Bountiful Road Trips In Store Wild Card Weekend!

Remember, use my picks to wager $$$ at your own risk. If you lose, I had nothing to do with it. If you win beaucoup $$$, a 10% tip would be cool.  But, I’m realistic. This is just for your entertainment…or not, and for me to keep my sports “mojo” going until “I’m back in the saddle”. Remember the league’s unofficial motto…“ON ANY GIVEN SUNDAY, MONDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY OR SATURDAY……….

Last Week: 13-3  Season: 155-101

WILD CARD WEEKEND

SUNDAY

NFC

6 GREEN BAY PACKERS +2.5 @ 3 PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 46.5 pts

-Expect plenty of points. Eagles QB Mike Vick a little banged up with a bad wheel. He’ll be fine and will look for DeSean Jackson. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers can match Vick stride for stride and pass for pass.  Packers defense is superior. Close. PACKERS (21-16, PACKERS)

AFC

5 BALTIMORE RAVENS -3 @ 4 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS O/U 40.5 pts

-Chiefs with leagues top running game featuring Jamaal Charles & Thomas Jones. Ravens can run too with Ray Rice. KC QB Matt Cassel likes to find Dwayne Bowe. Ravens QB Joe Flacco has Anquan Bouldin. Difference is Baltimore’s defense featuring LB Ray Lewis. RAVENS (30-7, RAVENS)

SATURDAY

NFC

5 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS -10 @ 4 SEATTLE SEAHAWKS O/U 45 pts
-Defending World Champion Saints have NEVER won a road playoff game. There’s a first for everything. Just ask the Seahawks who are the first team in history to win a division with a sub .500 record. Saints a bit banged up at RB. Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck starts. He threw for over 340 yards in regular season loss to Saints. It’ll be close for a bit. SAINTS (41-36, SEAHAWKS)

AFC

6 NY JETS of NEW JERSEY +2.5 @ 3 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS 44.5 pts
-Rematch of last year’s AFC Championship won by Colts. Jets opened a 14-3 halftime lead in that one behind the arm of rookie QB Mark Sanchez before Peyton Manning took over in the second half. Both Sanchez and Manning are healthy. Same can‘t be said for the Colts RBs and WRs. Colts went 0-3 against teams that run the 3-4 defensive scheme in November, the same scheme the Jets run. JETS (17-16, JETS)
