glad someone else stayed up to watch the jags and steelers game too and admit it lol
cracking game....

for sunday, im unsure if the two games will match that one..but i wouldnt be surprised !!! these playoffs are awesome and sooo much is at stake.

Sunday

It looks straight up wins for Tampa and the Chargers, however I'm wondering if Eli is gonna produce one more good game, so I'm certainly not staking any money..just viewing the 1st game

Chargers selections later today... the total is v/interesting Win

Im quite surprised by some of the odds ths evening, especially on the Giants, Id put them favourites as see them outscoring the Bucs.

The bet though that is appealing to me at present is NYG over 19.5 points at a nice price as well.

im going over 39 in both games, no value in chargers or the other handicap i dont think..

Tenn vs San D = High scoring affair for me as titans will have to throw to keep it close and both teams can give up points...San Diego will certainly get over 20 points, just depends on Tennesse scoring a few

Giants vs Bucs = two good defences but Eli can put points on the board when conditions are good and i expect tampa to keep it close, Giants do give up points as well and with only 39 point total, this should be done.

18:00 NY Giants @ TB Buccaneers
TB Buccaneers-3.0 (Point Spread) @ 2.1
This seems close, but the key to my siding with bucs is their pass defense. Its simply awesome, giants may be good pressing quarter back, but garcias well capable of coping, and giants are hurting with few injuries hurting them after playing full squad in last game, they will miss shockey . Bucs deep pass is very good and thats where giants are weak and patriots match showed that up, and its a dangerous part of the game to have vunerable. Giants rush is probably better but they dont use it often in red zone so they may have to settle for field goals while Bucs put in touchdowns. Its also interesting to note Garcia is 2-0 v Giants in the play-offs, and his mobilty makes him though to stop through the blitz. The Giants do travel well but Garica moves so well in pocket its in Bucs hands. Galloways a top guy for bucs and he will be though to contain and hillards also raised his game. Also Giants OHara the centre the play-callers doesnt seem 100%, and Giants may just have to work that much harder for their scores. And thats why im siding with the Bucs.

The 2nd game this evening looks very tight from a bettign markets perspective, lines are all spot on.

I put this as an easy win for the Chargers but im not one to play large handicaps. I put the points total at around 38 so the over and under lines are far too tight to call aswell.

The odds on the straight chargers victory are too low to play.

The total chargers point line of 24.5 is not too bad but I only put the chargers 4-5 points over it and I like to play at least 1 td in had so at 4/5 is no value.

The total titans point line is enticing in that its at around 16.5 and I personally think will struggle to get 10-13 points, still no value at 3/5.

The only value bet I can see is the Chargers -3.5 at around 2/5, 1/2 ish so thats my play this evening, chargers -3.5 for safety as a double figure handicap does not appeal.

Got my accum up! (posted on first page) I got battered after backing the unders in the seattle game of 39 points. 36 points in the 4th quaater is unheard of but there you go...four very interesting playoff games to look forward to. I will have a think about them during the week and I will set up a thread and selections for it...thanks for all the comments this weekend Win
