Default What Home Dogs Win Wild Card Week?

Atlanta, Baltimore, and Philadelphia all seem really easy...

Everyone seems to be on them... all 3 aren't giving up many points either.

It can't be this easy can it? What home dog(s) surprise the public this week?

I can make a case for all 3, but not a strong one yet.

Min.. phi does not do well on the road.. and possible SD.. they always keep it close.. but i would be ALOT happier with a +3.5

and for the phi fans, I am not a hater.. lol.. this is only a bet and not a personal attack on you. please don't cuss me out.

Anyone know the record of home teams in wild card games?


For some reason I thought it was hitting at over 70% the past ten years.

Road favorites are bad bets in the playoffs in general (7-17 ATS for playoff road favorites or picks since 1980).

I love SD tonight! leaning w/ Airizona and Minny.

I think Baltimore is the only team that wins on the road. Defense wins Championships and you have to be able to run to win in the playoffs. Baltimore has both! I believe Baltimore has a chance to go deep. Miami plays in a soft division and had a weak schedule this season.
