SAN FRANCISCO +4 over New Orleans SportsInteraction
We realize how easy it is to like the Saints here. Why wouldn’t you? They are an offensive machine, they're hot and they’ve been down this road in recent times. At the all important quarterback position, New Orleans’ Drew Brees lays over San Francisco’s Alex Smith. However, life in the NFL is rarely that simple. There are issues on the Saints side that cannot be conveniently overlooked, namely on defence. The Saints struggled against the run early in the season, surrendering more than 100 yards eight times through 10 games. That was prior to New Orleans going into their high-octane scoring when teams hardly could run the ball in an attempt to play catch up. The Niners will not abandon their ground game. It’s their bread and butter and it has proven effective. Quietly, San Francisco finished 11th in scoring, ahead of teams like the Ravens and Cowboys. If need be, the 49ers can do some damage through the air. Smith was proficient with a league-low five interceptions and having seen Calvin Johnson’s 211 yards receiving last week, the 49ers could have success throwing to WR Michael Crabtree. The 49ers have a huge edge defensively, having surrendered just 229 points on the season compared to the Saints’ 339. This marks only the second time since 1982 that the road team has been favored in the Divisional round of the NFL playoffs. That’s because the home team has usually earned the right to host and therefore should not be in the underdog’s role. While the Saints might be the sexy pick, the Niners are the prudent play and that’s the side we’ll endorse. Play San Francisco +4 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).

NEW ENGLAND -13½ over Denver Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
Those Broncos. What a cheeky group they are. Win six. Drop three. Back their way into the playoffs. Upset the Steelers. So now what? Travel to Foxboro and knock of the top seeded Patriots? News flash; it ain’t happenin’. While the Tim Tebow hysteria has been fun for most, it’s a joke to others. Granted, the youngster had an impressive game last week but don’t expect that lightning in a bottle to strike again here. The Patriots are not the imposters that the Steelers turned out to be. They have an elite quarterback and an elite coach. They’ve had the luxury of experiencing the Tebow phenomenon first hand, resulting in a 41-23 victory that took place in Denver. A quick review of that one had New England arriving in Denver to face a streaking Broncos bunch, the latter riding a six-game winning streak. The Pats fell behind 16-7 until Belichick and Co. saw what they were dealing with and then outscored Denver 34-7 the rest of the way. Not much will change from then to now. Not only did that one set off a three-game losing streak for the Broncos, it quickly dispelled Denver’s defensive status. While some are quick to point out New England’s defensive deficiencies, the Broncos allowed 390 points this season compared to the Patriots’ 342. Offensively, the Broncos scored just 309 points on the year while the Pats racked up 513. With two weeks to prepare and the motivation from having lost this match over the past two seasons, the Patriots roll it up against this inferior guest. Play: New England -13½ (Risking 2.08 units to win 2).

SATURDAY

Saints -3½ at 49ers (47½): These teams last met early in the 2010 season when the Saints, favored by 5, won by just a field goal, 25-22, at San Francisco. The 49ers’ offensive strength is its running game, led by RB Frank Gore. Under first year coach Jim Harbaugh, QB Alex Smith displayed strong growth in the position and the Niners, though still operating with a run first mentality, did become more of a passing threat as the season progressed.

The 49ers also have outstanding special teams. Only Pittsburgh allowed fewer points than the 49ers and San Francisco ranked first both in fewest turnovers committed (10) and most turnovers forced (38, tied with Green Bay). The short line shows that the lines makers have great respect for San Francisco despite the Saints’ overwhelming edge in recent playoff experience.

The Saints have now covered nine straight games and are 13-4 ATS for the season. At the same time the Niners have also rewarded backers this season to the tune of 11-4-1 ATS. That combined ATS record of 24-8-1 is remarkable and thus it’s hard to make a case against either of these teams. This is only the fifth instance of a home underdog in the Divisional round of the playoffs but the last such occurrence was way back in 1997.

Sean Payton has established himself as one of the top coaches in the league and is now 67-36 in 6 seasons as New Orleans coach, including 5-2 in the post-season. San Francisco’s Harbaugh has made the transition from college football to the NFL as well as any coach ever has, although its been just one season. By lessening the number of possessions and using the strength of their special teams the Niners could make this a game that comes down to the wire. UNDER.

Broncos +14 at Patriots (51½): These teams met in Denver in week 15 when the Patriots overcame an early first half deficit to win handily, 41-23, and deal the Broncos the first of three straight losses to end the regular season. After missing the playoffs in 2008, with an 11-5 record, the Pats lost their first and only postseason in each of the past two seasons. And both games were at home.

Denver was outscored by 81 points in the regular season. A closer look at the stats shows that Denver had the league’s top rushing offense which, of course, was greatly impacted by the legs of Tebow. The Pats were right at the league average defending the run. Their defensive weakness was against the pass, allowing 295 ypg, ranking number 31. But notwithstanding last week, Denver’s offensive weakness is the pass

Having already seen Tebow and having made successful in game adjustments, combined with additional information from Tebow’s former coach add up to enough edges to suggest another one sided win in much more favorable conditions. Favorites of -13 or more in the Divisional round are 8-1 straight up and 5-3-1 AT

SATURDAY

Saints -3½ at 49ers: The Niners might be the surprise team of the season. Their 3-3 record speaks for itself. They won their division going away. In fact, if it was a car race, you might say San Francisco lapped the competition. That is of course, if you can get away with calling their divisional opponents legitimate competition with a straight face.

However, the Niners did win all 13 of those games and along the way pounded the Steelers and the Giants. But other than those two quality teams there were a couple of losses to Arizona and Baltimore, and several wins over teams that don’t so much as stand a chance of beating a playoff bound club.

Harbough has nailed the job responsibilities of head coach in his first year. Alex Smith has now been declared the long term answer at QB and is flourishing under the tutelage of the former QB. But as good as both have been, I can’t see the Niners winning this game or covering the point spread.

The Saints are just too darn explosive. They have more weapons than any team left in the field and no one knows how to deploy them better than Drew Brees. The Saints have nine straight wins and are almost a cinch to score over 40 against a lesser defense than the Niners. I don’t believe they’ll run up 40 here, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see 27 to 35 on the scoreboard.

The 49ers can’t keep up with the constant onslaught and pressure that Brees and company generate. The Saints set an NFL record for yards from scrimmage with a total of 7,474 yards. Meachem, Colston, Graham and Sproles are simply too much, even for the mighty Niners defense. SAINTS.

Broncos +13½ at Patriots: What can you possibly say about Tim Tebow that hasn’t already been said or joked about already. I believe Jesus could care less who wins NFL football games. I think Tebow is on record agreeing with that opinion. But just in case we’re both wrong, I’m not going to bet against this Tebow dude.

I bet on the Broncos last week, but it was more against a banged up Steelers team than it was on TT. So now, will we see Tim "tebowing" after the final gun in Foxborough? Well, I’m not going to pound the money line on this dawg but I do think the number is a little inflated.

The Pats set a franchise record 6,848 yards this season and tied an NFL record of at least 30 points in 12 games this season.

However, the Pats allowed 411 yards a game this season and their pass defense is ranked nearly dead last. Elway hit a home run with the hire of John Fox as head coach. He’s one smart dude.

So between Fox, Tebow and the tough Denver defense, not to mention the heavens above, I think the Broncos will be able to cover this tall number. BRONCOS.

WUNDERDOG
3 - 2 last weekend
Game: New Orleans at San Francisco (Saturday 1/14 4:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total UNDER 47 -110

The New Orleans Saints are playing offensively at a level beyond even what the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers have done this season. Drew Brees has been surreal and the Saints are in uncharted waters having scored 42 or more points in each of their last four games. In those four games Brees has thrown for 17 TD passes to just three INT's. After last week's easy OVER in the New Orleans/Detroit game sailing over the 59 point total, this looks like an easy OVER too, right? Not so fast. The Saints have had an easy schedule this season in terms of the defenses they have faced. Since week five they have not faced a single defense that ranks better than 19th with the exception of the Atlanta Falcons. The problem with that is Atlanta ranks 20th against the pass, allowing Brees to operate. The big offensive numbers in the current New Orleans 9-0 SU + ATS run have come against eight teams that rank 20th or worse out of 32 teams. The only team that ranked respectfully was Tennessee and guess what? The Saints scored 22 in that one. In stark contrast, San Francisco ranks fourth in the league in defensive yards allowed. It is worth noting that they rank in the middle of the league (16th) against the pass. But does that mean Brees will feast? The Niners played to a 13-3 record and often had leads. Opposing teams often had to throw to try to win. As a result, the Niners allowed 104 of their 229 points in the fourth quarter! There was a lot of passing yards there but despite that, San Francisco allowed only 14.3 ppg. So I believe the Niners will have enough defensive success vs. Brees and the Saints to keep this score from getting out of hand. It's also very important to look at the location of this game. The Saints scored 41.6 ppg at home but just 27.3 ppg on the road - a full two-TD difference. And as far as the Niners go, they averaged 38 total points per game and gave up just 10.9 per game at home on the year. This total looks enticingly low because of the Saints offensive prowess in recent games, but now you know the rest of the story. Play UNDER.

[Mr. IWS]

Freddy Wills

The Bottom Line:

49ers +4 (5.5* NFL POD) 49ers +175 (2* play)

The 49ers are about to be tested, but there is a lot about their play at home that I like other than the fact they allow just 10.9 points per game. They are probably the leagues best all around defense, but they'll have their hands full with the Saints who broke an NFL record in 3rd down conversions at 57.08% on the season and over their last 3 have converted 70% of their 3rd down attempts. Guess what all 3 of those games were at home and now they are going on the road where they scored roughly 2 TD's less. The Saints have also played 12 of their 17 games in a dome this year. When they were not in a dome they averaged 25.8 ppg a significant decrease to their dome and carpet stats.

The 49ers are very similar but a lot better than some of the teams the Saints have struggled with on the road including The Titans and Jaguars which I will get to in a second. The 49ers are just so much better than those two teams they have extra time to prepare and that's something that will only benefit this team. This season they had two games one with 10 days and another with 14 days. They won by a combined score of 46-10. The other time they had 8 days as they played a Monday after a Sunday and came up with a 20-3 domination of the Steelers. The 49ers are also the #4 red zone defense allowing just 41.18% TD's, and are #1 in allowed attempts with 2.1. The only opponents in the top 10 in % were the Falcons and Titans who allowed 22 and 26 points when the Saints visited them. Again 49ers are better in this area.

San Fran is also #1 in TO margin while New Orleans is 19th. I think it's going to be the 49ers game to lose and they won't make the costly turnover to do so meanwhile the Saints have faced very bad defenses on the road from a pass defense perspective. The 49ers are in the middle of the pack in yardage but that's because nobody can run on them as they are #1 rush defense in yards allowed and yards per carry. The Saints rely on their rushing offense much more than many people realize and it'll be a huge key on Saturday. The 49ers are actually 4th in QB rating allowed. The Saints have faced just two other teams on the road in the top 15 and those were the Jaguars and Titans at 14th and 15th who they managed to score just 23 and 22 points against. But neither of those team's had the pass rush that the 49ers have. Just take a look at the pass rushing teams that the Saints have faced out of domes this year. They're ranked 31st, 32nd, 29th, 25th, and 26th. Again they'll have their hands full and I like the value I'm getting with the general public backing the red hot Saints who a year ago had to go out west and got shut down by the Seahawks. This was once a team that allowed 31 points and went 8-17 on third down against the Rams in a road loss. The Rams were arguably the worst team in the league.

[Mr. IWS]

SPORTS NETWORK OVERALL ANALYSIS

Defense doesn't come to mind when speaking of the Saints, and they were fortunate enough to score more points than the defensively-challenged Lions last week. Fast forward to the present, and New Orleans has a tough challenge against San Francisco's highly-regarded stop unit. Scoring points and running the football are two aspects of the game opposing teams had trouble doing against the 49ers this season, and that's something the Saints will be trying to achieve early on Saturday. They have won the last six matchups with the 49ers, averaging 31 points per game in that time, but must protect the football considering San Francisco led the league with a plus-28 turnover differential. Brees said he has no qualms about playing outdoors on the West Coast, but observers should expect a drop-off in offensive stats in this one. That being said, it will be Brees who leads the Saints into their third NFC Championship Game in the last six years. He'll have some defensive help, too, since Gore is the only true offensive threat for the 49ers.

Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Saints 24, 49ers 17

[Mr. IWS]

SPORTS NETWORK OVERALL ANALYSIS

Considering Tebow was able to have success throwing the ball on one of the league's premier defenses a week ago, going up against a New England unit that's been glaringly submissive all throughout this season should be no sweat, right? Don't count on it. The well-coached Patriots will learn from the Steelers' mistakes and aren't about to let Thomas have one-on-one matchups the talented young receiver can exploit, and the big plays that fueled Denver's first-round upset won't be nearly as prevalent even though New England will give up its share of yards. Stopping the opposition may be the Broncos' greatest concern this weekend, however, as there's little question that the Patriots have the more efficient and experienced of these two offenses. As the team that's also less likely to make the big mistake, New England seems to stand a pretty good chance of erasing its recent run of playoff misfortune.

PICK: NO/SF under 47.5

REASON FOR PICK: 4* #109 NEW ORLEANS Under

New Orleans may have just had the best home season in professional sports history. The Saints not only went 9-0 SU and ATS, but they absolutely shattered the pointspread, by 132.5 points, in the process. That is a full 14.7 ppg that the oddsmakers undersold them. An extreme like that is obviously going to carry a lot of weight in the marketplace, not only in terms of Sides, but also Totals. And it is the Total where we see the biggest mistake having been made this week.

Drew Brees had a 122.4 passer rating at home, compared to 100.7 on the road. The Saints averaged 5.8 yards per rush at home, compared to 3.9 on the road. And it is not as though those road games were against tough competitions, with only two of those eight games coming against teams that made the playoffs. This was an offense that could be brilliant playing on a fast surface at home, where they could dictate play and set their preferred tempo. But now they are playing outdoors for only the second time in three full months, the other being a sluggish 22-17 win at Tennessee, and against a defense that has been among the NFL’s best, they get neither the pace nor offensive efficiency level that this Total is projecting. And while the weather forecast for Saturday calls for a pleasant day by the Bay, Candlestick Park still brings one of the slowest playing surfaces in the NFL, at 13 feet above sea level that can make it a bit soggy even on a good day.

There is no secret as to how Jim Harbaugh will want to play this one. It will healthy doses of Frank Gore and Kendall Hunter overland (a combined 1,684 yards and 10 TD’s), and safe play action passes from Alex Smith to keep the lock and first down chains moving. Harbaugh and his staff did an excellent job of designing an offense within Smith’s abilities, and while that 7.1 yards per pass is unexceptional, 17 TD passes vs. only five INT’s is outstanding. Meanwhile the defense both throttled opposing ground games (#1 against the run), and also had more INT’s (23) than TD passes allowed (20).

The highest lined Total for a 49er home games this season was 42.5. The Side and Total projection is a New Orleans win in the range of 25.5-22. No team reached that plateau in regulation vs. the San Francisco defense on this field, and the only TD this defense has allowed over the L3 home games came when leading Arizona 23-0 midway through the 4th quarter. The markets are being overly influenced by those explosive New Orleans home game, and this will look like an almost different sport by comparison.

Home teams ran the board last weekend and we were on the wrong side of only one of those games with Atlanta. Coming off a 2-1 weekend and a very easy win on Alabama Monday night we like to keep momentum going into Saturday with the red hot Saints traveling across the states to visit San Fran. This number has been a steady 3.5 just about everywhere and you have to ask yourself how do you go against these Saints with their impressive 13-4 ATS mark? If we look a little deeper we will see that all 4 of those ATS losses came on the road this year and their only 3 losses SU were on the road. Include the fact that they are 2-3 ATS when they have to leave a dome and play outside. Match that up with a perfect ATS team at home and only one straight up loss at home this year while they outscored their opponents by 13 points and their counterpart averaged only 1.4 points better per game. All these factors come into play here along with the league’s best take away defense and an extra week of rest we will take the points at home today with the 49ers.

NASHVILLE +104 over Philadelphia Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
These two teams rarely play one another, having met just 14 times lifetime. Philly has been here twice since '05 and the Predators have won both games. That's not surprising because one figures the Preds to be more amped up to play a high-profile team like the Flyers at home in front of what figures to be a sold out house. Nashville is 4-1-1 at home vs. Eastern Conference teams and they've won six of their past seven games overall. The Flyers conclude a four-game trip here after winning their last two, discounting any sense of urgency. The two wins on this trip came against the ‘Canes and Islanders (big deal) and prior to that, Philadelphia had dropped four of seven. The Flyers are really not in the best form right now and that should work well for a warm and jacked up host Play: Nashville +104 (Risking 2 units).

Ottawa -102 over MONTREAL Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
To quote a line from the classic movie, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, “Who are these guys”?With the hated Canadiens on deck, all the Senators did was skate into Madison Square Garden on Thursday and hand the league-leading Rangers just their fourth loss at home this season. Since the end of the second period last Sunday, the Sens have outscored their opponents 12-1. Only five teams in the NHL have more points than Ottawa. They've won seven of eight and they've scored 14 times over their past three games. In its last four games against Philly twice, Pittsburgh and the Rangers, Ottawa has picked up seven of a possible eight points. The Sens are not a fluke, they've been doing this all year and they have payback on their minds here. The Montreal Canadiens are a team in complete chaos. Their talent deficit has been daunting for a long time and thus, years of overacheiving has finally caught up to them. Only the outstanding goaltending of Carey Price and Jaroslav Halak (previously) has kept them respectable. Carey Price is to Montreal what Peyton Manning is to the Indianapolis Colts. The best news is that the last time these two met on Dec 27, Montreal beat up the Senators 6-2. In a complete mismatch both in mind and talent, we'll gladly lay the small price. Play: Ottawa -102 (Risking 2.04 uniots to win 2).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Los Angeles -105 over CALGARY Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
At the time of this writing, there was no line posted but figure this game to be a pick ‘em or thereabouts. We will update this line as soon as it comes out. The Flames have won three in a row since that 9-0 thumping they took in Boston nine days ago but we're not buying it for a minute. They beat a reeling Minnesota club that is currently on a 2-12 run and they followed that up with a misleading 6-3 win over New Jersey. In that win over the Devils, Calgary scored six times on 14 shots on net with pretty much the entire game being played in Calgary's end. Finally, the Flames beat the Ducks 1-0 in OT on Thursday. The only deserving win was over Minnesota. Prior to that, the Flames had dropped nine of 13 games. The luck will run out as they can't keep winning games when they are outplayed constantly. The Kings play hard every game and appear ready to be climbing the standings. Quietly, the Kings have picked up points in 11 of their past 12 games and haven't lost two in a row in over a month. Play: Los Angeles -105 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).


CBB
Xavier -8½ over St. Bonaventure Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
12:00 PM EST. Give us the straight up winner in games like this and we'll usually see the point-spread winner too. The Xavier Musketeers just handed Duquesne a thorough 78-50 beating to extend their Atlantic-10 home-court winning streak to 41. The Bonnies pose little risk in ending it. The reason for this beatable number is that the Bonnies have won four of five and they're coming off a nice 8-point win over the 12-5 Dayton Flyers. Don’t put much stock into that one. Dayton is weak and so are a lot of the other teams St. Bonaventure has defeated. They lost their last road game in Duquesne by 14 points. They also lost at Virginia Tech by nine. The Bonnies are not in the same class as this A-10 power. Xavier went through a recent stretch in which they lost five of six games. That's a good reminder that you can never take anything for granted. This is a strong Musketeer team that plays relentless defense and that continually wins by double-digits at home against inferior competition. The Bonnies fit that bill. Play:#548 Xavier (Risking 2.16 units to win 2).

Dom Chambers Today's winners ...

My 80 Dime winner is on the home underdog San Francisco 49ers in the NFC playoff game against the New Orleans Saints, Checking the sports books in Las Vegas at 6 a.m. and the Niners are gettang 3 ½ points. There was a 4s out there, so always sheop around to make sure you get the best number. My 40 Dime play is on the under in the Denver Broncos-New England Patriots game. The number poseed there is 51.





ANALYSIS





New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers: The last time we saw the Saints, they were dismantling the Detroit Lions 45-28. There was not much not to like about the Saints. They ran the ball and pass it at ease.





The Saints have the top-ranked offenae in the NFL . Drew Brees set passing record this year.





This is a different week and a different opponent. As good as the Saints offense can be, the San Francisco 49ers defense is just as nasty.





The Saints were 9-0 at home, averaging 41.6 points and 507.4 yards per game. They were different on the road, with a 5-3 record, 27.3 points and 441.6 yards per game. The Saints, 0-4 in road playoff games, are a different team away from the Superdome. And who can’t remembeer the 41-36 disaster last season in Seattle?





The recipe for success for the 49ers is nothing new. It’s run ball with Frank Gore, have quarterback Alex Smith manage the game, play great defense. The Niners allow a mere 10.9 points a game at home. The Niners average 23.7 points a game, but that average goes up to 27.6 at home.





And don’t forget the kicking game, which the Niners also have edge. San Francisco kicker David Akers set a record with 44 field goals this season, including seven farther than 50 yards.





The Niners are going to run the ball. As good as the Saints offense can be, their defense is ranked 24th in the league.





Another stat that comes into play especially in playoff games is turnovers. The 49ers had plus-28 turnover margin. They led the league in both takeawaes with 28 and fewest giveaways with 10. Last week against the Lions, there were two or three interception drops by the Lions. That will not happen this week.





And do not discount the week off the Niners had last week. That gives an extra week of rest and to heal. That’s huge this time of the year.





Take the Niners and the points.





Denver Broncos at New England Patriots: The reason for the under in this game is not much to do with the New England Patriots and more to do with the Denver Broncos.





The Broncos, with Tim Tebow, have the league’s top rushing attack. Look for the Broncos to establish the run and keep the ball out of the hands of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.





Last week, the Steelers dared Tebow to beat them with his arm, and he did, completing 316 yards passing in a 29-23 OT win. The Patriots will not fall victim to that ploy.





The last time they played the Patriots won 41-23, but the Broncos imploded, committing three turnovers in the second quarter.





The Broncos are stressing to elimineate mistakes and keep ball control. That’s the only recipe of success that will work for them.The Patriots have the 31st ranked defense. So look for the Broncos to take advantage of that to maintain ball control.





With the total set so high, it’s going to need two-way scoring for it to get there. I don’t expect the Broncos to post many points. Since this is the second meeting, look for the Broncos’ defenee to be a bit more familiar with Brady and his aerial circus.





Take the under





Jeff Benton Saturday's Action
30 Dime winner going out on the New Orleans Saints as the road favarite this Saturday late afternoon agaienst the San Francisco 49ers. At the time I release this winner, the Saints are listed as the 4-point favorite both here in Vegas and offshore.





10 Dime bonus winner in college basketball on the Florida State Seminoles as the home underdog versus the North Carolina Tar Heels. At the time I release this winner, the Seminoles are the 6 1/2-point underdog both here in Vegas and offshore.









ANALYSIS # 1




Going to look for the experiance factor to play a deciding edge in this Saints-Niners showdown today at Candlestick Park.





San Francisco has most definitely made great strides in their first season under Jim Harbaugh, but at the end of the day I doubt whether Alex Smih and their fairly pedesetrian offense will be able to match shots with Drew Brees and his cast of weaopons?





Granted, the Saints are a different team outdoors, and the 49ers bring one of the top defenses in the league into the stadium today, but I still see New Orleans hanging close to 30-points on the board which means the Niners will have to come up with at least 27-points to get the cover. I don't think they can do that, as the Saints defense has been solid versus the run, and I am sure they will blitz the hell out of Smith if he is in dropback position.





This is San Fran's first playoff game in years, while this time of the year has become commonplace for New Orleans. I am aware that the Saints have never won a playoff game away from home, but that will not stop me from backing them today. It won't be easy, but the Saints will be a touchdown better than the 49ers when the smoke has cleared.





The Saints running attack has been a definite weapon this year, and Darren Sproles has given Sean Payton the "player in space" that is needed to neutralize some of the things the 49ers like to do on defense.





I am laying the road chalk with New Orleans to be playing football for at least one more weekend.









ANALYSIS # 2





Dangerous spot for the Tar Heels today, as they catch a Florida State team in serious payback-mode. Last year UNC used a three-pointer at the buzzer to beat the Sems on their home floor, 72-70.





Florida State did grab the cover in that game as the 2 1/2-point underdog, and the points have been the play with State when they face North Carolina, as Florida State has gone 6-1 against the spread the last seven times the schools have faced one another, and they have been able to split the last four meetings straight up.





Seminoles have the size with James and Gibson to neutralize the Tar Heels bigs, and they also Ian Miller now eligible after missing the first nine games of the season. Miller has been pouring 15-ppg since his return.





Florida State has gone 7-2 against the spread the as a home underdog since the '08-'09 season, and they are getting just enough today to make me interested in backing them.





Another tight one between these two ACC rivals, as the Seminoles make it a 7-1 series spread run in the underdog role.

3 UNIT PLAY

New Orleans/ San Francisco Under 47: Google News Play. The Niners know that they cannot beat the the Saints in a shootout and they have one weapon on their team to help them make sure that doesn't happen, and his name is Frank Gore. The Saints were 12th in the league vs the run and they will be taking on Frank Gore (1211 yards, 4.3 ypc and 8 TD's) and the Niners 8th ranked rushing offense. All tat running that the Niners will be doing will eat up plenty of clock as they know that is one way to keep this offense off the field. The Saints offense is number 1 on the year, but in their last 4 road games on grass field they were able to score just 23.8 ppg. The Saints do come up with a lot of big plays, but the feeling here is that the Niners very good defense will make this team work their way down the field with some time consuming drives. The Niners allow just 10.9 ppg at home and their home games overall have put up just 38.5 ppg. I really don't expect more than 44 points in this one. KEY TRENDS--- SAN FRANCISCO is 16-5 UNDER in home games versus good offensive teams - averaging >=5.65 yards/play in the second half of the season since 1992 and 14-4 UNDER in home games after a road game where both teams scored 24 or more points since 1992.

2 UNIT PLAY

New Orleans -3,5 over SAN FRANCISCO: Gonna take the square stand here. I feel that their is no way the niners will be able to score enough points to keep this game close. I expect the Niner running game to help keep the scoring down, but it will also give them fewer possessions and I don't see them scoring every time they have the ball. The 49ers defense is elite against the run, but they struggled to stop the pass when facing the league’s top quarterbacks. Dallas (432 yards), Philadelphia (416), Detroit (293), N.Y. Giants (311) and Pittsburgh (330) all moved the ball in the air against a them them this year. Going up against the Niners defense, I don't expect the Saints to score every time as well, but they will put enough points on the board to get the cover here. I expect the Saints to win by a TD.

L.A. CLIPPERS -2 over L.A. Lakers Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
What a great spot for the Clippers to really show the city and the rest of the NBA that they're the “new kids in town”. The Lakers are getting far too much credit after extending their winning streak to five and running their record to 9-4. What most bettors forget is that Kobe's team opened 0-2 and were 3-3 at one point. The five wins in a row came against Golden State, Memphis, Phoenix, Utah and Cleveland last night. All were at home with the exception of an OT win in Utah. The Lakers did all they could to hold off a furious rally by the Cavs last night. Now the Lakers will get right back to work and play their sixth game in eight nights. They're tired and they're overvalued. The Lakers have played 13 games to the Clippers eight. The Clip Joint are rested and after a bit of a tough start, they've now won four of five. Included in that run is wins over the Heat and Trail Blazers. The Clippers are getting very familiar with one another and all that talent is beginning to gel. This is a spot where actuality trumps reputation. Play L.A. Clippers -2 (Risking 2.1 units to win 2).
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Minnesota +8½ over ATLANTA Pinnacle (http://www.pinnaclesports.com/)
The dismantling of the Timberwolves occurred a few years ago with the departure of Kevin Garnett and it's been downhill ever since. Not much attention has been given to the T-Wolves and that's going to allow them to sneak up on some teams and steal some wins, especially teams from the East, who rarely see them. Several items point in their favor and we'll start with Darko Milicic. Minnesota constantly fed the ball in the post to Milicic even though he was their least effective offensive player on a per-possession basis. Merely redistributing these possessions to players who can either score or pass will substantially improve the Minnesota offense. Second, they have Rick Adelman coaching, which means two things: (1) They have Adelman, and (2) they no longer have Kurt Rambis. Huge difference and it's showing. The T-Wolves are 4-4 over their past eight games. They took the Bulls to the wire recently and went into New Orleans last night and won by seven. They catch the complacent Hawks after Atlanta beat Charlotte by 30. The Hawks are now 8-4 but that's as misleading as their 44-wins from a season ago. The Hawks gave up more points than they scored in the regular season, went 10-17 after the All-Star break, lost one of the top sixth men in free agency and didn't do much to replace him. Last week they lost Al Horford and there's no way they're going to replace him. What we have here is an overpriced Hawks team playing an underpriced Wolves squad and the result is an overlay with the pup having a great shot to win this one straight up. Play: Minnesota +8½ (Risking 2.14 units). Play: Minnesota +346 (Risking 0.5 units).

Game: Ole Miss at Auburn (1:30 PM Eastern)
Pick: Game Total OVER 124.5 -110

The Ole Miss Rebels are off to an 11-5 start on the season and travel to play an Auburn team that has done very well at home at 9-1 for the season. Auburn has struggled for points in their last three games, but those were facing some elite teams in Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Florida State. They have seen 10 of their other 13 games produce 65 points or more on the offensive end, which puts a low total in jeopardy of going over the top. The Tigers have played their last 4 vs. a team with a winning record OVER the total, and this series has played up-tempo with each of the last four producing a win on the OVER.
Play this one OVER the total.

Last Week 1-3)


PRO FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS

SATURDAY, Jan. 14

Denver (9-8) at New England (13-3)

Time: 1:30 p.m. PT

Line: Patriots by 13½ (50)

Weather: Low-20s, clear

Facts: New England was 1-2 vs. playoff teams in 2011, winning 41-23 at Denver in Week 15. The Broncos were outscored by 81 points this season, second worst margin ever for a playoff team. Denver had 252 yards rushing vs. the Patriots and still blown out. Patriots TEs Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski teamed for 13 catches and 179 yards vs. Denver. Tim Tebow averaged an NFL season-high 15 yards a drop-back last week vs. Pittsburgh. A week earlier his norm was 2.1 vs. KC, second worst.

Analysis: The Broncos, off a 29-23 win vs. Pittsburgh , have had three losses that exceeded 25 points this season -- three more than the other Final 8 squads combined. And, Denver is on short rest vs. a bye team led by QB Tom Brady, which was 2-1 as a double-digit choice this season. In league postseason history, teams in this spot have gone 1-4 (SU & ATS) and have been outscored 169-62. It won’t help that Broncos defensive boss Dennis Allen picked this week to flirt with St. Louis about its head coach opening.

Forecast: Patriots 40, Broncos 14

New Orleans (14-3) at San Francisco (13-3)

Time: 5 p.m. PT

Line: Saints by 3½ (47)

Weather: High 50s, clear

Facts: The 49ers, 7-0-1 ATS at home, have a turnover edge of +28, second best in NFL history. New Orleans , behind QB Drew Brees and the most productive offense in NFL annals, has scored at least 42 points in its past four games, all indoors. By contrast, SF has scored that much just once in the past eight seasons. 49ers QB Alex Smith was sacked a league-high 44 times in the regular season. The Saints, though, have had only two sacks their past three games covering 131 drop-backs.

Analysis: Things have turned somewhat sour for SF since its 9-1 start. For instance, the Niners gave up nine sacks to Baltimore on Thanksgiving. And what’s with RB Frank Gore? His production has dropped from 4.9 yards a carry and five 100-yard rushing games in the first half of the season to a norm of 53.6 a game and 3.5 a carry the final eight games. Defensively, through 14 games, only one team eclipsed 100 rushing yards. In the final two immensely important games, bottomfeeders Seattle and St. Louis both surpassed 100.

Forecast: Saints 38, 49ers 19

Denver +13.5 Over New England 25 Dimes
Once again, I'll be shocked if Tebow can lead his team to victory, but I think they can keep it close. When these two teams met in December, New England's 41-23 victory was somewhat misleading. The Patriots surrended over 400 yards of offense in that outing, and 252 came from the ground game. New England also converted all three Denver fumbles into scores. If the Broncos can play mistake free football and get some pressure on Brady, I think they have a chance.

Denver Broncos vs. New England Patriots

The final game of Saturdays divisional round match-ups pits Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos (9-8, 8-9 ATS) against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots (13-3, 9-7 ATS); kick-off from Gillette Stadium for this AFC playoff match is set to go live at 8:00 ET on CBS.

After dropping each of their final three games of the regular season and backing their way into the playoffs as the AFC West champs, not many gave the Broncos a chance of playing in this game; not even the oddsmakers who opened them up as eight-point home underdogs over Wild Card Weekend. Be that as it may, Head Coach John Foxs squad went out and took it to the defending AFC champs before Big Ben and the Steelers offense came up with the game tying score at the end of regulation. Tied at 23 in the extra session, many were excited to see how the new overtime playoff rules would play out, but the Broncos squashed that dream quickly when Tebow connected with WR Demaryius Thomas for an 80-yard TD scamper on its first extra session play from scrimmage that sent Sports Authority Field into a frenzy and punched the Broncos ticket into the divisional round. Surprisingly, Denver was at its best as a visitor posting 5-3 SU & 6-2 ATS records in the regular season.

Are the Patriots really worthy of just a +200 return if they win Super Bowl XLVI? Based solely upon its regular season resume and winning 13 of its 16 games played, many would say yes. However, a deeper look into the Patriots recent shortcomings may have many taking a shot with Denver in this spot not only against the spread, but on the moneyline as well. Reason being, the Pats have been one and done in the playoffs each of the last two seasons and last won a Super Bowl back in 2005. Though they did rattle off the first undefeated regular season since the Miami Dolphins pulled off the feat back in 1972, they fell in the Super Bowl back in 2008. Its been all downhill from there at least from a postseason perspective for this New England based outfit. On top of that, Head Coach Bill Belichicks squad was forced to battle back from enormous deficits in their last three games, and if they get behind early this time around, Denver might just have the confidence to see it all the way through this time. That said; NE won seven of eight at home this season and posted a 4-4 mark against the closing pointspread.

Tonight will mark the second meeting between these franchises this season. New England got behind early in its Week 15 trip to Denver, but battled back with 27 unanswered points to pull out the 41-23 road win and cover as seven-point favorites. Denver has gone 5-1 ATS in its L/6 road games and stands a perfect 4-0 ATS the L/4 times it was dogged on the road. New England is 5-1 SU & ATS versus the L/6 AFC West opponents its faced, but also checks in 0-6 ATS its L/6 playoff games as well as 1-5 ATS the L/6 times it hosted the Broncos. The under is 4-1-1 the L/6 times these teams went at it from Gillette, but the over is 15-3 the L/18 times Denver squared off against a +.500 opponent.

LINES2WiN - Havent posted in a while, Jan is off to a bad start but NCAAB has been gold Going 60-35-2 (+31.35 Units) overall. Football has been bad, feel free to fade that.

2-0 (+2.27 Units) last night. Another winning night as Penn outlasts Columbia while South Illinois closes out Indiana st.

NFL

49ers +4 -115 (1.5 Units) - Buying the half point. Brees is very human away from the turf and the dome. Dome teams on the road in the playoffs win about 25% of the time. San Fran is tops in the league in rush defense which means they can commit more guys elsewhere. Both teams are playing their best football right now, but we actually think the Niners can beat the Saints. Playing small since NFL has been atrocious for us.

NCAAB

Wyoming +3.5 (1.5 Units) - New Mexico has issues closing out games. Both teams are solid but Wyoming is home and getting points spells trouble for New Mexico.

#734 - IUPUI +8 (2 units) - Oral Roberts is good but Indiana-Purdue doesn't lose by 8 points often. Looks like an easy cover or an outright win at home tonight

EVENT: New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers

TIME: 4:30PM EST

RATING: 7* New Orleans Saints -3.5

ANALYSIS:

The Saints leave the Big Easy for a trip to the west coast to face the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday afternoon in the divisional round of the playoffs. We used New Orleans last week as our NFL Wild Card Best Bet and they delivered after falling behind they stormed back and gave us the against the spread victory. This week's challenge is much larger as the Saints have never won a playoff game on the road but that will change today. The key matchup is going to be the offense of the Saints against the defense of the 49ers. The talk has been about how solid the San Francisco defense has been this season and for the most part it has been solid especially against the run but their Achilles heel is defending the pass. San Francisco struggled against some of the league's top quarterbacks this season giving up 432 yards passing to Dallas, 416 yards passing to Philly, 293 yards passing to Detroit, 311 yards passing to the Giants and 330 yards passing to Pittsburgh. They will face one of the league's best quarterbacks today in the Saints Drew Brees. He is a first ballot hall of famer and would certainly be considered one of the best if not the best at doing what we call "throwing a receiver open". We have been fortunate enough to see Brees play in person several times and I can tell you he can throw into a very small space one, which only his receiver can catch. Brees has a very talented supporting cast in the backfield, tight end and of course, wide receiver, all these positions should be considered a threat by the San Francisco defense. If they fail to recognize the threat, it could be a very long day for the 49ers defense. Technical support comes from several league-wide systems that all recommend a play on the Saints or a play against the 49ers. We want to Play ON a Semi-Final road team as long as they are not an underdog of eleven or more points coming off a WildCard home favorite SU win in its last game and three SU wins prior to that, 8-0 ATS covering by an average of 8.1 points per game. The 49ers qualify in two negative systems that are active. Play AGAINST a Playoff team (not a favorite of more than 8 points) in its first playoff game coming off two regular season road SU wins, 0-6 ATS failing to cover the spread by 14.1 points per game. Play AGAINST NFL playoff home teams in their first playoff game versus an opponent with the same number of regular season SU losses, 0-9 ATS failing to cover the spread by 8.7 points per game. The Saints are 12-3 ATS as a favorite this season. New Orleans is 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) after allowing 300 or more passing yards in their last game this season. New Orleans is 6-0 ATS (+6.0 Units) after allowing 400 or more total yards in their previous game this season. The Saints are 7-0 ATS (+7.0 Units) after scoring 25 points or more in 2 straight games this season. The Saints are 8-0 ATS (12.3 ppg) as a road favorite when their opponent's season-to-date average pass attempts per game is fewer than 30. Play ON NFL teams with a Wide Receiver Pass Percentage For less than 46 percent and a Successful Passing Plays For advantage more than 2. These teams are 142-78 ATS including 42-14 ATS the last three seasons. Play ON any NFL team with a TOD more than or equal to three, PAF more than 37 yards and LGRAA less than 30, 84-28 ATS including 10-3 ATS this season. The Saints have been here before and that experience along with the horrible taste left in their mouths by that road loss in Seattle their last trip to the postseason should make the difference as the Saints advance with a SU and ATS win today!

Bill Belichick is very talented at getting his defense ready for a showdown after a bye week. This time around however, he simply doesn't have the personnel. The Pats D has been getting steamrolled week after week, indicated by their rank of 31st in the league. The injuries have led to a vacuum of talent and leadership that even the mind of Belichick can't fill. The problems simply don't lie in one facet of their game, but in both the pass and rush departments. Tebow showed some serious poise last week, and I'm confident he can put enough points up on the scoreboard to help push this one over the total. Demaryius Thomas has emerged as a downfield threat, while I look to McGahee to rebound with a stellar rushing performance. Take this over!
