Okay, this is a good weekend to either consult tea leaves or go with a handicapper. Why? Well, the point spread for the Chargers-Patriots game is large\u00e2\u20ac\u201dat most betting sites it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 14 points but a few books have it at 3.5? Hmmmm. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m confused.<\/p>\n
The over\/under is 46.5. That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a big O\/U. The Sunday weather at Pat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s stadium is very cold. The high will be around 25. Breezy but no snow.<\/p>\n
How will Randy Moss do, considering his legal problems? What about San Diego\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s injured running game? RB LaDainian Tomlinson is questionable.<\/p>\n
Moss\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 woes are less of a problem due to the fact that Tom Brady has a whole lot of targets, including Welker, Stallworth and Watson. New England also has a running game once again now that Laurence Moroney is definitely back.<\/p>\n
QB\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s are Brady for New England and Rivers for San Diego. The edge here is obviously to the Pats.<\/p>\n
The Giants visit the Packers for the NFC playoff game. The line has the Packers favored by about 8, while the O\/U is 39.5 points. The range is from 7 to 8 with some books offering 7.5. Also, there are some listing NY as the favorites at -3.5.<\/p>\n
It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s NFL icon Brett Farve versus the younger Manning, Eli. The Giants and Pack have both been on a roll of late. Green Bay\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Ryan Grant ran for over two hundred yards versus Seattle. If he has another big day, then New York will be in big trouble.<\/p>\n
If there are a lot of points scored in New England, then the Chargers are in trouble, while a large number of points in Green Bay is bad news for the Giants.<\/p>\n
Weather in both places will be cold, which favors both home teams.<\/p>\n
