DIVISIONAL PLAYOFF PICKS/RESULTS

Only the Unified Fund...or I guess real gambling...could have made the ending of the Bears-Seahawks game fun to watch. FLAT OUT MIRACLE cover for those of you who teased the Seahawks +16. Ridiculous. Carney jumps back into the lead...though the miracle got Strait a win, he actually would have been better off if the MIRACLE cover didn't happen. Those who had the Seahawks +10, however, were left in the fetal position, needing 1 more measley point for a cover.

The Patriots awful performance badly hurt many promising parlays/teasers; and therefore turned many contenders into pretenders.

We also bid farewell to our first contestant of the year - Mr. Carothers, you will be missed.

WILD CARD PLAYOFF LINES

Now it gets serious. A few rule changes for the playoffs:

1. Minimum bet is now only 1 bet per week (minimum of $50). Penalty for not betting is $500 per week.
2. All Saturday picks are due before first game on Saturday; all Sunday picks are due before first game on Sunday.
3. You can now bet up to 3 parlays per week.
4. Maximum bets per week remains at 8 bets.

With that, here are your lines:

POINTSPREADS
Saints (-10.5) @ Seahawks
Jets @ Colts (-2.5)
Ravens (-3) @ Chiefs
Packers @ Eagles (-2.5)

MONEYLINES
Saints (-600) @ Seahawks (+450)
Jets (+115) @ Colts (-135)
Ravens (-170) @ Chiefs (+150)
Packers (+120) @ Eagles (-140)

TOTALS
Saints-Seahawks o/u 44.5 total pts
Jets-Colts o/u 44.5 total pts
Ravens-Colts o/u 40.5 total pts
Packers-Eagles o/u 46.5 total pts


PARLAY OPTIONS
Moneylines are not available for parlay betting.
2 bets (Payout 3:1)
3 bets (Payout 7:1)
4 bets (Payout 11:1)
5 bets (Payout 25:1)

TEASER OPTIONS
Pointspread bets and Totals (full game only) are the only bets available for teaser betting.
2 team, 6-point teaser (payout 1:1)
3 team, 6-point teaser (payout 2:1)
4 team, 6-point teaser (payout 3:1)

Example of a teaser is as follows:
Let's say you wish to parlay bet on 3 teams: Jets +2.5, Ravens +3, and Ravens-Pats UNDER 43 pts. Adding a 6-point teaser to it would mean you can add 6 points to each of your bets, giving you a better chance of winning for a lesser payout possibility. (In our case, 7:1 payout for a 3 teamer would drop to 2:1.) So, your adjusted lines would look like this:
Jets +8.5
Ravens +9
Ravens-Pats UNDER 49


PLAYER PROPS
R. Bush (NO) o/u 80.5 rush + rec yds
L. Moore (NO) o/u 10.5 yds on 1st reception (Under wins if no receptions)
M. Lynch (SEA) o/u 50.5 rush yds
M. Williams (SEA) o/u 4.5 receptions
M. Sanchez (NYJ) - What will he throw first? TD/INT
B. Edwards (NYJ) o/u 54.5 rec yds
P. Manning (IND) o/u 278.5 pass yds
J. Addai (IND) o/u 50.5 rush yds
J. Flacco (BAL) o/u 18.5 completions
R. Rice (BAL) o/u 30.5 rec yds
M. Cassel (KC) o/u 207.5 pass yds
J. Charles (KC) o/u 72.5 rush yds
