We’re down to the final 4 in the NFL tournament with 3 teams that were highly ranked all year and one mediocre regular season team who received a Christmas gift to get in but has taken full advantage of their good fortune…. On to the picks to see who will be in this year’s superbowl game…. I am not associated with NSAWins.com.
Last Week 2-2 (50%)
Season 66-73-1 (48%)
Indianapolis minus 7.5 – Don’t be fooled by NY’s run thus far, yes they’ve played good defense but they’ve had some luck too… Folks will say the Jets played Indy close in the “rest–gate” game before they pulled the starters, but I say they had nothing to play for before they sent in the scrubs… Will they make Indy work to score, sure…. but Indy’s defense is much better than San Diego’s and will shut down their run game like they did to Baltimore. Revis is as good as advertised, but Manning will take what NY gives him and he’ll put up enough points…
NewYork/Indianapolis – Under 39 – I think most of the points will be Indy’s and they probably won’t score in the 30’s….
New Orleans minus 3.5 – It is a major advantage to be the home team in a dome. While Minnesota looked awesome last week, it will be their offensive line that will be at a disadvantage this week having to use silent counts… Let’s see how the Vikings deal with the crowd noise and an explosive New Orleans offense… The Vikings only shot is if they can pressure Brees like Dallas did a few weeks ago. It is New Orleans’ year and I’m betting they find a way to neutralize the pass rush and put themselves in the big game against the Colts…
New Orleans/Minnesota Over 53 – Both teams have too much firepower to have this game be a defensive struggle…
