Randle Handle 2-0 saturday
KANSAS CITY +3 +1.05 over Baltimore Sports Interaction
Many believe disposing of the Chiefs will be an easy task for these battle-tested Ravens. We’re not so sure. Baltimore may have had a tougher schedule but that could work in the underdog’s favor. The Ravens appeared tired and worn in its final two games, both of which Baltimore needed to win in pursuit of its best possible playoff seeding. Joe Flacco’s passing game really took a dive as the Ravens amassed a puny 227 yards combined in that final pair against the inferior Browns and Bengals respectively. The Chiefs have been solid all season long. They were especially tough at this venue, winning 7 of 8 here while allowing a meager 14.5 points per game. In addition to its unheralded defense, the Chiefs offence has played unnoticeably well. QB Matt Cassel threw for 27 touchdowns on the year, compared to only seven picks. Even with their efficient passing game, KC’s offensive strength has been its run game, averaging in excess of a league-leading 164 yards per contest. RB Jamaal Charles led the Chiefs’ charge with more than 2,000 yards from scrimmage and even if the Ravens have some success at slowing the gifted back down, there are enough talented players at the skill positions to pick up the slack. It’s been awhile since the Chiefs have hosted a playoff game. This is not an easy venue to win at during the best of times. On this day, when it will be louder than usual and with a competent team on the field, there is no reason to not accept the points being offered. Play: Kansas City +3 +1.05 (Risking 2 units).
Green Bay ml +1.22 over PHILADELPHIA Sports Interaction
The Eagles have been an exciting team to follow this season, mainly because of the resurgence of QB Michael Vick. There are other very talented offensive players on the Philly side and containing this multi-dimensional offense will be no easy task. However, if there is an NFC team that has the best chance of doing so, it is likely to be these Packers. Green Bay allowed a measly 240 points on the season. Only the Steelers allowed less. The Bears were the closest NFC team but allowed 46 more than their division rival. These two combatants ended up with identical 10-6 records on the year but when we look at the losses, one might be amazed to find that the Pack never lost any of its games by more than 4 points. In fact, of Green Bay’s six losses, four were by three points, two by four points and two of the defeats occurred in overtime. The Pack’s excellent defensive coordinator, Dom Capers, will have had the luxury of seeing Vick in the team’s season opener. If any coach can game plan for the elusive scrambler, Capers is more than capable. Philly’s final two games of the season, did not instill much confidence either as these Birds dropped a pair to less-talented Vikings and Cowboys. The Packers have big strike ability of their own and with the skilled Aaron Rodgers leading the charge, we anticipate the Packers getting by this wild-card opener. Play Green Bay +1.22 (Risking 2 units).
