Indy is the only wildcard team to advance and not cover vs the opening line. They opened at -2- last week. This translates to me as playing below expectations, even w an exciting one point win. This increases the chances of them playing above expectations this week. On the other side the patriots won and went over twice back to back the last two games before entering the playoffsscoring 41 v Baltimore and 34 v Blo. This is almost the same position Cinn was in last week. when a team covers, goes over, and scores top heavy amount of points ( defined as 30 or more) two weeks in a row, they become a bet against and or under look the third week. Great offensive dynasty's in the past might add a third, fourth or in some rare cases a fifth week but these instances are the exception. It means to me that NE is ripe to not cover vs a team that advanced without covering last week. I know who I'm playing every time in this case. Also the Lem Banker method of forecasting the final score shows Indy winning 17-10. Getting 7-. The same method show Denver and sd around28-27. Denver has also covered its last two before playoffs scoring in the thirtys both times. San Diego s defense has been very underrated . Playing s chargers plus points.
