Default Early Playoff thoughts.

In general and from a betting prospective....

Texans get a huge break drawing the Bengals with a rookie QB having to go on the road. Ill stay take the Bengals though. I dont believe in the Texans, not one bit.

Saints are better, a lot better. I just dont have that gut feeling type thing going on for this game. Ill be betting it because its the playoffs and Ill have to lay the points. It feels like a Saints blowout or a shocker like them losing to Seattle last year. I think they were 10 point road favorite in that game.

Denver has looked like ****. But I would have to take the 8 at home.

Love Atlanta over the Giants. Lines not out yet, but Im guessing Giants are around 3 to open and they bet Atlanta down to around a pick at game time. LOVE ATLANTA.

Texans seem up against it without their QB, think the Bengals win in a low scoring affair. Broncos should lose by double digits even at home. Saints really on a roll but this will be a high scoring affair...pick Saints. Atlanta vs the Giants is a game that I have no idea....which Giant team shows up?

Every single team in the playoffs is extremely beatable. I have no other thoughts. Denver and Detroit are the least likely to win the Super Bowl. I think Houston is the most likely to pull a Jets and make a conference championship game with a bad qb.

extremely? i don't think the saints or packers are extremely beatable. denver will be eaten for lunch. i think the pats are a weak one seed. giants-depends on who shows up. but several really tough teams in there.

The Texans & Bengals is a toss up, slight edge to the Texans because the Bengals haven't beat a playoff caliber team......
Saints are way to tough at home, this will be a shoot out with the Saints coming out on top.
Giants & Falcons comes down to where it's played; at the Meadowlands, Giants win it late in a close one.
Steelers travel to Denver, no problem....the Steelers "D" wrecks Tebow and turnovers will be the difference in a Pittsburgh victory.
with the lines......TEXANS (over) LIONS (WAY over) GIANTS (under) BRONCOS (over)

the Saints are not a great road team and that is where they go after next weekend. The Packers can't play defense at all. They're very beatable. Not that they will be. I think the Giants, Saints, 49ers could all potentially beat them however. I honestly think Denver will stay in the game against Pittsburgh. I just saw the Cleveland freakin Browns play close to even the last two weeks against the Ravens and Steelers in must win games for both teams. they're all extremely beatable in this post season.

Lock of the first round. Its a stone cold lock, and when you have been on fire for 4 months you have the bullets to play it.

Pacman gets burned and Simpson's going to lose his nuts if he keeps that up.

I would say this is classic, however the proper adjective would be, expected.

I lost a ton on ATL, a ton. Check the original post though. I went 2-2 this weekend and bet Denver for a lot more then I would have had Atl won. Denver moneyline got me a lot of $ back, and Denver moneyline with LSU tomorrow night parlay is paying enough to get me way out.
Good call on the Giants though, but Ill take 2-2 with a sold 8 dog ML.

He didn't.

Why do you bother trying to keep him honest? Just enjoy the locks and analysis he provides and be thankful you don't have to pay for such a good service.
