playoffs week 2

[toastblows]

GB is going to win hopefully. 8 pts....thats not a clincher for me though.

Im going to take Jax over NE because they are the only afc team i think can beat NE. However with 12 pts to work with, i think they can cover that


(looking forward to being totally wrong of course )

I'm going with a two team parley.
Giants (8.5) and Jax(12.5) plus the teaser points.

[toastblows]

I wish you luck. Eli is smoke and mirrors. Even though i had them as my pick last week, i had no confidence in him personally. Although this Dallas team is on a slide with TO hurt, so at 8.5 you might cover.....again, best of luck.

[shadroch]

Giants just scored 58 points in back to back games against the two top defenses in the NFL.
Giants have won 8 road games in a row.
Wonder what they could accomplish if they had a QB?

Its hard to believe NY and Dallas have never met in the playoffs,this should be a whole lot of fun.They've already had two tough games with each other this year. Hopefully the third time is a charm.

I will never, ever bet against the Patriots in a playoff game, as long as they have Tom Brady. Never.

I'm not betting against the Patriots,I'm betting against the spread.Patriots have been downright terrible against the spread the last part of the season. They failed to cover against the Eagles,Baltimore,Jets,Dolphins and Giants in the last six games. Only team they covered against was the Steelers.

And when did those games occur? Regular season. Tom Brady is the best quarterback in the playoffs ever, and it's not really close. He always wins games, and we've never seen him with a good receiving corps. In fact, I'd probably recommend the moneyline on the pats because of it.

Im leaning with shadroch on jax with 12.5. But i dont think they will win the game. However, if its between them, indy, or sd trying to knock out NE, ill take jax as my front runner.

Go GB!

p.s. I think if you put payton manning in a NYG uniform, you have a super bowl team. Eli, not so much

[shadroch]

Peyton is obviously better than Eli. Certainly is now,most likely will be always. But Peyton took longer to get his first playoff win.Eli seems to save his best games for Dallas. Lets hope that continues another game.

I'm usually hesitant to take a team with the spread that I don't think has a real chance of winning, except maybe in college football. The line is a little generous, though.
