I'm 5-1 so far in the playoffs, and I'm looking to keep the nice run alive. Unfortunately I don't see a ton of great plays this weekend, but I do have one that I think has a great chance of hitting. Aside from that I have a couple of strong leans, but they aren't quite strong enough for me to make plays. Here is what I see this weekend:
A lot of people continue to doubt the Cardinals, but I'm not one of them. To be totally honest, despite winning their first two games the Eagles have not impressed me at all, they've basically been handed both games. Westbrook being banged up won't help their cause, so the question becomes if their defense can make some plays and contain Warner and the explosive Arizona passing attack. Although Warner seems long overdue for a game with tons of turnovers, I don't think this will be it, he takes care of the ball better at home than on the road (8 turnovers to 13).
I think Arizona +3.5 is the way to go here, so I'm making that my lone official play of the week. As far as the total goes, I'm strongly leaning towards the under but can't quite bring myself to make it a play.
Although 6 points seems like a lot to be giving the Ravens, I don't feel nearly confident enough that they'll be able to cover this. Their defense is banged up and Pittsburgh is still relatively fresh and will force some turnovers. I think Pitt takes care of the ball better, and has an easier time of moving the ball than the Ravens will. I lean Pittsburgh -6 here, with a lean towards under 34 as well.Good luck this weekend!
