***Official NFL Playoffs Betting***

Recommended Posts

Who do you like? I love to bet NFL playoffs....usually. I always feel like I have a good handle on who will win each game, but the AFC teams are all ??? to me.

 

Is it a good idea to just pick all the teams I believe will win the games and not pay attention to the spreads?

 

I have taken the 2nd half of the year off, and was waiting for the playoffs. So lets all make some money these next couple weeks and make good picks. Who ya like.

 

Leaning:

 

Cincy -3

Philly +4

Ravens +3.5

How can you not like the Packers getting 1.5 points with Cromartie and Boldin being out most likely? I have no idea where that line is coming from.

I am a Packers fan who tries not to bet on Packers games.

GB is getting points? Wow, that is amazing. Something is up, those boys know their numbers and are usually pretty close on their lines. Still amazing, they must know something.

Why? Arizona is at home. I actually think that this line is way too low. Home teams of equal caliber, the line is usually 3 to 4 points. I love Ariizona and I think that they win easily. You are talking about the NFC Champs at home, with a powerful offense who can also get to the QB and cover.

 

I think in recent years with all the road teams winning, these lines have gotten out of whack. It will be interesting to see what the lines will be for Divisional weekend. I am personally leaning towards a 1 vs 2 matchup in both conferences.

 

Arizona wins 38-24.

Would not touch this game. Playoff atmosphere changes everything. I could easily see the Packers or the Cardinals winning big. Flip a coin is pretty much where Vegas has it.

Haven't yet decided on the game, but Cromartie practiced yesterday and there seems to be little question that he'll play at full speed. Boldin hasn't been on the field yet, which is a concern, but he's tough as nails. If there's any way, he'll be on the field.

I already bet on the Bengals -3 and the Packers at +1. BTW, people are all over the Packers, because that spread is now a pick.

Who are these "boys" you speak of. I thought the betters determine the current lines? If one team is getting all the action, the line is moved to balance it out. Maybe I am out of touch...

My analysis of Saturday games - assume 10 units to bet:

 

Cinc -2.5 7 units

Dallas -3.5 3 units

 

If you want to bet only one of them, take Cinc. Still working on Sunday games, but I believe Cinc. will be stronger play than either on Sunday also.

Actually, the 10 pt tease is like a regular bet, but all 3 teams have to cover - seems easy, but trust me, it's not

Yeah, thats a great idea if you're fine with picking 40% winners. Smart betters (who bet alot) bet the underdog +the spread more often than not because the average better bets favorites... causing the better money and line value to be on the under dogs.

 

I've got:

 

NYJ +2.5

PHI +4

BAL +3

GB even

$110 on each

 

 

I like the Jets to win by 4, Phily to win or lose by 3 or less, Baltimore to Win or lose by 3 or less & GB to win by 8. These games are really toss-ups, so the smart money is on taking the points. I actually think NYJ & GB should win convincingly though, and PHI/DAL & NE/BAL are truely 50/50.

Didn't post as I was out. But had Dallas -4 for 2 units. Following Ace Ace over at therx.

 

He has the Packers tomorrow at +1.5 and I can only get them at -2, not sure if I will bet them.

Don't have a side in the Pats game. My book is up to Pats -4. If I had to choose a side I would go Balt getting those points. No Welker will hurt Brady. Ravens have a better overall team if they don't let Moss beat them deep multiple times.

 

I would bet Packers, but don't like to bet Packers games, so I won't.

 

Good luck to everyone.

Really thinking about throwing money on the Ravens +4 here soon. Ed Reed. If Pats refuse to run the ball and now have no Welker, they have no ball control. I like the Ravens run game and defense better.

 

Edit: Holding off on betting this game.

You would call that easy money? Packers took over a quarter to start playing and had the ball in OT to win the game. Congrats on the win, but I wouldn't call it easy money.

Counted it as a win before it started. I did the Cards heavy and did not watch the game as I has some family obligations.

Cards were a lock. It doesn't matter if they win 49-0 or 51-45 in OT, they were going to win that game.

 

I also picked up a nice chunk of change for taking another lock, Beanie Wells over 47.5 rushing yards. That was a lock!

You're obviously a very novice and inexperienced gambler, as only such would call anything, let alone either of those bets a lock.

Went 1-0 the first weekend with Dallas for 2 units.

 

Not liking that much this weekend. Like Bal/Indy over 44. But many unders should hit today as all 4 overs hit last week and the books were killed.

 

What does everyone like this week?

Except if Rodgers hits that wide open pass or either of the two blantant penalties are called at the end of the game...

 

Otherwise.... LOCK!

 

 

HAHAHAHA

Under 8 1/2 punts for the Saints/Cards game looks to be about as safe a bet as they come, but I'm seriously contemplating taking the Cards straight up.

Cards +7

 

Like the under too the over 57/58 has to be mainly from last week. This may be the highest point total all season for the NFL, I don't remeber too many near 60. I'm sure lots of people are takng the over we'll see if it jumps at all before the game

 

ETA Saints under 32 (-105)

Cardinals

Colts

Cowboys

Chargers

 

Guaranteed at least 3-1, probably 4-0.

I actually like the Saints -7. :rolleyes:

Well it is worth noting that Warner has lost both of his playoff games played in the Superdome

This is a tough game to pick because both teams have great offenses and opportunistic defenses. I would lean towards Arizona just because I get to take 7 points, but the Saints could very easily blow this game open. I guess that's why they call it gambling, but the smart money is to stay away from this one. Unfortunately, I'll probably pick a side and bet because I'd have no interest in the game otherwise.

I agree with the AFC side of the equation, but see the opposite on the NFC side.
