Why do people fall for the "Wild Card" teams will (1 Viewer)

Yesterday cost me my most of my winnings from the previous week.Mostly because the Pats/Titans game was 17-14 instead of the 20-17/24-14 game I thought it'd be. Yeah - it was the dang T/P O/U that killed me - hopefully I'll get it back today. In all fairness to JayWoo, while he DID bring up the point about the NFC home team v. the spread, it was for illustration regarding the home teams, not advice on the bets to make. I thought the NFC home teams would win, tioo - but I thought all the dog bets looked good - and they were.I went mostly with the homers today, though - and a "hedge" that included a parlay on the Pack "team of destiny." If the Chiefs game doesn't go the way I thought it would, I lose all my winnings, but break even. If that game goes as I think it will - high scoring, Chiefs winning - I will win some nice money again this weekend. The dogs today look good, too - not necessarily to win, but teasing both dogs (Indy +9, Pack +11) looks like a very safe bet. I still think both KC and Philly win their games outright, which would hold true to the home teams winning the Divisional round games.:( well if it's any consolation my pocket is A LOT lighter than $40.Leave it to THIS year for the trend to break down.

I take one fav, and see what happens?I'll take the dogs except for Carolina ATS this weekend. And on Sunday night, I'll be here telling Wood he was right.
Hope Philly wins w/a FG or GB wins to go 3-1 this weekend. WIth the only loss probably the only one I bet the same as Wood. 
So all 4 underdogs covered the spread or won outright. I told ya, it just "feels" different this year, the beneficial aspect of playing at home is outweighed by the drawbacks in the matchups.From my initial thoughts on next weeks games... Indy matches up pretty good against NE and Carolina DEFINATELY matches up well against Philly. Depending on the health status of stephen davis and the line that is given to the visitors, I'd almost call it a lock that both cover or win outright next week.... it's been a weird playoff!

Well, just goes to show you that Trends are Trends until They're NotNo question about it, I'll eat plenty of crow here, I didn't see things playing out this way. Even the Colts, who'd I mentioned as the one upset I could see happening, I didn't end up playing that way. But I can tell you this. I'll go 0-4 on Divisional Weekend each and every year if the fates allow my Birds to pull off a victory the way they did last night in exchange!
Cheers
Went two and two and won a little small change. Was really hoping for a TD in the last drive of the Philly game, that would have been sweet. Once I knew Vincent was out, laid less money on the birds. IMHO this week was the last time I can remember the divisionals being so exciting.
