Saturday NFL playoffs


Take Under 47.5 in New Orleans Saints @ San Francisco 49ers
 For the 49ers to win this game, they need to keep the Saints in the low- to mid-20s and I believe that is what will occur Saturday afternoon in San Francisco. I believe that the Saints are unbeatable inside the Superdome, but they are a completely different when playing on the road. They average around 10 points less per game when playing on the road and that will set up a strong play with the under for this game. San Francisco is a team that likes to run the football and play outstanding defense. I do not expect them to put it in the air much, since they still do not have a great deal of confidence in QB Alex Smith. Take the under in this game and do not worry if New Orleans can cover the number as a road favorite.

Take 'Under' 51.5 Denver vs. New England (8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 14)
 

These two teams hook up in what should be a great game. Given that the last time these two teams met the final score was 41-23, don't expect the same offensive result here. For starters, the Patriots do not want to get embarrassed once again in the playoffs like they did last year and this defense will have a big role to fill. Combine that with the fact that the Broncos are not going to give up double-digits in points due to botched special teas as that would be something that this team undoubtedly works on this time around. Plus, if the Broncos are to have a chance in this game I'd suspect it would be through their defense and their front line rather than through Tim Tebow. The Broncos are a much different team in offensive prowess on the road as compared to at home. Look for this game to play differently than the first game between these two teams as this game likely goes under the posted total.
·         New Orleans at San Francisco (Over/Under)Under +47.0
·         Denver at New England (Over/Under)Under +51.
·         Bet Price:3.64
