The NFC fifth-seed Atlanta Falcons and the fourth-seed New York Giants clash in the Wildcard Round of this season’s NFL playoffs this upcoming Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium.
One can only hope that this week’s NFL Divisional round matchups come close to the amazing lineup of games and outcomes we saw on Wild Card Weekend. Anyone catch the games this weekend? I’m trying to remember…did anything crazy happen?
There was no shortage of offense this past weekend as all four wildcard playoff games went over their total. While the first three games were one sided victories, the final game between Green Bay and Arizona was not only a thriller that has to be already considered an instant classic; it set the record for most points ever scored in a postseason game.
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?
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.
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.
Make it three straight weeks that the total bet was split right down the middle as the odds makers did a great job setting the lines on a very difficult week to handicap.
Eight games stayed under the total with the lowest score coming in the Philadelphia @ Dallas game with the Cowboys pitching the 24-0 shutout.
Not many forecasted this to be a Wild Card match-up at the beginning of the NFL betting season. However, the Atlanta Falcons (11-5, 9-7 ATS) will look to continue its unbelievable single season turnaround when it takes a trip to the desert to square off against the Arizona Cardinals (9-7, 9-7 ATS); kick-off is slated for 4:30 ET and the game can be seen nationally on NBC. The Falcons broke even for NFL bettors on the road this season by compiling a 4-4 ATS mark while Arizona produced a decent return posting a 5-3 home ATS record.
The Baltimore Ravens (11-5, 12-3-1 ATS) will look to keep its Super Bowl dreams intact as it visits sunny Miami for the second time this season to do battle with fiery head coach Tony Sparano’s Dolphins (11-5, 8-8 ATS); kick-off is slated for 1:00 ET and the NFL Playoff betting affair can be seen nationally on NBC. The Ravens were one of the best money-makers on the road this season after cashing ATS in 6 of their 8 games, while Miami struggled to cover the pointspread at home going a very poor 2-6 ATS.
