Early Playoff Lines

[The Big Tease]

Lets get this early talking going....

Seattle at Green Bay -7

Dallas at Carolina -3

Denver at Indianapolis -3



At first look I really like Indianapolis. Although Denver rested some players, they were on a roll and I really think that that bad loss may affect them emotionally. Some may disagree, but that was a team on a roll and I think it was a mistake by Shanahan to phone that game in.

Also seems like a lot of points to give to Seattle.......But I wanted to take GB in this one hoping that the line was 4-5. You know how these lines go....we may be looking at a GB blow out

Since home teams tend to dominate in the early playoff rounds, I'll probably play a parlay on all the home teams.

The best value IMO is Carolina -3. Dallas played over their head in the first matchup and squeezed out a win. Carolina should dominate this meeting.

I know that the Ravens have won the last few in this series, but I'm still suprised that they are favored in this spot. I like the Titans to advance.

Also, Green Bay will roll over Seattle in this one. The score will be similar to the game they played earlier in the year.

The Colts/Broncos game could go either way...I'll probably make a small play on the Colts though.

Man...I cant believe that the Ravens are not at least a 3 point fav in this spot!!! I love the Ravens here. Not many teams enjoy as large of a home field advantage then the Ravens. I will take them all day in this spot.

I hope they win and the Broncos win...so that my Chiefs can get the Ravens at home. Easy winner.....LOL!

Not gonna happen though....

Got a feeling that everything has to go through Foxboro......I can see the Broncos knocking off the Pats but I dont see them getting a shot at them.

hmm...for some reason I was thinking that the Titans were playing at home -- probably because they had locked up their playoff spot a couple of weeks ago. I may have to go with the Ravens in this spot...they will be tough to beat at home.

Since home teams tend to dominate in the early playoff rounds

Home teams tend to dominate Round 2 of the playoffs - the teams off a bye have a good winning percentage. If you're going to see upsets happen, you have a better chance of seeing them happen in Week 1, or in the conference finals.

I also like Carolina. Dallas has been less than impressive of late.
GB is playing great ball(6-1 over last 7). Handled Seattle with ease earlier, and should repeat the romp.

Not sure what to think about Denver, other than they should be rested. Going to have to do some work on that one.

Seattle at Green Bay -7....GB BIG, 34-17

Dallas at Carolina -3...Car but tight game, 20-17

Denver at Indianapolis -3 ....Den in a tight game, 24-20

I also like Tennessee to upset Baltimore, 16-13.
