Articles
Saturday, the Washington
Redskins go to Seattle to face the Seahawks
at 4:30pm EST. Then at 8:00pm
EST, the Pittsburgh Steelers
hosts the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Redskins made a remarkable run to get here
following a 5-7 SU (straight up) start. Washington
finished the regular season by winning four straight
games and they covered the spread in all of them.
Washington's last three victories have been by
double digits as they enter the playoffs as the
NFC's hottest club at 9-7 and 7-7-2 ATS (against
the spread).
In last week's season finale, which was a must
win situation for the Redskins, Washington allowed
an amazing one yard rushing en rout to a 27-6
victory over the archrival Dallas Cowboys. The
Redskins are 4-1-2 ATS in their last seven games
following a SU win of more than 14 points.
Overall, the Redskins are allowing 19.4 points
per game and 305.3 yards defensively.
36-year-old quarterback Todd Collins went 22-for-31
for 244 yards and one touchdown in the money-making
win as the 9-point favorites and is 67-for-105
for 888 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions
since relieving starter Jason Campbell, who went
down on Dec. 6 with a dislocated a kneecap.
Clinton Portis ran for two touchdowns and had
104 yards on 25 carries and 27 yards on four
receptions, setting a career high for yards receiving
in a season (389). His yards from scrimmage in
the four-game winning streak: 122, 126, 124 and
131. Santana Moss caught eight passes for 115
yards and a touchdown.
Washington is scoring 20.9 points per game and
putting up 333.4 yards on offense as a group.
They are 6-2 ATS in their last eight games in
played in January and 4-0 ATS in their last 4
vs. NFC.
This great wild-card contest will be a rematch
of a 2005 division playoff won 20-10 by the Seahawks,
who finished the regular season at 10-6 SU and
9-7 ATS.
Offensively, Seattle is posting 24.6 points
per game and 348.9 yards behind a defense that's
giving up 18.2 points and 321.8 yards. The Seahawks
are 5-0 ATS in their last five home games and
6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall.
This will be a great NFC battle with both teams
attempting to advance. NFL odds list Seattle
the early 3-point favorites with a game total
of 40. The Seahawks are 6-2 ATS in their last
eight games as a favorite, meanwhile, the Redskins
are 5-1 ATS in their last six games as an underdog
of 3.5-10.0 points.
Sunday, Eli
Manning and company invades Tampa Bay at 1:00pm
EST, when the New York Giants and
Buccaneers face off. When these two hook up it's
a tightly played game featuring solid defense.
The under is 5-0 in the last five meetings.
The Giants are 4-0 ATS in their last four road
games and a profitable 4-1 ATS in their last
five overall. They produced a regular season
record of 10-6 SU and ATS. The Buccaneers enter
this game staggering after losing three of its
last four games SU and ATS. They are 9-7 SU and
ATS on the year.
This will be a hard fought battle to be followed
by the matchup between the hosting San
Diego Chargers (11-5 SU and ATS) and Tennessee
Titans (10-6 SU, 8-8 ATS) that begins at 4:30pm EST.
San Diego enters this AFC contest riding a six
game win streak and has covered the spread in
all of them during that span.
Postseason play always raises the bar in intensity
and football wagering excitement. Be sure to
checkout all the odds on these four magnificent
wild-card games and don't forget about the props
available for them all. If you miss the kickoff
