2013 NFL Playoffs

Congrats to every Ravens futures bettor out there! But betting money lines would’ve profited more

February 4, 2013

Before the NFL playoffs began, we identified the Baltimore Ravens as a great sleeper pick to win Super Bowl XLVII.

The good news? Luck was on our side and the pick came through (hopefully for some of you, too). The bad news? You could have won much more money by simply betting the Ravens on the money line each game along the way.

Against the Odds: Why the Baltimore Ravens’ Super Bowl run is the most improbable of the last 35 years

January 21, 2013

The Baltimore Ravens are the first team ever (or, at least, since 1989) to win back-to-back playoff games as more than touchdown underdogs.

Falcons LB: ‘I don’t think me or anybody in this locker room has a problem with playing the underdog role’

January 19, 2013

You always hear about NFL teams embracing the “nobody believes in us” factor this time of year, and it’s clear the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons have done just that.

Do the numbers add up? An in-depth look at how overreaction inflated the 49ers-Falcons point spread

January 16, 2013

The Atlanta Falcons are catching more points in a conference championship game than any No. 1 seed in known point spread history, but are we forgetting the fact that they’re, ya know, a pretty good team in the Georgia Dome?

Read on for a look at how overreaction to last week’s results might have inflated the 49ers-Falcons point spread.

Before playoffs, odds of an All-Harbaugh Super Bowl were 31/1; Now? They’re at 5/1, meaning 17% chance

January 15, 2013

The Harbaugh Bowl needs to happen.

And the odds of it occurring—after opening at +3100 before the playoffs started—are now down to just +500 at Bovada.

NFL Conference Championship lines: In rematch of last year’s AFC title game, Pats open -9 vs. Ravens

January 14, 2013

The “Flacco Fling,” as it’s now being called, kept the Baltimore Ravens’ season alive and set them up for an opportunity to play in a second straight AFC championship game.

Now that they’re there, they’ll have to go through a familiar opponent if they hope to advance to their first Super Bowl since winning the Lombardi Trophy back in 2000. And it won’t be easy.

Seahawks-Falcons Betting Preview: Seattle’s better on the road, but can they break the 1 p.m. ET curse?

January 13, 2013

Is that a yawn or a scream in the photo above? The Seahawks better hope it’s the latter.

It’s been a long-held gambling theory to fade West Coast teams in 1 p.m. ET games, and that will come into play today when Seattle travels to Atlanta as 3-point underdogs.

NFL Divisional Round lines: Ravens-Broncos and Texans-Patriots spreads both near double digits

January 7, 2013

We knew the AFC was perceived to be a two-horse race heading into the playoffs, and now we have our first clear evidence. The spreads are very, very high in the divisional round.

Dr. James Andrews is worried about RG3′s knee: ‘He’s still recovering and I’m holding my breath’

January 6, 2013

Dr. James Andrews is not confident in the health of Redskins rookie Robert Griffin III.

And going up against the Seattle Seahawks, one of the league’s most ferocious and attacking defenses, in the Wild Card round as (currently) 3-point home underdogs, Andrews’ assessment has to have us at least a little concerned about plopping any money down on RG3 and the Redskins.
