I obviously have too much time on my hands but I found some interesting information that applies to this weekend's games. Hope you find it useful.
1. Quarterbacks making their first playoff start (Cam Newton) are 11-21-1 ATS and 11-22 SU. Those who were home underdogs, like Cam Newton are 2-4 ATS.
2. Games that are re-matches of earlier regular season games against non-divisional opponents, the winner of the regular season game is 25-41 ATS in the rematch. However if the game is played at the same site as the first game, the winner of the first game is 13-26 ATS in the rematch. This obviously applies to Seattle since they beat the Saints in Seattle. If the game is at a different site like it will be with Carolina and S.F. the winner of the first game is 12-15 ATS. One last fact, if the winner of the first matchup won by double digits as Seattle did against the Saints they are 9-17 ATS in the rematch.
3. Playoff teams coming off road wins in the round 1 of the wildcard games are 10-3 ATS in the divisional round since 2005. This stat applies to the Saints, Chargers and 49ers this week.
4. Seattle is 24-9 ATS as a home favorite since 2007.
5. This stat applies to Carolina, Seattle, Denver and New England. Playoff teams coming off a bye are just 16-24 ATS since 2003.
6. New England is 28-14 ATS in games played in December and January since 2000. However, Tom Brady is 17-7 SU in the playoffs but only 10-14 ATS.
7. Peyton Manning is only 4-11 ATS in playoff games against teams with good QBs, i.e. those not named Jake Plummer, Rex Grossman, etc. Rivers would be classified as a good QB.
