol, we weren't exactly sure what to open.While we opened up low, we booked this game very aggressively and it didn't take much for us to get to 6, then 6.5, and eventually to 7; then news broke that Brown wasn't going to play tomorrow we immediately went to 7.5 which is our current number.So far roughly 65% of the action is on the Broncos, most of that action between the numbers of 4 to 7 points, and any and all Steelers money is on them at +7.5, so once again we're not in the best position going into this game if it lands 7 it's going to hurt." - Pete Childs, supervisor of risk management for Sportsbook.ag.

ABOUT THE STEELERS (11-6, 9-6-2 ATS, 6-11 O/U): With a sprained AC joint and torn ligaments in his shoulder, Roethlisberger likely isn't going to throw the ball around with the same frequency (season-high 55 attempts) that he did in the first meeting with the Broncos. Should Brown sit out on Sunday, Roethlisberger will turn to wideouts Martavis Bryant and Markus Wheaton - as well as trusty tight end Heath Miller - to move the ball down the field. Playing without veteran DeAngelo Williams (foot), the duo of Jordan Todman (65 yards) and Fitzgerald Toussaint (58 yards rushing, 60 yards receiving) provided a backfield presence in the wild-card game.

ABOUT THE BRONCOS (12-4, 8-8 ATS, 6-9-1 O/U): Former Steeler Emmanuel Sanders hopes Sunday's tilt will feature a repeat of his strong performance in the first meeting, when he reeled in a season-high 10 catches for 181 yards and a touchdown. "You get ready for everything, but teams aren’t going to change what they do that much in the playoffs," Sanders told reporters. "You get ready to adjust, but we do what we do, they do what they do and you execute." Fellow wideout Demaryius Thomas had two of his six touchdown receptions this season against Pittsburgh.

TRENDS:

* Steelers are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 Divisional Playoffs games.
* Broncos are 1-5 ATS in their last 6 playoff games.
* Under is 8-2 in Steelers last 10 road games.
* Over is 6-1 in the last 7 meetings.

COVERS CONSENSUS: The public is fairly split in this matchup, with 52 percent of wagers on the Broncos. When it comes to the total, 57 percent of wagers are on the over.

NFL's biggest betting mismatches: Conference Championships

New England Patriots at Denver Broncos (+3, 44.5)

Patriots’ red-zone defense vs. Broncos’ red-zone troubles

Offense has been an issue for the Broncos ever since Father Time sacked Peyton Manning sometime around Week 9 of the 2014 season, which so happened to be a 43-21 loss to the Patriots in Fox borough in mid-November. That poor finish to the 2014 campaign snowballed into 2015, with Denver’s offense scoring just over 22 points per game this year.

Finding the end zone has been challenging, especially when the Broncos venture inside their opponents’ 20-yard lines. Denver has scored touchdowns on just under 48 percent of its red-zone trips – which sits sixth lowest in the entire league – and in the past three games, the Broncos have found pay dirt in just 43 percent of those attempts. With Manning back under center, scoring has seen an uptick since his triumphant return in Week 17, but Denver has settled for seven field goals and scored only three touchdowns.

New England has been a “bend but don’t break” defense for a while now. The Patriots did give up big plays throughout the year but turned up the intensity when foes were able to crack the red zone. On the season, the Pats limited opponents to just under three red-zone visits per game and allowed a touchdown in half of those attempts.

Against the Chiefs in the Divisional Round, the New England defense forced Kansas City to settle for two first-half field goals and while it did give up two touchdowns, one was a garbage time score with 1:13 left in the one-sided win. Heading into that game, the Chiefs were dominating in the red zone, scoring touchdowns at a 66 percent clip inside the twenty during their 11-game winning streak.

 

[XSPower]

Arizona Cardinals at Carolina Panthers (-3, 47.5)

Cardinals’ speedy defense vs. Panthers’ slow field

One complaint coming out of last weekend’s battle between the Seahawks and Panthers was the field conditions at Bank of America Stadium. Early in the game, Seattle’s defense was having troubles with traction, forcing them to switch to longer studs in their cleats. However, the sloppy surface continued to plague the visitor – or at least scorned Seahawks players made it seem so in their postgame comments.

Bank of America Stadium saw a lot of traffic as well as a lot of rain heading into that Divisional Round contest, including two Panthers games and the Belk Bowl on Dec. 30. The grounds crew had re-sodded the surface but that was softened by rain and snow on game day. The forecast in Charlotte this week is calling for ice and rain Friday and snow again Saturday before giving way to sunny skies Sunday.

To the Panthers’ defense, as coach Ron Rivera told reporters, “Both teams played on it”. But slick field conditions can impact some teams more than others. Arizona, much like Seattle, has a very aggressive defense that relies on speed to overwhelm opposing offenses. The Cardinals are used to playing on grass inside University of Phoenix Stadium, but that’s grown outside and brought in for optimal playing conditions. A slick track, whether it be snow or mud, seems to benefit the ball carrier more than the defense simply because the runner knows which way they're going and the would-be tackler does not.

On offense, pushing through the pile or making a quick cut could be like running on banana peels Sunday. Arizona running back David Johnson told reporters he may have to change his running style, “running downfield a little bit more, not trying to juke as much.” The Cardinals and Panthers met on a similar battle field in the Wild Card Round last year, with Carolina winning 27-16 against an injury-depleted Arizona offense. The Cards managed only 27 yards on 15 rushing attempts and sacked Cam Newton only once in that postseason clash.

Wiseguy Report: Final Four in the NFL

Denver was out gained by more than two full yards per PLAY against the Steelers. It was not vintage Peyton Manning, to put it mildly: 37 pass attempts for 215 yards, with only two passes all afternoon gaining more than 15 yards. If you were watching the game, you already know how many missed connections that Manning had with his receivers – no shortage of inaccurate passes and dropped balls. With the exception of one explosive 34 yard run by CJ Anderson, Denver’s running game wasn’t much better. Anderson and Ronnie Hillman’s other 30 carries combined for just 76 yards.

But the Broncos avoided mistakes, playing turnover free football; the first time as a starter all season in which Manning did not throw at least one interception. Manning was well protected, taking only one sack. And, more than anything else, the Broncos defense was tremendous, holding Pittsburgh out of the end zone following a single first quarter TD drive. Denver’s D also forced the only turnover of the game, and it was a HUGE one, turning a promising Steelers fourth quarter drive into a fumble recovery that led to the game winning touchdown.

Broncos coordinator Wade Phillips has had the #1 defense in the NFL all year long; a stop unit that’s been good enough to carry the team for extended stretches this season. That includes their Week 12 win right here in Denver against the same team they’ll face on Sunday – the defending champion New England Patriots.

Tom Brady and the Patriots had the easiest path to victory of any team this past weekend, even though New England - like the other three teams that won in the Divisional Round – had only a one TD margin of victory in the end. Brady will be playing in his tenth AFC title game; and his fifth in a row; a true testament to greatness in a parity filled league. Brady enjoyed the 17[SUP]th[/SUP] playoff game of his career with at least two TD passes, an NFL record. Most importantly, he didn’t commit any turnovers in a game where New England played out of three (or more) wide receiver sets on 47 of their first 50 snaps.

The Patriots defense looked vulnerable against KC, allowing a whopping 12 third down conversions and 135 yards on the ground. But that stop unit also kept the Chiefs out of the end zone until midway to through the third quarter, after the Pats already had three TD’s on the board. It’s worth noting that the Pats defense took a couple of injury hits, however, with LB’s Jamie Collins and Dont’a Hightower both limping off the field.

Carson Palmer had never won a playoff game in his 13 year NFL career prior to Saturday Night’s truly wild and weird win over Green Bay. And Palmer was certainly not at his best in Arizona’s win over Green Bay. A Cardinals team that was nothing short of exceptional at creating big plays with their vertical passing game struggled mightily in that regard against the Packers.

Palmer threw three TD passes , but he also threw a pair of interceptions, including one particularly bad one in the red zone. Several other potential interceptions were dropped by Green Bay defenders. One of Palmer’s TD’s came on a tipped pass in the end zone, rarely a recipe for success. The Cardinals settled for a pair of red zone field goals and their defense nearly blew the game by allowing a Hail Mary TD pass on the final play, just seconds after allowing the Packers to convert on fourth and 20 to keep the game alive.

Palmer, following the game: "We didn't feel like they were going to come in here and score 35 points on us. We have a lot of faith in our defense. And they weren't going to let us score 35 points. They were sitting back in a ton of different two-high looks."

Arizona head coach Bruce Arians, talking about his QB’s early jitters: “Carson wanted to start out this game throwing short. At halftime I said, 'Look, they are giving us chunks. We've got too many chunk plays in here … not to use them. And then he was settled down by then and ready to use them." It’s worth noting that after the game, Arians gave his team two full days off before prepping for the Panthers; a rarity for this time of year.
Cardinals defensive back Rashad Johnson: “[Palmer] just had that confident look. If you have played any sports or done any type of competitive activity, you see a guy that is confident. He can say, 'I got you,' and you know it."

Carolina beat Seattle in a tale of two halves, with the Panthers rolling out to a 31-0 halftime lead, then forced to hang on for the win after the Seahawks scored 24 unanswered following the break. This is not an easy game for box score breakdowns or for clear takeaways; the blowout that wasn’t.

Can Newton following the contest, referencing another big blown lead, when Carolina blew a 35-7 second half lead against the Giants in Week 15 before winning on a late field goal. “We have to find a way to complete a full game of football. We have been known to take our foot off the throttle, and we have to find that killer instinct."

Panthers LB Luke Kuechly, who’s early pick six ended up being the final margin of victory: “That's what this game is going to teach us. No matter how good you play in the first half, the second half is just as important. It's crazy. You go into these games, and you expect it to be like this, so it wasn't a surprise for us. But you've got to be locked in the whole game."

Carolina’s defense has now either blown big leads or come close to blowing big leads three times in their last five victories. If the Panthers don’t learn the lesson they were supposed to have learned already about protecting leads, they’ll certainly be vulnerable to the upset as home chalk against Arizona on championship Sunday.
