Saints Travel to Niners – Packers Welcome Giants – NFL Divisional Playoffs
The NFC Divisional Playoffs kick off this weekend with some interesting matchups with potential upsets on the horizon.
The New Orleans Saints (13-3) travel to Candlestick Park to take on the surprising San Francisco 49ers (13-3) Saturday January 14 and this game could bring unexpected results. The Saints are full speed ahead but a week long layoff and a weak offense could do them in.
The other NFC Division Playoff is just as interesting with the defending Super Bowl champs, the Green Bay Packers (15-1), playing host to the New York Giants (9-7). The Giants are a scary team for the Packers to face. The G-Men have a history of knocking out great teams out of the Super Bowl tournament.
The Saints are favored by 3 points on the posted Pointspread as the visitor and that number looks perfect. The Niners are solid defensively but the offense leaves much to be desired. The money is landing large on the Saints with 66% of the bettors hammering the Saints.
The Packers are a huge 9 point favorite over the New York Giants and that number looks beatable with the Packers weak defense on display. The Packers have given up more passing yards than any other team this year and the Giants are bringing an explosive offense to Lambeau Field. The money is flooding in on the Giants at a rate of 67% as bettors look for value on this game.
The Total on the Niners game is 47 points and the money is leaning slightly towards the Over with 55% of the bettors slamming the over. The Total on the Packers and Giants game is a big number at 51 points. The money is overwhelmingly on the Over with 76% of the money landing solidly Over with a big number in play.
The Moneyline is another aspect to watch this weekend. The 49ers are a +160 dog at home and the public is hammering them at a rate of 71%. The Giants are an even better Moneyline dog at +350. Many experts already feel the Giants have the edge going into this game.
