NFC Divisional Round Discussion Thread

Rams have better coach & QB. Rams a west coach team that primarily plays in favorable conditions. Stafford is mentally conditioned and tough competitor. Good young defense

Eagles have best RB Barkley, good QB and excellent receivers - Can they be a factor? Weather favors Eagles. Superior (?) defense. Home field advantage worth something here.

Eagles 24-19
This sounds realistic. 1 other thing I would add. Team chemistry is with the Rams. I’m not seeing that with Philly.
 
I hope you are correct. I took the TT Over at 33.5. I am doing that instead of a Lions wager.

I also want to bet Daniels Over rushing but I am sure the number will be ridiculous and I will not do it

Hope Redskins score a quick TD first and then I will consider Lions Live
I can’t remember a team total being this high. Washington would need to help with quick drives and turnovers I would think.
 
Washington definitely played ball control last weekend. I’m a bit worried about failed 4th down conversions in the red zone with long drives leading to no points.
 
Favorites of over a TD (-7.5 or more) have won 18 consecutive playoff games outright dating back to the 2019-20 playoffs – the last loss came with the Ravens against the Titans. That 18-game streak is the longest streak at any point in the Super Bowl era.

This week KC -8, DET -9
 
Detroit -

Favorites in night games are 48-13 SU (79%) this season, including 6-0 SU from this same Lions team.

Under Dan Campbell, the Lions are 10-0 SU as favorites in primetime, winning by over 10 PPG, and in games starting at 4p ET or later, they are 15-1 SU under Campbell, with their one loss coming to the Bills this season.

Over the last three seasons, the Lions are 39-14-1 (74%) against the first-half spread, the best mark in the NFL, including 19-6 1H ATS against opponents over .500 SU.
 
Philadelphia -

In franchise history, the Eagles have never lost at home in the Divisional Round. They are 6-0 SU, covering the spread in 5 of those games.

Jalen Hurts has played three home games in the playoffs and he is 3-0 SU and ATS, covering the spread by 16.8 PPG with Philly’s defense allowing 24 total pts in the three games. The only other QB 3-0 ATS or better at home since 2003 is Kurt Warner, all with the Cardinals.

With a cover against the Rams, Hurts would be the 2nd-most profitable QB ATS at home in the playoffs since 2003 behind just Patrick Mahomes.

The one issue with Washington is they like to kinda slowly move it up field for a bit, then take shots. At least it seems that way to me.

They can be explosive but a few games I saw the clock was just running and running.

Tampa game flew by. That was a very lite possession game overall. Full possessions.

Good numbers.

I would have thought those Warner stats were with STL although 2009 playoff run was special.

I agree for most part and it is a gamble. I'm just thinkjing about what I saw week 14 (?) forward. We shall see if my theory holds. I get hunches
 
KC / Detroit / Philly - ML

- Houston and 13 degree weather ? Lulz.
- Lions are on a mission.
- A little pause with Philly given Stafford but he's been abysmal in rain / snow games. It's going to be 30 and snowing.

You always have the outlying concern of Goff turning an ankle in the 1Q or something and that flips the dynamic obviously. I'll take my chances there.

If you factor in a QB getting hurt you wouldn't bet any of these games.
 
I know in the past when my kid lived over there we would go to I believe Noto's ?
And take a shuttle bus they offered for Red wings games

**Nemo's offers a shuttle but says just for Tigers games

Shuttles are still a thing but not as widespread as say 10 years ago.

Shillelagh still does theirs although no sneaking booze from the bar anymore.
 
I do. If KC gets up by 14–17, may be worth a small hedge as you know Andy does not care about the spread one bit.
Yes. I am liking them as well but could easily see a back door. Will probably just parlay KC moneyline with Detroit and something in ufc.
 
B Robinson rushing under should be good again. He went 10-16 last week and Ekeler has looked like the better RB since his return. Ekeler and Robinson about equal carries last week, but Ekeler way more effective and could see Washington having to play catch up here, which favors Ekeler as a receiver.

Back door definitely open. I think if they feel they have the game in control you will see vanilla calls as well as to not show any new packages to Balt/Buff.
 
How cold lol
Hehe, I'll be honest...

Thanksgiving Day leaving after that game.. temp was high twenties and wind was whipping from the West.

That absolutely sucked! I ran into the casino, hit the bathroom and just ran my hands under hot water.

My guy was down at Vikings game and said the same scenario leaving with a westerly wind.

Either way, even if parking at a pay lot you're walking for a bit after.
 
Taking longest FG Under 49.5, B Robinson Over 34.5 rushing and J Daniel’s Over 33.5 pass attempts
 
I was getting ready to unload on Gibbs props too. I still think he's worth looking into but not as big as original when the starting oline is not fully intact.

leans

rush & rec o99.5/TD -105

longest rush o18.5 (freaking juiced-136 on FD/ -155 on betrivers)

o99.5+185 what

Even with Monty back- Knuckles makes me not want to take a stab at Gibbs 2tds but I still think Gibbs gets plenty of touches.....


Amon-Ra getting a look as well

rec yds o74.5 & TD-125
Gibbs CRUSHED
 
I’m trying to understand the steam on the over in the Philly game today. It has gone from 42 to 43.5. Is it simply a byproduct of the track meet last night? I’m leaning towards making a bet on the under fwiw.

To me it comes down to whether you can make a case to bet on either defense. I can not.
