Here are your late NFL consensus plays for the playoff games of Saturday, Jan. 11.


STRONG PLAY: New England -7 Indy


REGULAR PLAY: Seattle -8 New Orleans


NORM'S LATE THOUGHTS: Both of these selections agree with Picks of the Pole. But a word of caution about this weekend. Some of you elect to play "teasers" but in the playoffs I'd be very careful here. The historical results of this weekend suggest that the results often fall very far from the line and that blowouts are very common. Thus the advantage of moving the line 6 or 7 points one way or the other (the common teaser amounts) is often not beneficial. Play the games straight and live with those results.

8 Unit Play. #540 Take Arkansas Razorbacks -1 over Florida Gators (1 pm ESPN 2) When pulling the trigger on this big of a play, all you can ask for it to get you money down on a perfect set-up and that is what we have here today. Arkansas is a much better team at home and Coach Anderson's 40 minutes of hell is hard to beat in Fayetteville. The refs cannot call every foul and thus Arkansas was able to run the table in the SEC last year at home and have not lost a home game this season to this point. The Razorbacks got pounded on Wednesday at Texas A & M, but the same thing happened last year and Arkansas won their next home game by 23 points. Michael Qualls and Bo Portis shot just 4 for 22 in that game on Wednesday but I expect a much better effort for both of them tonight.

But what this play really comes down to is fading the Gators, a team that is really banged up on the moment and will be without their leading scorer Casey Prather for this game. To make matters worse, the Gators have injuries to Scottie Wilbekin, Patrick Young, and Michael Frazier II. Florida is already a soft team to begin with and losing Prather will be too much to overcome. Arkansas beat Florida by 11 points last year at Bud Walton Arena and will enter this game having won 23 in a row at home. Florida is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 SEC games. Arkansas is 8-1 ATS in their last 9 games following a loss in their previous game. All the signs points to a rout by the home team and we are confident our money in on the right side.

4 Unit Play. #546 Take North Texas Mean Green -9 over Tulane Green Wave (2 pm) This is just a basic fade play on Tulane as North Texas is nothing special but Tulane is absolutely terrible. Tulane is 1-6 ATS in their last 7 road games and 15-36 in their last 51 conference games. North Texas is 4-1 ATS (1 push) in their last 6 home games.

4 Unit Play. #555 Take Missouri Tigers -4 over Auburn Tigers (2 pm ESPN U)

5 Unit Play. #635 Take Utah State Aggies (pk) over Nevada Wolf Pack (8 pm) A rebirth has been taking place for Nevada as they were terrible in the nonconference portion of the season before winning their first 3 Mountain West games. But those wins came against terrible teams and they will get all they can handle tonight against Utah State. Whether you agree with Stew Morril's decision or not, this team is much better with Jarred Shaw in the middle of the line-up. The Aggies are now at full strength and I believe that they will make some noise in the MWC this season. Nevada is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 home games. Utah State is 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games played on Saturday.

3 Unit Play. #111 Take New Orleans Saints +8 over Seattle
Seahawks (Saturday 4:35 pm FOX) The Hawks are the No. 1 seed but they
will have their hands full on Saturday taking on one of the most explosive
offenses in the league. New Orleans is coming off a win at Philadelphia and now
travel west to face the No. 1 team in the conference. The Hawks are not an
explosive team on offense and need to create opportunities on defense in order
to blowout teams. I just do not see Drew Brees giving them many chances. Seattle
lost to Arizona at home down the stretch and that showed that this team is not
invincible at home like many though they were. New Orleans is 23-11 ATS in their
last 34 games played on field turf.
