Bettors Like The NFC Dogs
By SPORTSBETTING.COM
The AFC matchups might be grabbing more of the attention this weekend, as the two favorites to win the Super Bowl (Indianapolis +450 and New England ?150) host games, but two of the traditional ?public? favorites take to the field on the NFC side in the Divisional Playoff round.
Dallas and Green Bay slot in right behind New England and Indy in terms of odds to win the Super Bowl. SPORTSBETTING.COM has the Cowboys listed at +700 and the Packers at +800 to win it all. But despite the odds, despite being big favorites in their matchups this weekend and despite these two teams being ?public? teams, bettors are shying away.
Let?s have a closer look at the NFC matchups in this round of the playoffs.
Saturday, January 12, 2008
Seattle at Green Bay
The Packers were tied with the Cowboys for an NFC best 13-3 regular season record; Brett Favre experienced a bit of a renaissance this season (4,155 pass yards, 28 TDs and 95.7 QB rating); the team earned a bye week; they are favored by 8-points and they are very profitable 12-3-1 against the spread, so bettors are lining up to back them this week of course, right? No so fast.
While Favre has had a good season overall, he did really stink it up in all three of Green Bay?s SU and ATS losses throwing for 1 TD and 6 INTs.
Also, the Seahawks took 7 of their last 9 games (including playoffs) straight up and ATS.
It appears bettors aren?t comfortable laying the big points with this Packer team, as they aren?t that much better, when breaking this game down, than the visiting Seattle squad. A majority of SPORTSBETTING.COM players are on the visitor, as 65% of the action is going in Seattle?s direction.

New York Giants at Dallas
Samson had Delilah, Lennon had Yoko and apparently Romo has Jessica.
When Jessica Simpson was in the stands for a Dallas Cowboys game against Philadelphia in mid-December, the Cowboys dropped the cash, failing to cover the 10-point Vegas spread in a 10-6 loss and QB Tony Romo had one of the worst outings of his career throwing for 0 TDs, 3 picks and a 22.2 QB rating.
Simpson will be skipping this week?s game against the Giants, where Dallas is listed as a 7?-point favorite, to avoid putting the hex on her man again, although the two spent the bye week together in Mexico.
Regardless, Romo has struggled down the stretch as Dallas has failed to pay out in its last four games going 0-4 ATS to close the season.
Although still early in his career, Romo hasn?t fared well in the postseason either.
The Cowboys were able to cover as 2?-point underdogs in Seattle last year but Romo threw for under 200 yards, only 1 TD and he bobbled a snap on a potential game winning field goal.
Although team?s can conceivably cover despite a poor performance from its QB, the Cowboys stand a better chance of cashing in at -7? with Romo firing on all cylinders.
The betting public doesn?t seem sold on the Cowboys either as SPORTSBETTING.COM is seeing 55% of the action going in New York?s direction.
Numbers of Note:
Seahawks at Packers
- Seattle comes into this game with Green Bay having a mark of 6-13-1 ATS in their last 20 road games.
- Green Bay has a record of 6-1 ATS they last seven times they?ve been a favorite.
- Overall, the Packers have put together an impressive mark of 13-3-1 ATS in their last 17 games starts.

- The Giants boats a record of 5-0 ATS in their last five road starts.
- New York has a mark of 4-1 ATS the last five times they have been an underdog in the playoffs.
