[145] MINNESOTA
[146] NEW ORLEANS -8I'm sharing the general sentiment here that Saints will have an easy game so i'm picking them to win and cover the spread. I don't trust Cousins one bit, Dalvin Cook is coming off an injured shoulder. I'm sure Saints players and their fans remember what happened two years ago and will be highly motivated to make a statement today and demolish MIN.
[147] SEATTLE[148] PHILADELPHIA +1
Eagles are lucky to be in the playoffs imo, getting to play Giants twice and Redskins in their final 4 games, which they barely won with 4th q heroics.
Way too many injuries on both sides of the ball, the homecourt advantage won't be enough to upset Seattle (7-1 away record). That's why i'm taking Seahawks to win and cover. The only chance Eagles have is if SEA comes flat to start the game just like they did last week v 49ers.
I haven't made any bets yet, likely halftime picks again. I took
HOU to score over 13.5 @2.07 as i expected Bills to crumble in the second half. Generally, i'm not a fan of teams running trick plays on their opening drives followed by crazy sideline celebrations. It's just bad luck.
Who watched Lions v Packers last week? Lions ran almost the exact same trick play, Amendola to Blough for a touchdown. Lions had a 14 point lead at the half and lost by 3 pts. Sounds familiar, isn't it?
