Conference Championships

Hedgie Sees points in this game and although vegas set a high line Denver's Offensive weapons are all healthy and create major matchup issues.  With both defenses ailing this game should fly OVER the total.  The Patriots may have a strong running game but will be forced to throw if behind and wil most likely utilize it's no huddle offense to combat the away crowd

Hedgie likes:  OVER 56.5  3 stars

Teaser:Denver +1.5 & Over 50 1 star

1st TD : Julius Thomas  8/1

Hedgie thinks Russ Wilson will once again prove slippery and play a good game.  Doug Baldwin is a matchup problem for the Niners with Carlos Rogers most likely trying to cover him as a nickel back coming off a hamstring problem.  Most think this game will be low scoring and Vegas has set it at 39.  But Hedgie expects a couple new wrinkles and  1-2 explosive plays  :

NFL Playoffs SUNDAY PLAY LISTED AS WELL...

In December the Seahawks destroyed the Saints and embarrassed them jumping out to a 17-0 lead. One of the keys to that game was KJ Wright (Seahawks LB)  who did an awesome job covering Graham.  This matchup is different...KJ Wright is out of this game after undergoing foot surgery  and the Saints are playing better in general  with confidence and a more established run game.    All the money is in on the Seahawks and the line has jumped from -7.5  to .9.5 and -10 in some spots.... Hedgie sees Jimmy Graham making a couple big leaping plays to keep this game close... It's supposed to be rainy and an under play is a lean as well....with these current lines the hedgie will buy the hook and take  :

SAINTS +10      3 stars

AND....TEASER:   SAINTS +15  & UNDER 50.5  1 star

Late 1 star Teaser:  Pats -1  & UNDER 57  

SUNDAY:    Panthers / NINERS  OVER 41.5   3 stars

also leaning Panthers....so if catch +1.5 or better  try a teaser vs Broncos  for 1-2 stars...Panthers +7.5 & Broncos -2.5  2 stars

NCAA final

Auburn +11 2 stars

And how bout a value nibble  on Auburn +325
  ( moneyline) to win outright ...

NFL Wildcard UPDATE (sunday)

Teaser : Colts +7.5  & over 41   2 stars

(late game post at 7 pm)



Another Teaser:   Saints +9  &  UNDER 61.5   2 stars

   vegas has an already high total on this game but in the cold weather outdoors on grass  the  saints will need to run the ball with Ingram and keep the Eags offesne off the field.  The Eagles in the meantime have a sneaky run game averaging 160 yards per game.     Might catch late extra value with the shootout in Indy with bettors sticking with the 'over ' theme.   The line has crept up from  54  to 55.5  in some spots already....
   Hedgie Predicts:   Saints   27     Eagles 24 


Bengals/Chargers  - hedgie is passing....sharp money is on the  chargers +7  but hedgie just doesnt see it here...so passing.....will post later today on the late game....
