Analysis
The home team is the favorite in all of the wild card games. The computer has Seattle and New England just about in line with Vegas. The differences with Vegas: the books have both the Eagles and Colts just about 5 points above the computer. Enjoy the games!

Analysis
No surprises this week. The home team is favored in each game. Only minor difference with Vegas is the computer has Philly tighter with the Saints.

Analysis
The computer all of a sudden likes the Patriots chances, saying New England should sneak by the Colts in Indianapolis and even beat the Bears in the Super Bowl. All of a sudden, Vegas doesn't like the Bears anymore. And, usually our computer is soft on the Bears-- not the case this week. Good Luck.
