AF89 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (Who I think wins) Game-1 Houston Game-2 Seahawks Game-3 Pittsburgh Game-4 Packers (Who I'm rooting for) Game 1-I don't really care but I'll put couple bucks on Houston or something Game-2 Seahawks. They should be a much easier match up than NYG/GB and NYG/GB going to Dallas is our best shot at hosting the NFC title game Game-3 Pittsburgh all the way, the AFC bracket is a big enough joke as it is. Game-4 I think GB gives us the better shot of getting a second home game but I also see them as a our biggest threat so I'm gonna lean Giants for now.

JD dirtybird21 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 OP taking all home teams?? Im thinking Oakland, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Green Bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalriseup Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I say oakland, pittsburgh, seattle, new york. I mainly picked new York because I'd prefer we play them than green bay, and I also think new York can drop the cowboys and let us have the nfccg in the dome.

Im thinking Oakland, Pittsburgh, Seattle, and Green Bay Yeah with the exception of Oakland/Houston I think the home team is head and shoulders above the competition in 3 of the 4 games. But I have trouble seeing a middle round drafted rookie going against a fairly solid Houston D in his first start, and he's unlikely to get a ton of support from his defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaptain Krazy Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Road teams won all four last year, iirc. So either it's due for all the home teams to sweep and balance that out, or road teams get some Ws this weekend. i think NYG has the best shot at a road W, but otherwise think the home team is the better team right now. OAK won at HOU 27-20 earlier, but Carr threw 3 TDs and for 300 yards, while OAK got stuffed on the ground. i don't expect Cook to be able to carry the offense the way Carr had to. Osweiler threw for 240 and a TD in that same game, and i think he can get closer to that than Cook will to Carr's numbers. 17-9 HOU DET is winless vs playoff teams this year, lost their last three games, and had a losing record on the road this season. Seattle is much bettter at home and i think they'll win by more than one score. Wouldn't surprise me to see a bunch of pundits get on the Seahawks bandwagon afterward and start talking them up as a great upset pick over ATL. 27-16 SEA MIA doubled up PIT earlier this season, Since then, they lost their starting QB and the Steelers D has tightened up. Wouldn't shock me to see a 30-14 score in favor of PIT this time. 30-14 PIT That leaves the battle of the two teams that are given more of a chance of winning the SB as a lower seed than any others. Whichever team wins this game, their fans are going to truly believe they are a team of destiny. Funny enough, i think Dallas will beat either one in the Divisional Round. As for this weekend, Eli throws a late pick and Rodgers brings the Pack from behind at home. 27-24 GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuinnTorris Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) Houston 23 Oakland 16 - Snoozer. Bad QB play on both sides, Houstons D wins the game. Seattle 27 Detroit 24 - Detroit will probably actually jump out to a lead and Seattle will struggle but come back in the end. Time for a rematch. Pittsburgh 31 Miami 18 - I have a gut feeling Miami can actually win this game considering Jay Ajayi is pretty nice and Matt Moore is playing better than Tannehill. But I can't pick against Big Ben and those weapons at home. New York 22 Green Bay 17 - Will be a tight game but New York's defense will rattle Rodgers and his receivers. They match up very well. GB's inability to run will hurt them. Plus GB literally has nobodies playing cornerback. OBJ will have a huge game and score in the final quarter to give NY the lead for good.

AF89 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 This is my all day Saturday gambling slate starting with the FCS championship at noon to kinda boost up the numbers (and it should be an easy pick) My current Parlay +223 James Madison (Straight up) -340 Houston (-4) -110 Seattle (Straight Up) -360 $20 for $44.57 (64.57) tho you could boost that to like $55 if you throw in the heavily favored Steelers Sunday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AF89 Posted January 7, 2017 Author Share Posted January 7, 2017 I will say tho that Seattle has played just poor enough lately, there is an upset chance in this one. 8 point spread feels a little high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmite Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Steelers, Oakland, GB, and Seahawks for me. Houston is pretty bad, I think Oakland can overcome them somehow. GB is a bad matchup for NY, they'll spread them out and shred them. Seahawks sneak by with help of their homefield advantage, their defense will make some plays. Not putting any money on any of it, not much confidence in these selections, but I'd probably roll with packers and Lions with points if forced to.

octoslash Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Yeah, I can't pick against any of the home teams, due to the calamity that hit the Raiders a couple weeks ago. HOU 20 OAK 17 This will actually be a fun, competitive game to watch, but sloppy on offense; lots of intrigue due to Connor Cook's first NFL start. Oakland is doomed, but Del Rio will get a good effort from them today. SEA 27 DET 14 We'll see the real Lions today. They haven't won a road playoff since 1957. PITT 30 MIA 13 The Dolphins put it together this year after a bad start. Tomorrow it ends ugly. GB 24 NYG 23 This will be an instant classic, with Good Eli showing up, the Giants D keeping them close, and Erin Twinkletoes doing his usual thing at the end. The b.asterd.

My buddy and I were talking yesterday, (he's a big football fan with no favorite team), he thinks the winner of the packers/Giants game will go to the super bowl because the winner will get a HUGE win out of it and then go upset the #1 seed in Dallas, and would then be the hottest team in the playoffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjerry Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Seattle, Pitt, and NY Honestly don't want to pick the other game, expect it to be awful, less two teams trying to win, and more one team managing not to lose, "winner" is a guaranteed win to whoever they play next.

slamee101 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Houston-This was tough. I think if Carr is healthy we all take Oakland. Even McGloin I'd take Oakland. Connor Cook on the road in his first start though...Gotta go with Houston. Seattle-This game is gonna be much tougher than most expect IMHO. I think Detroit gives them a game but I think Seattle pulls away late. Pittsburgh-I think this will probably be a pretty competitive game as well. Back and forth with whether I think Miami can pull off the upset on the road but even with Ben not looking great lately I think their offense makes enough plays. New York-I think the Giants have a good enough defense to slow the Pack down a little bit and the Packers secondary being beat up will be enough to give Odell or Shepard that one big play that helps them squeak out yet another playoff win in Lambeau. This is easy when I'm not talking about MY team! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychic Gibbon Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Raiders, since I cannot shake the feeling the Osweiler will find a way to lose that game. Seahawks, since even though they're not the same team as they were over the past few years the Lions do not have enough on either side of the ball to really compete. Steelers, since this one just seems straightforward. Packers, since as good as the Giants defense is their offense is that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just liked the Giants more than the Packers over history Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
