This weeks line
IND +4 Over/Under 41
@ BAL -4
It will be strength vs. strength as the Colts will bring the third-ranked offense to Baltimore to face the Ravens' top-ranked defense. Coming off a 23-8 win over the Chiefs in a wild-card game, the Colts are in the divisional playoffs for a fourth straight year. The Ravens, winners of the AFC North, are in the playoffs for the first time since 2003 and enjoyed a bye week as the AFC's No. 2 seed. The teams last met in the opening game of 2005 with Indianapolis winning 24-7 in Baltimore, where the Colts made their home until 1984. In 2003, Colts quarterback Peyton Manning and Ravens QB Steve McNair (then of the Titans) were the league's co-MVPs.
SEA + 9.5 Over/Under 37
@ CHI - 9.5
The Bears are trying to repeat what the Seahawks did last year, riding the NFC's No. 1 seed all they way to the Super Bowl. But the uneven play of quarterback Rex Grossman and numerous injuries on the NFL's fifth-ranked defense has caused concern in the Windy City. The Seahawks edged Dallas at home in the wild-card round and are looking to recapture their form from last year's postseason run after an up-and-down season. One of Seattle's lowest points was a 37-6 loss at the hands of the Bears in Week 4. "Obviously, that was probably the worst we have played as a team this year -- and for sure me," Seahawks quarterback Matt Hasselbeck said.
NENG+5 Over/Under 46.5
@SDC-5
So what do the Chargers get as a reward for winning their final 10 games of the season and earning the AFC's No. 1 seed? A date with the Patriots, who boast a coach (Bill Belichick) and quarterback (Tom Brady) that together are 11-1 in the playoffs. San Diego doesn't have nearly as much experience at quarterback, where Philip Rivers will be making his first postseason start. But the Chargers do have LaDainian Tomlinson, the league's MVP who set an NFL record with 31 touchdowns. New England is in the divisional playoffs for the fourth straight year after putting away the Jets in a wild-card game.
PHI+5 Over/Under 49
@ NOS -5
As winners of the NFC East in five of the past six season, the Eagles are no strangers to the playoffs. No so for the Saints, who are in the postseason for the first time since 2000. Even their head coach is a rookie, but Sean Payton has been largely credited for the Saints' turnaround from a 3-13 record in 2005, earning him Coach of the Year honors. The Eagles come to New Orleans after dispatching the Giants in the wild-card round with a last-second David Akers kick. Philly was the victim of a game-winning kick when the Saints knocked off the Eagles in Week 6.
Haven't really finished looking at all the matchups yet but right now I'd take Baltimore -4
Might have to put a few extra bucks on it this week since I cashed in last night with Florida +7

Its funny to see some of your thoughts on this. Bears will win but by 9.5, dont know. So betting spread I would bet seachickens but I would bet the over too.
Charges may win but New England will be close to that one. I again would bet that one too on New England with the chargers not covering.
NOw the Ravens are gonna win straight up I htink. Time will tell.

Vegas, I have to disagree, I think the saints are hungry for a win and with the leadership of Sean Payton and with a healthy team ready to play, we have a much better chance than people will give us. Win, lose or draw I'm proud of what the saints and their new head coach has accomplished, even though you and many others refer to him as "a rookie". I hope your predictions are wrong and Dem Saints go all Da way !!![sm=happy046.gif]

I agree, I think it will be the Pats and Colts in the AFC Championship game. The Philly game will be interesting.
