NFC Divisional Playoff 2008
Last week: 3-1 straight up, but 1/2 point on Jags and Redskins inability to execute vs weak Squaks drop the Schwam to .500 for wild card week vs the spread.
ATS 2-2 : WAS 14 ( +3) @ SEA 35; JAX (-2.5) 31@ PIT 29; NYG (+3) 24 @TB 14; TEN 6 @ SD (-10) 17
#1 North Dallas Forty Pokes #3 offense (#4 pass, #17 run); #9 defense (#13 pass, #6 run) after beating GB, coasted to close a lackluster 2-2 (rested week 17 vs WAS).
#5 New York City Football Giants, #16 offense (#21 pass, #4 run); #7 defense (#11 pass, #8 run)
Giants started 6-2, finished 4-4 barely losing to Pats in NY, 8-1 on road, only road loss at Dallas opening day.
Last 3 (PHI, @CAR, @WAS) Poke's forgot run game 67 ypg, 3 ypc. GMen run D 76 ypg, 3 ypc, good? Guess again...
too busy defending the pass 225 ypg. #4 Poke passing attack will carve up #21 Gmen pass D, reopening Poke ground game, increasing time of possession, resting D.
Last 3 away Gmen rushing for 167 ypg & 4.8 per carry, keeping Eli from dancin in the pocket.
Dallas #6 run D will shut Gmen #4 run game down forcing Manning to throw which means "happy feet" and turnovers.
Tampa Bay was thin and ready to be had. The Pokes are semi asleep, but deep and ready.
Expect a redux of the two regular season meetings, a track meet decided by Manning's mistakes and Cowboy TOP. Pick DAL -9 vs NYG
#2 Green Bay Cheeseheads #2 offense (#2 pass, #21 run) #11 defense (#12 pass, #14 run)
Back with D, Favre had a record year. From Week 8 on Ryan Grant was #2 in rushing yards, look out Pokes.
The Pack led the league in offensive and defensive penalty yards, yet still finished with only 2 losses to Da Bears and Week 13 Big D loss sans several key players.
#3 Seahawks Sleeping in Seattle #9 offense (#8 pass, #20 run); #15 defense (#19 pass, #12 run)
They won footballs 2nd weakest division by default finishing 6-2, 7-1 at home, the Hawks had the fewest offensive penalty yards.
Squaks are another team on the road 3-5 losses (ATL, CAR, CLE, PIT, ARZ). Last 3 away Seattle D slipped allowing 349 yds pg.
Last 3 home, defending the run and holding the rock, GB D 87 rush yds 3.6 ypc; GB rush 166 ypg, 4.9 ypc.
Squak ground game will be held in check this week, forcing Hasselbeck to air it out and make mistakes.
The Pack will move the ball and score at will, this mismatch will provide the 2nd largest humiliation of the week. Pick GB -9 vs SEA
