2010 SuperBowl Championship Lines: Saints Colts Free Predictions

Super Bowl XLIV Preview & Pick

Finally, it’s time. Time for what many fans expect to be the greatest Super Bowl ever. After all, we’re seeing football’s most exciting offenses go head to head. We should, however, use last year’s Steelers/Cardinals matchup as a reminder to expect the unexpected. That game was a classic and the Colts and Saints aren’t guaranteed to play a close game despite the hype.

2010 NFC Conference Championship Lines: Vikings Saints Free Predictions

NFL betting – NFC Championship – Vikings vs Saints Preview & Pick

As much as the Colts have to take the Jets seriously, I’m sure we can all agree that the Vikings/Saints game is the “heavyweight” battle of the weekend. Two great quarterbacks, two great offenses, two aggressive defenses, two teams comfortable playing indoors…sounds like fun.

2010 AFC Conference Championship Lines: Jets Colts Free Predictions

NFL betting – AFC Championship – Jets vs Colts Preview & Pick

First, we saw the Colts and Bengals remaining on the New York Jets’ regular-season schedule and figured they were finished. Then, after the Colts and Bengals rested their starters, the Jets were handed a playoff berth. So we wrote them off against Cincinnati in the Wildcard game and the Jets proved us wrong. Surely, though, their Cinderella run would end in San Diego. Nope.

2010 AFC Divisional Round Lines: Jets Chargers Free Predictions

NFL Divisional Playoff Betting – Jets vs Chargers Preview & Pick

As the New York Giants showed us in 2007, the team with the greatest momentum, not necessarily the greatest record, often makes the most noise in the NFL playoffs. By that logic, the San Diego Chargers are sitting pretty entering their home matchup with the New York Jets this weekend.

2010 NFC Divisional Round Lines: Cowboys Vikings Free Predictions

NFL Divisional Playoff Betting – Cowboys vs Vikings Preview & Pick

Here come the Cowboys.

Since the Troy Aikman era ended, the Cowboys punished their fans with 13 seasons of losing. Then last week happened. America’s Team won its first playoff game since 1996 and seems to be peaking just in time for its clash with the rested-but-possibly-rusty Minnesota Vikings. Given how well Dallas is playing right now, it almost feels like we shouldn’t call them a true underdog – even on the road.

2010 AFC Divisional Round Lines: Ravens Colts Free Predictions

NFL Divisional Playoff Betting – Ravens vs Colts Preview & Pick

After last week, it’s clear we have to take the Baltimore Ravens seriously despite their 9-7 regular season record. Then again, most savvy bettors saw their destruction of the Patriots coming – myself included. New England was a wounded animal. The Indianapolis Colts are an entirely different beast.

NFL Divisional Playoff Betting – Cardinals vs Saints Preview & Pick

Well, that was interesting. Hosting the Packers last Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals treated us to one of the most entertaining playoff games we’ll ever see: a 52-45 overtime triumph that ended up the highest-scoring game in NFL postseason history.

2010 NFC Wild Card Lines: Packers Cardinals Free Predictions

NFL Wildcard Playoff Betting – Packers vs Cardinals Preview & Pick

The last playoff game of the week completes the Week 17-rematch trifecta. Few teams finished 2009 hotter than the Green Bay Packers, who won seven of their final eight games. After they kept their foot on the gas in an excessive beating of Arizona last week, however, did they poke a sleeping bear?

2010 AFC Wild Card Lines: Ravens Patriots Free Predictions

NFL Wildcard Playoff Betting – Ravens vs Patriots Preview & Pick

2009 ended strangely for sports dynasties. Whereas the Yankees returned to glory and may have started a new dynasty, it seems we’re witnessing the end of the Red Wings’ reign in the NHL and, of course, the Patriots’ dominance in the NFL.

2010 AFC Wild Card Odds: Jets Bengals Free Predictions

NFL Wildcard Playoff Betting – Jets vs Bengals Preview & Pick

It’s safe to say the Bengals have little to prove this week. Everyone doubted the Cardiac Cats throughout the season and they responded by running the table against their own division and winning the AFC North Crown. This is a good, not great, football team and everyone knows it. The Jets are a different story.
