Houston -3 against the Bengals
New Orleans -11 against Detroit
Appalachia -9 against Denver
Giants -3 against Atlanta

Bengals +3
New Orleans -11
Appalachia -9
Giants -3

 

[cravnravn]

Cinny +3
Nawlins -11
Appalacia -9
Atlanta +3

 

[cincygrad]

You guys really comfortable with giving Detroit 11?

 

[cincygrad]

Oh....Also, give me your 'lock' of the week!

 

[rmilia1]

Atlanta is going to crush the Giants straight up. I like the Bengals to beat the Texans straight up. I like Dnever plus 9 only because I dont see the Steelers scoring very much ( 14-17 points). I wouldnt bet the NO-Detroit game unless it was the over. Only one I see you are way off on is the Atl-NYG game. I think Atlanta wins by 10+.

You guys really comfortable with giving Detroit 11?

Yup, in New Orleans..Detroits D just gave up 500 yards passing to who?

And New Orleans has a respectable D that will give Stafford fits,

 

[cravnravn]

Lock of the week is Steelers -9, Denver absolutely backed into the playoffs, Finally Teblow, will get to face a real defense.

It wouldnt shock me to see Denver shut out..

 

[bengaldoug]

I think the Saints win easily, but a backdoor cover by Detroit wouldn't surprise me a bit. I propose a sweetheart teaser, using all four games, adding thirteen points to each team. At most books, you'll have to give 6/5 odds....

Bengals +16
Saints +2
Appalachia +4
Falcons +16

All four have to win or the bet is a loser.....

 

[bengaldoug]

I don't see a lock, per se, though Appalachia -9 is close.....interestingly I wouldn't be a bit surprised to see the Tebow homers bet that down so that it's more like 7.5 or 8 by game day.....Steelers are banged up, and because of that probably won't score much, but they could easily shut out the Tebows......

Here are the lines I'm working with...... Give me the best bet(s).

Houston -3 against the Bengals
New Orleans -11 against Detroit
Appalachia -9 against Denver
Giants -3 against Atlanta

Bengals should win, but they've barely practiced because of the cold and Andy Dalton has missed crucial practice time. putting my homer aside and saying a repeat of our last game.

Houston +3
New Orleans may kill Detroit, but this is a playoff game, can't believe they'd lose by 11
Detroit
Pittsburgh will try to keep Tebow from running the 2 minute drill, but they have been dinged up and some are getting old. The line is about right. don't touch it.
Atlanta can score, but will they? don't touch it.

 

[cravnravn]

Dan, make some picks!!

 

[DanBengalfan]

I guess I'd lean toward Pitt and ATL, but I'd say the lines are correct.

houston and detroit are good bets, but I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket.

 

[Cincyfan78]

Houston
Saints
Don't touch the Pit/Den game.
Atl

It's not rocket science.

 

[CrashDavisSports]

Cincinnati 20 - Houston 17
Pittsburgh 23 - Denver 6
Atlanta 27 - New York 21
New Orleans 38 - Detroit 27

Those are my guesses on the scores.

 

[Tubbs1518]

I'd go

Cincy
Pitt
NO
NY

Atlanta just isn't that good of a team IMO and Ryan isn't that good of a QB IMO.

 

[JTEGGER]

I like:

Cincy+3
Over in New Orleans/Detroit.
Atlanta+3.
Under in Pitt/Denver (lock of the week)

 

[Tubbs1518]

I don't think Pitt is a lock. With the way Denver gets to the QB and Ben "hurt", I could see Denver's D giving them some trouble. I could see a 10-3 type game.

 

[rmilia1]

Im surprised by so many people thinking the Giants are covering. Atlanta is substantially better at WR, better at RB, QB is pretty even, Atlanta is better at almost every postion save maybe Dline. Only way Giants cover is if they get to Ryan 5-7 times. The NY secondary had no chance of covering White, Jones and Gonzalez unless the line gets HUGE pressure. Atlanta had a better record in a better division playing way tougher crossovers. Frankly Im sort of surprised the Giants are favored even if the game is in NY. This is my for sure lock of the week. Atlanta 31 Giants 13

 

[Tubbs1518]

No chance Atlanta scores that much. Ryan is barely a top 10 QB if he is at all.
