3 Unit Play. #307. Take San Diego Chargers +6.5 over Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, January 11th @ 4:45pm est). I understand that the Chargers should not be here given the season that they have had in a weak division. I have always felt that a "Division Winner" should not be given the right to enter just because they won their particular division and in particular, host a playoff game over a team that has the better record. After all, the Arizona Cardinals should not be in the playoffs nor should they have hosted the first round of the playoffs as a home game against the the 11 win Atlanta Falcons. That's a joke. Having said that, the Chargers should not have been hosting a game against the Chargers either. But, what's done is done. This is not to take away from the fact that the Chargers have made a big run and a strong push the last few weeks. After all, they kept believing. Remember, the Chargers are quite capable of defeating the Steelers outright. Heck, they just defeated the Indianapolis Colts who were one of the hottest teams in the league coming into that game at Q-Com. Let's not forget, this is the same San Diego Chargers team that lost 10-11 to the Steelers on the road earlier this year and easily covered as the road chalk. If they can cover the road chalk there as 4.5 dogs, why could they not cover herre as 6.5 chalk? This team plays with a chip on its shoulder. This team wants to be here and in particular, they are thankful to be here given the year they had. They have not played a bad game in quite some time. After all, these Chargers once again, lost 10-11 to the Steelers on the road and frankly, there were some questionable calls that game and this team could have won outright. They were up 7-0 at the end of the first and went into half time up 7-5. Take away the safety that Rivers had and the final outcome of that game could have been very different. Pittsburgh remember lost to the Colts at home 20-24 as this team can be defeated and defeated at home. The Chargers know they played a great game against Pitt last time around and are quite capable of defeating this team. I look for the Chargers in Rivers, LT and Norv Turner to put it all together and continuing this improbable run and frankly, I would not be surprised if the Chargers won outright. After all, if the Giants can go on the road last year as 7 point dogs to Tampa Bay and win Outright, as 7 point dogs to Dallas and win Outright and 7 point dogs to Green Bay in the NFC Championship and win outright - is that impossible to think that the San Diego Chargers who lost by 1 point last time to the Steelers and who were leading at the half 7-5 and were a safety away from winning last time can't defeat the Steelers in Pittsburgh? The Chargers have won their last 5 straight, have covered their last 3 straight and have covered their last four straight playoff games. The "Boltz" get it done for us on Sunday.
2 Unit Play. #305. Take Philadelphia Eagles +4.5 over NY Giants (Sunday, January 11th @ 1pm est.) I believe in the Eagles. Why not? This team is very similar to the NY Giants of 2007-2008? Remember that team? That was the wild card team that went on the road last year as 7 point dogs to Tampa Bay and win Outright, as 7 point dogs to Dallas and win Outright and 7 point dogs to Green Bay in the NFC Championship and win outright. Why is it so hard to believe a Philadelphia team, a veteran Philadelphia team at that, who already defeated the Giants on the road Outright this year in a must win game can't defeat a Giants team that enter the playoffs playing questionable football? I actually think this game is a toss-up. Look, the Eagles have absolutely nothing to lose. They are thankful just to be in the playoffs, nevertheless, a game away from the NFC Championship. This is a magical year for this team. After all the heat that McNabb and company took this year, this team finds itself in a game they can certainly win outright. The Giants are simply not the same without Plaxico and it has showed. Yes, the Giants defeated the Panthers in an exciting Sunday Night Football game in a great comeback. I remember that as I was on the Giants and were rooting for them to score the touchdown in overtime rather than kick the field goal. But, having said that, the Giants simply have not been blowing anyone out of late. In all honesty, one can argue, that despite the Giants were 2-2 ATS coming into the playoffs, they should be 4-0 ATS. After all, the Giants should not have been true 7 point dogs on the road to the Vikings and lost outright and really should not have covered against the Panthers who should have won that game outright. Prior to that the Giants lost outright to the Eagles and lost on the road convincingly to Dallas 8-20 that even the Ravens were able to accomplish with relative ease. The Giants just come into the playoffs stumbling and I look for the hot Eagles who have won 5 of 6 SU and covered 5 of 6 to beat the Giants outright here or at worse lose by a field goal. Don't over think this, we have the team that has the angel that the Giants had on their shoulder the previous year and I firmly believe this could be a magical year for the Eagles as only the Panthers could stand in their way. The Eagles are more dynamic over the last month than the Giants, the Giants have not been the same with the exiting of Plaixco and have a defense that is second to no one when it comes to pressuring the quarterback which Tony Romo can tell you all about. The Eagles are 10-1 ATS as road underdogs and 4-0 ATS in their last four road playoff games
