The Conference Championships... SuperBowl Here We Come

So unlike the college bowl season, the NFL playoffs have been quite friendly to good ol' Morts. 4-0 last week for a combined 7-1 has had this guy laughing all the way to the proline booth. Don't worry Bowmans, i'm not going to forget about you... I have also laughed while clicking away on your site.

This is also usually the time where i start to get frivolous and as good ol' Jay Bizzle puts it "hate my money". So i'm trying to be a little more conservative this week.

ENTER THE TEASER:

Before i dive right into all of this, let me just say that i am aware of all the history between the Steelers and the Ravens, and that in the history of the NFL (since the merger) no team has beaten another team three times in one year, and that the Eagles are the Giants of last year, and all the other nonsense that goes into sports writers justifying their jobs. I get it. But both of these lines are trap bets.

Philadelphia -4.0 (-3.5 proline)
Pittsburgh -6.0 (-6.5 proline)

SERIOUSLY???

This is how you want to play on Championship Sunday. Fine.

Tease it.

Philadelphia -2.5


Pittsburgh -3.0

Those are my lines. Those are my bets.

But wait... There's more.

Since proline doesn't give you the opportunity to tease your lines you gotta get crafty. Scrap the spread bets (as you can really only get 2:1 this week anyways) and check out the actual proline board.

PHI @ ARZ: tie(+210/3.10)
PHI @ ARZ: over 47.5(-140/1.60)



BAL @ PIT: tie(+250/3.50)
BAL @ PIT: under 33.5(-140/1.60)



... or maybe you wanna check out some of the ProPicks/Props:

Philadelphia @ Arizona:

Westbrook - under 72.5 yards rushing
Jackson - over 4.5 receptions
Total Fumbles Lost - over 1.5
Longest Pass - over 50.5 yards
Longest Rush - over 20.5 yards


Baltimore @ Pittsburgh:


Roethlisberger - over 17.5 completions
Parker - under 74.5 yards rushing
Total Fumbles Lost - over 1.5
Total Sacks - over 4.5
Longest Pass Completes - over 42.5 yards
Longest Rush - over 18.5 yards
Longest Field Goal Made - under 44.5 yards
***shit you can't even do seven games... fuck it, just take any six.

Also, apparently this site isn't a big fan of me using the NFL team logos in my posts, hence the player photos this week. Enjoy
