wildcard weekend picks (11-13 ytd)

poor year for me at 11-13 ytd. hope to get positive during the playoffs and superbowl.

giants/packers under 44.5
1. giants defense is arguably the best d in the nfl. they are on fire right now. i don't think rodgers will have time to dance around all day and find open receivers like he has been doing.
2. we all know the giants offensive woes this year. the giants running game as picked up nicely the past few weeks. paul perkins has taken over as the main back. giants semi effectively running the ball also runs the clock. i see this as a 20-17 type of game either way. i will probably also end up playing the giants but havent put it in yet.
3. packers defense has been solid. i think they feed off the offenses success. kind of a front running defense.

dolphins +10

1. the nfl like any sport is a game of matchups. dolphins already handily beat these guys during the regular season rather easily so i don't see how they can be getting 10 points just because its matt moore and not tannehill and now its in pittsburgh.
2. steelers and packers seem to be the teams the media is pumping as the teams no one wants to play in the playoffs. its a little exaggerated in my opinion. when did the steelers dominate anyone even when they had all their players playing together? they may win this game but not in dominating fashion

giants +4.5
1. giants d is arguably the best in the league, defense trumps offense in the playoffs.
2. throwing out what happened in week 5 when they met the 1st time. that was a lifetime ago. giants d was not that good at that time and still held rodgers to 23 points. the giants offense was putrid. you may argue that its putrid now, well they have a running game now which they didn't during the 1st matchup. that will open up some more passing opportunities and packers cb situation is laughable.

i'm passing on the texans and lions even though i lean with both of them. might look for some in-game opportunities.

Un 7 -125 1q raiders/Texans
1. See both of these teams playing real close to the best and was thinking about the un for the entire game but one of these qbs could implode and push it over so I'm just going to take the 1st q

Vest not best
