NFL Playoffs – These Lines Suck
I was all fired up yesterday to bet on Arizona +7 @ New Orleans for this weekend as I hate all of the other games/lines, but then I had to go and read this:
The Cardinals scored touchdowns on 70.4 percent of their trips inside the opponents’ 20-yard line.
No offense fared better….
The Cardinals’ divisional-round opponent, New Orleans, ranks second in red zone touchdown percentage. The Saints allowed touchdowns on 39.3 percent of red zone possessions, compared to 60.9 percent for the Packers.
Neither defense is going to be able to stop the other team, so this game’s going to come down to red-zone efficiency. The over/under is 57 points. How all this relates to +/- 7 points I have no idea.
No NFL action outside of the picks contest for me this weekend.
