Default playoff lines

Dvisional Round playoff line

Titans -3
Panthers -9.5
NY Giants-4
Pitt -6

The lack of respect given to the home teams is interesting to say the least considering the history of this round.

I see Carolina as a good play, my feelings on the Giants impending doom are documented, Baltimore is hard to bet against and I guess Pitt should cover against SD. Where specifically do you see a lack of respect?

The titans get a week off, are conference champs and get vandenbosch and haynesworth back. Regardless of what happened in baltimore in the regular season, i figured tenn to be favored by a higher number.

SD only getting 6 at Pitt? Again, why shouldnt Pitt be at least a touchdown against a team that finished 8-8 with no thomlinson? Especially a west coast team travelling east into likely inclement weather.

I would think Zona should be getting double digits. At 9.5, thats a gift. Carolina should win by a 1000.

The other game is a rivalry game so the number makes sense.

#1 The titans aren't exactly offensive juggernauts and the Ravens D has been awesome.

#2 The Bolts have won 5 in a row. Plus they are playing at team that doesn't generate a ton pf points either, not to mention that their QB was taken of on a cart 2 weeks ago.

#3 9 1/2 is a lot of wood for a playoff game. I understand your feelings about Carolina pounding them and I'm leaning that way too. But Arizona can put a lot of points on the board and they could do it quickly. I don't think it's that far off. I do think that either the Cards win outright or they lose by 30.

Ravens look the best to spring the upset....wouldn't touch the Giants / Eagles game with your money.
Panthers & Steelers should have no problem.

The way Kerry Collins has looked against the Ravens D over the years ... I'd expect about a 10-6 final score with Fisher running the ball a lot on obvious passing downs.
