WILD CARD WEEKEND 1/7-8/2012

ATL +3 (1u) - Ryan is going against a Giants’ secondary that allowed 255.1 pypg (29th in the league). Soooo, even tho its out of the dome and into the cold, i'm betting Ryan finally wins a playoff game. SCORE: Falcons 30-Giants 24.

DET +10.5 (1.5u) - may wait till later in the week to pull the trigger to see if the line moves higher. Public is betting the Saints' invincible in-the-Dome image. Stafford should keep Detroit close. SCORE: Lions 30 - Saints 34.


DEN +9 (1.5u) - i like them even better if Tebow was benched. The Steelers are banged up, key players are out, and the Browns nearly beat them Sunday. SCORE: Steelers 20 - Broncos 14.

HOU -3 (2units)
1. Arian Foster was inactive last week. The Bengals have had trouble stopping the run. Andre Johnson will be back which should only help the Texans running game.
2. Beside the Saint's dome, the Houston HFA comes in #2
3. Wade Phillips was out during the recent losing streak, throwing out the last meaningless game, their D should be back to normal
4. Neither team are playoff contenders...or at least 'true' contenders, but the matchups favor the Texans.

Also leaning on the OVER, SCORE: Bengals 18- Texans 24
