Computer picks for NFL Divional playoff

[StarnetGypsy]

Talked w/Sarge tonite in Japan and he did some calculations on his computer.

Here's what it spit out ...

1) Bears win by 7, Seattle covers +8.5
2) Bolts win by 1, Pats cover +5
3) Saints lose by 3, Philly covers +5 (he's showing a 8/pt overlay)
4) Ravens win by 4, Colts Push +4

Now keep in mind his computer was only about 54% this season - had a really bad year. But when he does the playoffs (for himself) he only throws in stats from the most recent games instead of the entire season, so it shows a better reflection of how they're playing right now.

I think the saints are going to end Phillys ways.

Gice that Coach two weeks...he'll playbook you to death.

My lines for the weekend: Bears -10
SD -4 1/2
Saints -6
Ravens -4

1) Bears win by 7, Seattle covers +8.5 -- Way too early for anyone to be calling this one, Seattle's convalescence is the issue here...the line won't go much higher, so I'd grab Seattle and hope for DJAX and some CB's coming back. Of course, there's another issue here, do the Bears suck?

2) Bolts win by 1, Pats cover +5 -- This is a tough game to call. But I've gotta agree, you simply don't give the Pats more than 4 points, ever. And San Diego, they're solid, but not as good as advertised.

3) Saints lose by 3, Philly covers +5 (he's showing a 8/pt overlay) -- This is a game to be studied, hard. I agree that you simply grab the points now, you don't cross a key number til 7, so plenty of room to bail out if you decide you're wrong.

4) Ravens win by 4, Colts Push +4 -- The only way to go here is the chalk, Indy confounds, a lot like the Bears, whereas the Ravens beat everyone, like, 24-3. Billick is one of the few, if not only, head coach who can play chess at the same level as Belichick.
