Wild Card Weekend Picks
We came across this article on the National Football Post highlighting eight late covers from NFL games this year.
Of the eight games listed, we had three of them this year in the 2010 Cheddar Bay Invitational at Cleveland Frowns, which in some way helps explain why we are only a half-point out of first place heading into the playoffs.
The games we hit on from the list were:
- Baltimore vs. Carolina in Week 11
- The Jets vs. Minnesota in Week 5
- and Baltimore vs. Houston in Week 14
The Browns made the list as well for their Week 5 game against Atlanta.
Interesting that all three covers came on defensive touchdowns.
That leads us to this week’s picks for the Wild Card games. We like:
New Orleans (-10) vs. Seattle, although the weather forecast for Seattle makes us a bit nervous.
Indianapolis (-2.5) vs. the Jets. No weather concerns as the game is indoors, but Rex Ryan’s Churchill-like qualities scare us in a big game.
Green Bay (+2.5) vs. Philly
Money pick: Baltimore (-3) vs. Kansas City
