NFL Wild Card Weekend

Let's jump right in. We will start with the Colts against the Texans. Indy and Andrew Luck are playing well on both sides of the ball. Not fond of Bill O'Brien as a head coach and play calling in key moments. Colts must keep Watson under control and off the field, They showed they could do that against the Titans and Cowboys over the last weeks of the regular season. It continues against Texans.

Seattle against Dallas is up next. 

Seahawks are a replica of Colts. They play outstanding defense and they run the ball down your throat. They beat Dallas earlier this season. Dallas is 2-8 in last 10 playoff appearances. Boys are tough at home. This is a solid under game. Russell Wilson is better than Prescott and will prove it Saturday. 

Chargers and Ravens open the slate on Sunday. Ravens beat Chargers in Los Angeles two weeks ago.

Rivers played his worst game of the season. He will have Melvin Gordon back so that will help. Ravens defense is outstanding. Defense wins championships. Chargers playing the early game and traveling across country. West coast teams normally don't do well in this situation. Ravens win and sack Rivers 4 times.

Eagles versus Bears is the final contest of the weekend. Eagles are riding the magic of Nick Foles again. Less weapons than last year. Not as strong defensively as Bears. They may be equal offensively. We expect a low scoring game so under 41 is the play. The money on the game is trending toward the Bears and the line has moved by 1.5. We are content with the under.

NFL Recap -Week 3

This week we are looking at the 1-2 teams with the best chance of making the playoffs. The percentage of teams starting with a 1-2 record and getting to the postseason is approximately 23%.

That equates to less than 1/4  of the teams that have that record. The top four teams that have a good shot of doing this are Carolina, Indy, Arizona and Bengals. Carolina and Indy play in weak divisions and can make ground up by playing opponents they are familiar with.

Cam Newton

Andrew Luck

Arizona has enough talent on both sides of the ball to go on a winning streak of  4 to 6 games. They won 9 straight in 2015.Bengals play in a tough division and are looking up at the Ravens and Steelers. Cincy has made the playoffs the last 5 years in a row.

Their is reason for optimism in the aforementioned teams. They have to win this week or their chance will drop to approximately 10%.

Next week, we will look at the top undefeated teams and look at how they rank in a power rating index. Will your team be included?
