Agree ID, so true Rail.
BMs probably made out like bandits this week in general, but Wiseguys and Pros, if follow their general playbook and "played it blind" this past two weeks, would be 6-2 sides minimum, using a playbook that has produced consistently for ages.
Wild Card Weekend(All Dogs, Especially when Intra-Div "Live Dog Taking Plus" ) :
St.L.+ over Sea.. Intra-Div savvy Rams 2-0 reg season getting generous number vs twenty-year playoff winless drought team..Rams played Jets head-up yet still "let in"/Falcons played scrubs and totally "let in" Seahawks and it took shoutout.
NYJ+ over SD..Double-Digit win team getting TD..Jets a previous playoff year team getting points off newbie(4 to 10 win team in a year)..Herm over Schottenheimer..bad weather team taking pts in uncharacteristic bad west coast weather..7-1 public ratio on chalk.
Minny+ over GB..Intra-Div Minn 0-2(lost both by 3) getting 5 pts..Vikes back to early nineties form vs GB(Dennis Green era) behind Culpepper(had 8 TDs vs 1 Int ratio despite 0-2 mark this yr)..Sherman(1-3) last three playoff games with lone win a Seahawk gift-wrap job.
Indy- over Den..lone chalk cover of WC-Week..was a "rematch" of "laydown"..would Indy let Denver in if not licking chops to do same as did in '03's season finale and WC opener?..highest line of week..BMs offering Shanahan plus DDs, begging public to take Broncos.
WC Week Results:3-1 Dogs
Wiseguy Rule-Of-Thumb Playbook Results:3-1
Wiseguys and Sharps should've gone 4-0, 3-1, or 3-0 with a pass to Indy-Den for sides, and if I could look over Billy Baxter's shoulder at his sheet, I would bet it graded one of the three options above.
Divisonal Round:
NYJ+ vs Pitt..Generous number in battle of two 10-plus winners in AFC, that played tough game a month ago until late Steeler salt-away..Steelers history under Cowher of playing tight as chalk last ten years..Heavyweight vs. Heavyweight
Atl- over St.L..Laying TD by rested for month Falcs over Ram that went OT @ home vs Jets(and still took a "LET 'EM IN")=Wk 16 Rule(If have to win in in last reg season week it was your playoff win)=lose soon!, yet was Intra-Div dog for WCG, then pushed to goalline at Seattle=tired..9-8 teams have to die violent deaths.
Philly- over Minny..Lone dominant NFCer that won by 14 avg before TO injury..rested for a month..Minny=Wk 16 Rule=take only as/if Intra-Div Dog in WC, then copper/fade..Reid over Tice..must die same violent death as above.
NE- over Indy..Heavyweight vs Heavyweight..but heavy action for Dog..big rest for best record/Best team..bad weather & iced-earth grass team vs fast-track indoor squad(indoor vs. outdoor history also applicable here)..great D vs great O rule..Brady's vs Manning's playoff marks..HC edge.
Div-Rnd Results:3-1 Favs
Wiseguy Rule-Of-Thumb Playbook Results:3-1
If only I was a fly over the shoulder of BW, BB, or Cowboy, I'd possibly see some 2-2's or 3-1's to sides, but shouldn't see any one-or-O-fers?
Two Week Wiseguy Rule Of Thumb Playbook Sides Totals:6-2
With totals being a total crapshoot, yet both NYJ games, and Indy-NE in snow weather, having Wiseguy "Under" Modus Operandi written on all three.
