NFC & AFC Championships

Playoffs 4-4 ATS & 5-3 SU: Divisional Week: 2-2 SU & ATS: SEA 20 @ GB 42 (-9); JAX 20 (+13.5) @ NE 31; SD 28 @ IND (-9) 24; NYG 21 @ DAL (-9) 17.

Shocked that 3 road dogs won ATS and 2 SU in divisional week. Colts & Pokes both took a dirt nap on their own prairie, daydreaming ahead to Patriots & Packers respectively.

This counting of chickens prior to hatching allowed SD Bolts & NY Gmen to advance to title games, while IND & DAL sit at home and have the offseason to daydream about what if.

#2 GB Packers #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 is #2 in rushing yards, last week 200+ vs Squaks, look out.

#5 NY Giants, #16 offense (#21 pass, #4 run); #7 defense (#11 pass, #8 run) Giants started 6-2, finished 6-4...

barely losing to Pats in NY, 10-1 on road, only road loss at Dallas opening day.

Gmen led NFL in sacks 52 and used pressure vs Pokes to cover up their weak secondary.

Last 3 away, Gmen rushing for 160 ypg & 4.8 per carry, keeping Eli from dancin in the pocket.

Last 3 home, Packer rush D 53 ypg, 2.5 ypc. Gmen ground game will get stuffed on the tundra.

Pack will convert in the red zone, Gmen wont, last 3 Gmen O 60% vs GB D 28.6%; GB O 81.85 vs Gmen D 87.5%.

The Packers will run and exploit the NYG secondary with their BIG 5 wideout formation. NYG rush D 113ypg 4.1ypc; GB rush 210ypg, 5.8ypc.

Week 2 GB @ NYG 35-13 Packers in a rout, before they found a running game. Gmen attempting to win 3 straight road playoff games, its a stretch.

Last week Pack took a quick dirt nap & spotted Squaks 14, then 42-6 in the snow. Gmen won a fluke vs cursed daydreaming Pokes.

On road ATS vs team with winning record, NYG 7-0; GB at home last 5 ATS 5-0.

In a rout, on the tundra of Lambeau, in a blizzard, the Packers win in the trenches.

Pick GB ( -7) vs NYG.

#1 NE Patriots #1 offense (#1 pass; #13 run); #4 defense (#6 pass, #10 run) Patriots finished 16-0.

But struggled to win down the stretch 6 of last 7, and did not cover ATS 7 of last 9.

#3 SD Chargers #20 offense (#26 pass, #7 run); #14 defense (#14 pass, #16run) played in footballs weakest division.

After 1-3 start, led the league with +24 turnover ratio, and went 12-2 (road losses to hot Vikes & Jags).

Bolts anemic passing game forces their #7 run game to try holding the ball and keep #1 NE O off the field.

Diego 5-4 on the road. Can the Bolts run on the Pats? Probably, last 3 Home & Away NE Run D 4.6ypc; SD Run O 3.9ypc.

Last year Divisional playoff Pats stole one at Diego. Week 2 SD @ NE, Pats in an embarrassing rout 38-14.

Lately? Bolts looking like last year, but QB Rivers, RB Tomlinson, TE Gates all injured, no matter, they want redemption.

Bolt D killed 4 Colt scoring drives, 3 TO's & 1 stopped on downs, yet allowed 402 yds, will the Pats oblige?

Brady was almost perfect last week 26-28, law of averages sez he is overdue to lay an egg vs opportunistic & quick Bolt D.

ATS SD 14-3-1 as a dog; ATS & SU SD 8-0 streak, NE 1-6 ATS. Pats aren't covering while Bolts are, so... Pick NE vs SD (+14)
