Road Warriors in Wild Card Week
Posted by Ology Staff , Dec, 2008 @ 10:45 am
As has been duly pointed out at Fifth Down and Shutdown Corner, there is something odd about Vegas’s line for the first round of the NFL playoffs.
| When | Favorite | Spread | Underdog |
| Saturday, 4:30 | Atlanta | -2 | ARIZONA |
| Saturday, 8:00 | Indianapolis | -1½ | SAN DIEGO |
| Sunday, 1:00 | Baltimore | -3 | MIAMI |
| Sunday, 4:30 | Philadelphia | -3 | MINNESOTA |
All the home teams (in CAPS) are underdogs. Despite the rarity (only one of eight road teams in the last two Wildcard rounds was favored to win), these lines make a good deal of sense. Though, just for grins, I’d take San Diego and Miami.
