January 11, 2014 Sports Picks

Big day in the NFL today.  Here are my plays:

Seahawks / Patriots Parlay $1,000 to win $520
- Seattle at home is usually the play.  They were 7-1 at home during the regular season and are coming off a bye.  New Orleans is so much better at home and they were only 3-5 on the road.  With the crowd noise Brees will have a lot of trouble in this one.  New Orleans relies on their passing game and Seattle is the best against the pass.  New England is also very good at home where they went 8-0 during the regular season.  Brady is a big time QB and rises up in the playoffs.  Indianapolis doesn't scare me in this one.  They played a very good offensive game last week but the Chiefs had a lot of injuries on defense.  Indy doesn't play as well outdoors on the road against good teams. 

Seahawks vs. Saints over 43.5 $165 to win $150
- Both Seattle and New Orleans can put up points.  Seattle averaged 28 points and New Orleans averaged 26 points per game.  I'm not betting too big on this game because both teams have good defenses against the pass. 

Patriots -1.5 / Under 57.5 6 pt teaser $120 to win $100
- New England is 8-0 at home and they had a week off to rest.  They should win the game pretty easily.  I'm taking the under because New England only gives up an average of 21.8 points per game and Indy is at 22.8.  There's higher winds and rain in Boston tonight so both teams may try to establish the run.
