Anyone want to take a crack at the lines for the WC games? (1 Viewer)

Without really thinking about it, I'll say :

Colts favored by 7.5 in San Diego

Baltimore favored by 6.5 in Miami

Minnesota favored by 2.5 at home v. Philly

Arizona favored by 3.5 at home v. Atlanta

Just wild guesses, I'm not any good at this.

Colts -1.5

good question, EG (think i'll pop a chimay grande reserve )...since the colts are on the road, i expect the line to be less than 7... you could be right, if the line is too low bettors will flood to the colts & they need to balance the books... maybe something like 5.5-6.5?with a rookie QB on the road, i think 6.5 is too much for BAL... maybe something like 4 will attract enough action on MIA to even things out...i expect PHI (edited here, meant to say eagles) to be favored, by something like 3...i would favor ATL by about a FG (if not slightly more), but home field is worth i think about 3 pts, so this is almost a push & should be one of the more interesting lines for me... personally, i don't think ARI defense matches up well with michael turner...* also interesting to me in jan, weather may not play a factor, with three games in so cal, ARI & FL, & the other in a dome...

with a rookie QB on the road, i think 6.5 is too much for BAL... maybe something like 4 will attract enough action on MIA to even things out...

i expect PHI (edited here, meant to say eagles) to be favored, by something like 3...

i would favor ATL by about a FG (if not slightly more), but home field is worth i think about 3 pts, so this is almost a push & should be one of the more interesting lines for me... personally, i don't think ARI defense matches up well with michael turner...

Mmmmmmm. Chimay (drooling sound)I personally think Philly will beat Minnesota, but I'm surprised to see so many people think they'll be a 3 point fave on the road.. they're just so inconsistent. I do believe Philly by 3 is a more accurate line myself, though.. just trying to figure what the books will do.

I'd hate to bet on the Colts. Tony Dungy had that one amazing run in 2006, but outside of that, his teams have been horrible in the playoffs. Dungy lays an egg a lot. Dungy had a big reputation as a choker and then 2006 supposedly removed that tag, but then the very next year in 2007 they go 13-3 and promptly drop their first playoff game to the Chargers at home, something no-one saw coming. Maybe more should have because Dungy loses a lot in postseason. Actually the Chargers are sitting pretty good right now. They've got Dungy coming in. I'd pick the Chargers there. Then they'd possibly face a Steeler team with Roethlisberger in some unknown condition. Not to mention the Chargers are really a hot team. We might find them in the AFC title game and then who knows maybe the Titans don't make it.

I'm not surprised that all 4 road teams are favored - the only home team I thought had a chance to be the favorite is the Vikings. It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see all 4 road teams win.

Wow, looking at all 4 games, I think it is possible that all 4 road teams could be favored.

ATL, definitelyIND, not so sureBAL, probablyPHI, not so sureIt could happen though.

I could be way off, but I have it:ATL - 4.5O/U 47.5PHI -2O/U 43BAL -2O/U 39INDY -2.5O/U 48.5

All pretty close.
