boston, ma
apparently only 3 times in 23 or so years, all four home teams have won

SF is 0 for 3 in game where temps are 26 or less (last in 2010ish?)

SF is on a 6 game winning streak

cinci has not lost a home game, however, marvin lewis has not won a playoff game

apparently X amount of times (anyone know this one?), the team with fewer wins, comes out on top (read: gb v sf) <also, records?="" of="" off="" base="" perhaps="" to="" seeding="" playoff="" re-evaluating="" into="" looking="" NFL="">

last 3 years, whomever eagles opened season in playing home opener vs, went on to win the SB (this year, SD)

its gonna be cold at these games

weather thought to hurt chances of saints win, on top of them be notoriously bad road team (unless they're playing a bears team I have in survivor pool)

NO rb Pierre Thomas is out

SF cb Carlos Rogers 'sounds' doubtful (hamstring)


fwiw, I am left thinking these teams win this weekend

GB over SF

i've been a kaepernick fan all year, having drafted him for my fantasy squad, -which then leaves me inextricably following how well they do all year -- and clearly he hasn't made the strides this year, was expecting him to, leaving over from last. for all the knocks that GB gets about their defense- and even I think it to be less than they're usual fortuitous [read get turnovers when need to, and points from a rod to win] and knowing gore can run, feel like GB wins turnover battle - and thusly game here -- see tramond Williams --better cb than has been playing lately)

SD over CIN

huge fan of AJ Green, and Giovanni Bernard --but equally dread Andy Dalton. Rivers is playing good (for Rivers) and SD may have gotten help from refs or not lw, but believe rivers with his WR corps (allen, v brown, woodhead, gates) makes it tough on a not-so-great secondary that looked remedial at times, tackling especially, against indy, last time I saw them (on tv). I like cinci's D coordinator (even if I cant remember his name) but feel like Weddle on sd def side might be too smart for Dalton to overcome (bad decision making?) even though I do indeed like the entirety of cin's rec corps (green, Hawkins, sanu, jones, Gresham, Bernard, Eifert)

NO over PHI

Foles is really good - period. Hes doing exactly what a team with those players on it, should. McCoy is special, no doubt. Outside of Cary Williams, I don't much like PHI's defense. Pierre Thomas I think is a bigger part of offense than maybe they like to let on --even with Ingram taking a baby step towards semblance of what they thought would get out of him. Ryan's defense plays especially stingy and Brees plays solid brees like for W

IND over KC

This is more of a coin flip (which prolly means biggest win). I love KC's secondary -smith and flowers (esp Flowers) though think that IND with LUCK get it done here at home.

weirdly, INDY has won all their big games (that I remember anyways) -sf, den, kc --whereas kc has lost all theirs den x2, kc ---while I'd have to say am proponent of it being hard to beat a good team twice in one year (even though den did do to kc) im not soooo sold on ind doing that here --with wildcard being kc's sp teams/ ind ty Hilton, donald brown. all said and done, give the nod to IND at home (probably the biggest home field adv this weekend, just beating out gb's cold)

gl all</also,>

Trends are for people who look at the roulette board and see black has hit 6 times in a row......why not put it all on black as it is on a roll.......clowns

Absolutely 1000000% INCORRECT. Trends DO play a huge factor in handicapping. The fact you think trends are for clowns shows you should stick to authoring in fiction. Leave the facts and trends for us handicappers.
