AFC + NFC Championship Game Picks
As you can see by this (winning) teaser bet, I liked Denver +3.5 and the Under, as well as Carolina -3.5 and the Over. All four picks hit! I shouldn't have / didn't need to do the tease!
(SIDEBAR: Yes, I didn't post this before the games. Correct, that doesn't matter because no one reads this blog anyway. Carry on)
My annual, always thrilling, Super Bowl props post WILL be out most likely Saturday night before SB50, so check back for that. It's super popular in the world inside my head. (See last season's here)
As far as the games today, I am extremely happy Denver took down New England. I thought they had a very good shot going in, more than most people did. They had only let up more than 20 points one time over their last 8 games. Their D is legit excellent.
In the second game, my heart was with AZ but I loved the Panthers as the pick.
Denver-Carolina feels like a weird one, but there's a "changing of the guard" angle that is kinda neat, and––most importantly––no Pats :-)

You could have teased all four divisional NFL games in either direction and won
If you follow this blog closely––and really, why wouldn't you?––you saw I posted a winning 4-game teaser before this past weekend's game. The thing about it, though, is this: you could have teased any of the 8 teams and you would've won. On top of that, you could have teased the over-under in either direction and also won in every game except Seahawks @ Carolina. This is pretty geeky sports betting stuff, but I thought it was worth noting. I found this cool image on the left my googling "NFL teaser." FYI. In other news, I do plan on posting bets and more sports things in general on this blog, so watch out!

NFL Round 2 Picks
Here's a bonus teaser. I like the points in every game but Carolina (-2): KC (+5), GB (+7) and PIT (+7). Be careful out there, kids. (BONUS: I also like Monmouth ML +105 at Iona tonight in college hoops! Go Hawks!)
