Wild Card Weekend - Day 1 Reflections

A few quick points

1. The Bengals at the Texans was a good game until Cincy decide to implode starting in the last 2 minutes of the first half.  With 1 time out and a rookie QB the smart play must be to run the clock out to half time and go in level. But with the way Lewis used his challenges the smart play was always likely to be the outsider.  Houston's victory guaranteed at least 1 of my Superbowl picks making the AFC championship game.

2.  Unders in the end didn't fare too well in the New Orleans v Detriot game  despite trading at 1.4 into the 2nd half. New Orleans continue to be a shocking price to win it all now being a top price 4/1 and generally shorter.

3. I'm surprised Baltimore are still available at 8/1 for the Superbowl, unless of course they would have been shorter if it was Pittsburgh visiting next week?  no i don't think so either.
