Sunday
AFC Championship
30* JAX/NE Under 46
I think JAX tries to run the ball and play keep away from Brady and Co........I know that Belichick and the Pats will do their best to take away their run game but regardless JAX will continue to run the ball and I expect more runs from Bortles which will keep drives alive. Both teams are stingy in the red zone so I expect quite a few FG's instead of TD's. If you made me pick a side at this point, I would take the Pats and buy down to -7 because I think there has just been way to much talk about Brady and his hand. I initially leaned JAX but I was hoping to get +10 but I believe all the value on that side is gone. Again, I think this is a low scoring game and the only way I see this going over is if there are defensive or special team TD's......
From Earlier in week
NFC Championship
50* MINN -3 -105
50* MINN ML -155
In this game, I think everyone is forgetting that the Vikings led the Saints for about 57 of the 60 minutes that were played last week. Everyone has been saying all week, "MINN just won an emotional game and there is no way they will be able to get over that" I call BS on that because I am sure in their minds they feel they should have won the game with a 17-0 lead but they got complacent and decided to sit on it which allowed for NO to get back in the game and eventually take a lead for a few minutes. That almost cost them the game but I don't think the MINN miracle will have any outcome on this one and for that matter how about the Eagles with a GL stand against ATL........wouldn't that be an emotional win as well??? The loss of Sendejo at Safety was huge and that's when the Saints made there run in the game but he is expected back today which will be a big lift for the Vikings plus his replacement got more reps this week which will help him if Sendejo gets knocked out again. By the way, how and the hell did they pick up the flag when Thomas hit him??? It was either a personal foul or offensive PI (pick play) but one or the other should have been called. The head official Steratore has been involved in some bad calls this year and he will be the Head man at the Super Bowl so bettors beware.....Anyway, I am going with the better team and I look for Keenam to do what he has done all year which is make enough plays with his arm and his legs for the Vikings to get the Win......I believe Foles will make a big mistake in this one and hopefully make for an easy score by MINN.........Vikings by 10 plus
