Pats open as 12 point favorites
 
NFL Divisional Playoffs Lines

@ Green Bay -8 Seattle (40.5)
@ New England -12 Jacksonville (48.5)
@ Indianapolis -8 San Diego (48)
@ Dallas -7.5 NY Giants (47.5)

Biggest of the weekend. Seems right to me.

Not touching that spread, just going to enjoy the game. If it was -6.5 or less I'd hammer it.

yeah, i agree i think we will at least win by 2 touchdowns.
DG wont be able to beat us passing.
and the jag defense wont be able to stop brady and co.

I think all these spreads are inflated.

Yep, because bookies took a killing on the Pats for the first 8 weeks of the year, so then started grossly inflating the spreads to recoup some of their losses. Don't fall into their trap and bet with your hearts guys, just enjoy the games.

I agree. Maybe the Indy game is about right.

Yeah, as much as I'd like to believe the Chargers will win, the Colts always do. I've accepted that now.

Unlike the Squealers and their boistrous fans, the Goobers of flyover country are legitimate and worthy rivals. Yeah, I hate Polian but respect the way he drafts and constructs a franchise. Manning's excellence only makes the Patriots achievements all that much more respectable.

The Colts are the reigning SB champs until someone dethrones them.

I give them 2 weeks.

my opinion on weight of spread...means nothing, absolutely nothing.

I think the Pats should cover pretty easily.
Garrard is a young QB making his first start in the playoffs.
Get ready to see some confusion, some sacks, maybe a pick or forced fumble, and a lotta frustration for Garrard.
