Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: NFC teams' playoff histories

Arizona (5-6)—Had one playoff win before Kurt Warner got to the desert; the future Hall of Famer came very close to getting them a Lombardi Trophy. Home team won eight of their ten playoff games.

Atlanta (7-12)—Only 4-3 at home; were first road team to win a playoff game at Lambeau when Michael Vick was there. Home loss to 49ers LY was Niners’ first road playoff win since 1970.

Carolina (6-5)—Disappointing home loss last week, but came close to winning Super Bowl when Jake Delhomme was QB, so you figure Cam Newton will get it done eventually.

Chicago (10-13)—1-1 in Super Bowls; 14 of other 21 playoff games were at home. Their ’85 team allowed only 10 points in its three playoff wins. Still think they made a mistake firing Lovie Smith.

Dallas (33-25)—From ’66-’97, were 32-19 in playoff games; since then, they’re 1-6. Lost last seven road playoff games, with last road win 17-13 at Chicago in ’97.

Detroit (1-10)—One win in 47 years, a glorious 38-6 win over Dallas in ’91, under the tutelage of Wayne Fontes. In 47 years, they’ve hosted two playoff games, and are 0-9 on the road. Into this mess they bring Jim Caldwell, who once went 26-63 in eight years at Wake Forest, and didn’t win a Super Bowl while coaching Peyton Manning. Oy.

Green Bay (23-15)—Won first nine home playoff games in Super Bowl era, are 3-4 in last seven. Won Super Bowls with three different QBs (Starr-Favre-Rodgers).

Minnesota (19-27)— Have most playoff losses in Super Bowl era. Hiring Mike Zimmer is an excellent move. 0-4 in Super Bowls, 1-6 in last seven road playoff games, now they’re going to play home games outdoors again for two years while their new stadium gets built.

NJ Giants (20-11)—Since ’07, have only made playoffs three times, but won Super Bowl two of those three years (8-1 in last nine playoff games). Still can’t believe the Super Bowl is going to be in Swamp Stadium in two weeks. Not America’s most brilliant idea.

New Orleans (6-9)—Didn’t play a playoff game from 1967 until 1987, didn’t win one until 2000; are 1-6 in road playoff games, but won last five at home, after losing first three. Super Bowl IV was in New Orleans, but outdoors at old Tulane Stadium.

Philadelphia (15-19)—Lost last three home playoff games, with last win in ’06 over the Giants. Lost Super Bowl XV in 1981 under Coach Dick Vermeil, 19 years before Vermeil won a Super Bowl with the Rams.

St Louis (16-21)—Haven’t made tournament since ’04; are 4-1 in playoff games in Jones Dome, were 4-4 in California- they won division seven years in row in 70’s, should’ve won at least one title with that group.

San Francisco (29-18)—28-24 win at Atlanta LY was their first road playoff win since 1970; they’re now 4-9 in road playoff games, 20-8 at home, 5-1 in Super Bowls.

Seattle (10-12)—Won last seven home playoff games; if they make it #8, they go to their second Super Bowl- their first-ever playoff win was over Denver, a former AFC West rival who they could easily play in the Swamp February 2.

Tampa Bay (6-9)—Lost NFC title game in their 4th season, are still just 1-6 in road playoff games. Haven’t made playoffs since 2007, will get back soon under Tony Dungy disciple Lovie Smith.

Washington (21-13)—Won three Super Bowls with three different QBs, are 13-2 in home playoff games, losing to Seattle in ’12, Chicago in 1994. Jay Gruden was a head coach in the Arena League for eight years; he is an interesting hire.

AFC Championship action report: Line mistake makes for one wild ride

There are two huge conference championship matchups on the NFL board this Sunday, with the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos battling for the AFC title, and the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks mixing it up for the NFC crown.

We talk with Michael Stewart, an oddsmaker with CarbonSports.ag, about the action coming in the AFC Championship Game, the drastic line move that occurred shortly after posting this spread, and where he sees the line landing coming kickoff.

New England Patriots at Denver Broncos – Open: -7, Move: -4.5, Move: -5.5

The Brady vs. Manning media blitz was overshadowed – at least in the sports betting industry – by the massive line movement this spread saw once it hit the market. Books opened New England as high as a touchdown underdog after thumping Indianapolis in the Divisional Round and took instant action on the road team, pushing this spread as many as 2.5 points.

“We literally wrote 50 bets to zero bets at that number,” Stewart says of the touchdown opener and action on the Patriots. “No question, we hung a bad opening number because we saw nothing but one-way action.”

Stewart admits the spread was off but is baffled by how far bettors have driven this spread, and the amount on money on New England at the mid-week mark. He points out that the Broncos were double-digit favorites in six of their eight home games during the regular season and easily covered those single-digit home spreads versus Baltimore and Kansas City.

“Bottom line, this team has been dominant at home and while I admit we opened with a bad number of 7, all the money we booked on the Patriots is surprising to me and my crew,” he says. “We’ve gone from needing the Broncos’ opponent in every single game this year, to all of a sudden seeing everyone fading the Broncos here. It is amazing to me.”

Once the spread dropped to Denver –4.5, action started to show up on the home side. Stewart says sharp money came in Monday afternoon and commanded a move to Broncos -5. Another hit from wiseguys forced books to tack on a half point Wednesday morning.

“This is by far one of the more interesting games we’ve booked in recent memory, as the public is supporting the dog and the wiseguys are on the favorite,” Stewart tells Covers. “The public drove this number down and now the sharps are driving it back up. So far 75 percent of the action is on the Patriots and, while sharp money is on the favorite, I don’t think we’ll get back to -6 because of our exposure on the Patriots is already significant enough.”

The total for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game isn’t as volatile as the spread, but has seen its share of adjustments. The number opened 55 and with 70 percent of total wagers siding with the Over, the book has since moved to 56. But Stewart believes this line isn’t done moving yet and could see major sharp influence before Sunday’s game.

“I suspect the wiseguys are waiting for this total to go even higher and I expect their patience will pay off because we’re going to eventually get to 56.5 and maybe, maybe even 57 as we get closer to kickoff,” he says.

NFC Championship action report: Sharps on Seahawks, public loves 49ers

There are two huge conference championship matchups on the NFL board this Sunday, with the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos battling for the AFC title, and the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks mixing it up for the NFC crown.

We talk with Michael Stewart, an oddsmaker with CarbonSports.ag, about the action coming in the NFC Championship Game, the early line moves, and where he sees the line landing coming kickoff.

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks – Open: -3, Move: -3.5

These NFC West rivals know each other all too well, having split their two games during the regular season. However, Seattle covered in both those contests and has drawn the early action in this battle of 11-5 ATS teams.

According to Stewart, sharp money first showed on the Seahawks and forced an extra half a point on the field-goal spread. However, since that adjustment, the public has piled on the underdog 49ers, who have won eight in a row, including two road playoff games.

“We’re seeing way more action on the dog than we are on the favorite,” Stewart tells Covers. “After going to 3.5, we saw a surge of 49ers money but this isn’t a game where we wanted to move the number and go back to -3, because as everyone knows, three is such a live number and we don’t want to get middled or sided.”

With about 70 percent of the handle sitting on the Niners, oddsmakers are juggling the juice, trying to stick to that 3.5-point spread. Sharp money hit the Seahawks again Wednesday morning, forcing a five cent adjustment to the vig from 49ers +3.5 (-125) to +3.5 (-120), with the Seahawks coming back at -3.5 (EVEN).

“This is a game where we’re seeing public money on the dog and sharp money on the favorite, and we kind of anticipated this scenario,” says Stewart. “Our bettors have been all over the 49ers in the playoffs. We’ve seen sharp money support the Seahawks at home all season and unlike last week, they’ve gotten the money more times than not. So this game and the line movement has been somewhat predictable.”

Stewart says the bulk of the action is still to come but they aren’t exposed with liability on either side so far and he doesn’t expect the spread to stray much farther than its current stand, offsetting money by dialing the juice up and down.

As for the total for the NFC Championship Game, the number opened at 41 points and immediately drew money from wiseguys on the Under Sunday evening. That trimmed the total to 40 but could stop action from sharps playing the Under. Their most recent move to 39.5 has finally coaxed Over bettors out of hibernation but it’s not enough to add to this number.

“We respect the Under money we booked so I don’t see us going back to 40 anytime soon,” says Stewart. “We really like where we’re at in this game, both on the side and total.”

Capping NFL rematches: What to keep, throw away for Championship Sunday

Often in the NFL's Conference Championship we see a rematch of two of the AFC and NFC's top teams from the regular season and 2014 is no exception. The NFL got exactly what it wanted with two of the more hyped playoff games in recent memory.

In the AFC, we will be getting the always intriguing story line of Peyton Manning going against nemesis Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. Meanwhile, the NFC West rivalry between the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers will be renewed for a third time this season.

With a lot to look at in terms of correlating the numbers of the original meetings and how they will factor into this weekend, we look at what to keep and what to throw away for these intense rivalry matchups.

New England Patriots at Denver Broncos (-4.5, 55)

Original meeting: New England 34 Denver 31 (Week 12)

What to keep: Surprisingly, for two teams that have quarterbacks who grab all the headlines, the rushing game is extremely important to both the Broncos and the Patriots. In their first meeting, Denver rushed for 280 yards while the Patriots rushed for 119. Both teams average well over 100 yards per game on the ground and hover near 30 rushing attempts. That success carried over to their wins this weekend with New England scoring on the ground for all six of their TD's and 234 yards rushing while the Broncos rushed for 133 yards against the Chargers. With Manning and Brady getting all of the attention from the media, you can forget that both of these teams will be expected to do a lot of their work on the ground this Sunday.

What to throw away: Both teams had uncharacteristic amounts of turnovers in their first meeting this season. New England turned the ball over four times, losing three fumbles and seeing Brady throw one interception. The Broncos had similar problems putting the football on the carpet, losing three fumbles of their own. In total, the Patriots fumbled six times in the game and the Broncos five times. Eleven forced fumbles in a game is an extremely high number and it would be surprising to see that repeated.

San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks (-3.5, 49)

First meeting: Seattle 29, San Francisco 3 (at Seattle, Week 2)
Second meeting: San Francisco 19, Seattle 17 (at San Francisco, Week 14)

What to keep: The team that has ran the ball most effectively has won the game in both 2013 meetings of these intense NFC West rivals. Seattle outrushed San Francisco 172-100 in the first contest which they won 29-3, while the Niners managed to win the rushing battle at Candlestick in December, holding the Seahawks to 86 yards while running for 163. With both teams built around mobile QBs and elite running backs, this game might once again come down to who can run better (or which defense can stop the run) on their way to the Super Bowl.

Both games between the two have also been low scoring and intense affairs, going under the total with just 32 and 36 points combined in the two respective meetings. San Francisco allows just 14.5 points per game in 2013 and the Seahawks allow just 16.8. With both team's defenses already amongst the most intense in the league it is unlikely that this game will feature less of that top-caliber defensive play we have seen in both games.

What to throw away: Seattle's 29-3 thumping of the Niners earlier in the season should be considered an afterthought as the Niners offense is much more well rounded with the presence of Michael Crabtree in the lineup. Crabtree caught eight passes for 125 yards against the Packers in the Wild Card and his presence opened up opportunities for Anquan Boldin against the Panthers when he caught eight passes if his own for 136 yards Sunday. With Brandon Browner also out of the picture after a PED suspension, the Seahawks secondary will likely struggle to hold a Niners team that averages 25.1 points per game to just a field goal for a second time. Expect the Niners team to look more like the team that played a close game in a 19-17 win at Candlestick than the team that was embarrassed by Seattle in hostile territory earlier in the year. Tread lightly however, as the Niners are 1-4 ATS in Seattle in their last five meetings.

NBA doubleheader: Knicks at Pacers, Thunder at Rockets
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New York Knicks at Indiana Pacers (-10, 184)

The Indiana Pacers are seemingly invincible at home, where they'll try for their ninth straight victory when the New York Knicks visit Thursday. The Pacers' 19-1 home mark is a big reason why they own the NBA's best record, and they're coming off a 116-92 pasting of visiting Sacramento on Tuesday. The Knicks had a season-best five-game winning streak snapped with a 108-98 loss at Charlotte on Tuesday and dropped a half-game out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference.

Indiana is the top defensive team in the league, and the Pacers are especially stingy at Bankers Life Fieldhouse, where they allow just 83 points per game and hold opponents to 38.9 percent shooting. "It's a different story when you come to play here," Pacers star Paul George told reporters. "Whatever you've done previously, when a team comes in hot, we make that commitment that it's going to be tough to play here." The Knicks have not lost a season series to the Pacers since Indiana swept four games in 2007-08, but the Pacers won the first game of this season's three-game series 103-96 in overtime Nov. 20 in New York.

TV: 7 p.m. ET, TNT, MSG (New York)

LINE: The line is currently at Pacers -10. The total is opened at 184.

POWER RANKINGS: New York (-6.1) - Indiana (-14.3) - home court (-3) = Indiana -11.1

ABOUT THE KNICKS (15-23, 16-22 ATS): New York's hot streak has come amid turmoil between coach Mike Woodson and enigmatic swingman J.R. Smith, who was benched for the second time in four games against the Bobcats. Smith (11.4 points) is one of only four players who average double-digit scoring for the Knicks. The Knicks got big man Tyson Chandler back against Charlotte after he missed the previous four games with bronchitis, but he didn't make much of an impact with five points and four rebounds in 16 minutes, and they're still without guard Pablo Prigioni (toe) and forward Metta World Peace (knee).

ABOUT THE PACERS (30-7, 25-12 ATS): Indiana's league-best defense starts with defending the rim, as the Pacers allow an NBA-low 34.2 points per game in the paint and ranks sixth in the league with 5.8 blocked shots per contest. The Pacers don't need to light up the scoreboard, but they're efficient and balanced on offense with all five starters averaging double-digit scoring and reserve Danny Granger (9.1 points) continuing to improve as he works his way back from injury. Indiana turned in one of its best offensive showings of the season against the Kings, shooting a season-high 54.9 percent and getting 31 points from leading scorer Paul George (22.8 points, 6.2 rebounds).

TRENDS:

* Favorite is 6-0 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Home team is 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings.
* Knicks are 1-4 ATS in the last five meetings.
* Knicks are 0-4 ATS in the last four meetings in Indiana.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Indiana has not allowed 100 or more points in its past 13 games and has done so only six times all season.

2. Knicks leading scorer Carmelo Anthony (26 points, 8.8 rebounds) tallied 30 points and 18 boards in the first meeting this season and averages 25.3 points in 26 career regular-season games against Indiana.

3. The Pacers are 20-0 when holding opponents under 90 points.

Oklahoma City Thunder at Houston Rockets (-2.5, 206)

The Houston Rockets finished up a four-game road trip with three straight wins but will get little time pat themselves on the back when they return home to host the Oklahoma City Thunder on the second night of a back-to-back Thursday. James Harden played the hero with eight points in the final three minutes of a 103-100 victory at New Orleans but is not always at his best against his former team. The Thunder are losers of three of four.

Oklahoma City is having a hard time without Russell Westbrook and is averaging 94.3 points in the last four games - more than 10 below its season mark. Kevin Durant is putting up an average of 37 points in that span but is getting little help. Harden is finding help up and down the Rockets roster of late with Terrence Jones and Chandler Parsons stepping up to join Harden, Dwight Howard and Jeremy Lin as a formidable offensive and defensive unit.

TV: 10:30 p.m. ET, TNT

LINE: The Rockets opened as 2.5-point faves. The total is currently at 206.

POWER RANKINGS: Oklahoma City (-12.5) - Houston (-10.5) + home court (-3) = Houston -1

ABOUT THE THUNDER (28-10, 20-18 ATS): Oklahoma City won its first two after Westbrook went down with another knee surgery but has since dropped five of eight, including its last three on the road. Durant went 15-of-28 from the floor in Tuesday’s 90-87 loss at Memphis but passed up the last shot and instead fired a pass to Serge Ibaka, who missed a 3-pointer. “That’s the thing I love about (Durant),” coach Scott Brooks told reporters. “He makes the right play. He can force a shot, but that wasn’t the right play.”

ABOUT THE ROCKETS (26-14, 20-17-2 ATS): Harden’s late-game offense was the key to overcoming a 17-point deficit at New Orleans on Wednesday, but defensive plays by Howard and Jones underneath were what set that offense up. Jones scored a career-high 25 points on Wednesday but also blocked six shots and has recorded 12 blocks in the last three games. The second-year forward has seen his minutes stay steady over the past two games even with Parsons back from a hamstring injury as Houston experimented with some bigger lineups.

TRENDS:

* Under is 6-1 in the last seven meetings.
* Thunder are 1-4 ATS in their last four road games.
* Rocket are 5-1 ATS in their last six games on no days rest.
* Under 6-1 in Thunder last seven versus a team with a winning SU record.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Harden was held to eight points on 2-of-9 shooting in a 117-86 loss at Oklahoma City on Dec. 29 and is averaging 24 points on 41 percent shooting in four career regular-season games against his original franchise.

2. Durant is just 6-for-30 from 3-point range in the last five games.

3. Houston G Aaron Brooks (knee) sat out Wednesday and is questionable for Thursday.

Nets at Hawks: What bettors need to know
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brooklyn Nets vs. Atlanta Hawks (+2, 192.5)

Game will be played at O2 Arena, London, England

The sightseeing in London will conclude and the game takes center stage on Thursday when the Brooklyn Nets face the Atlanta Hawks at The O2. The 19,000-seat venue has long been sold out and the Nets are finally playing solid basketball and rolled off five straight wins before falling to the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. The Hawks have hit a rough patch with four losses in six games and will serve as the home team.

The NBA continues to cultivate its presence in London with its fourth regular-season game held in the city but Brooklyn forward Andrei Kirilenko told reporters he doesn’t foresee a time when the league expands to London. “I don’t think it’s realistic only because of the traveling,” said Kirilenko, who is from Russia. “Maybe if it’s going to be a whole division, like the Euroleague is a division for the NBA like the West or Eastern Conference – so once a year you go to another continent and play three games there and then come back and adjust, maybe it’s going to work. But it’s definitely not going to work coming to London and then coming back. It’s physically impossible.”

TV: 3 p.m. ET, NBATV, YES (Brooklyn), SportSouth (Atlanta)

LINE: The line opened with the Nets as 1.5-point faves and now sit a -2. The total opened at 192.5.

POWER RANKINGS: Brooklyn (-6) - Atlanta (-6.5) + neutral site (0) = Atlanta -0.5

ABOUT THE NETS (15-22, 17-20 ATS): Guard Joe Johnson had 23 points when Brooklyn beat the Hawks on Jan. 6 and would like to have another solid outing against his former club. Johnson averaged 27.3 points over a three-game span before dropping to 11 in the loss to Toronto. Johnson is two 3-pointers away from becoming the 20th player in NBA history to reach 1,500 for his career and feels Brooklyn is finally in rhythm as a team. “We’ve kind of figured out some minor things and to roll with what we’ve got,” Johnson told reporters. “And we’ve been doing a pretty good job of guys helping one another on both ends of the floor.”

ABOUT THE HAWKS (20-18, 21-17 ATS): Atlanta’s offensive prowess has diminished since losing center Al Horford to a season-ending injury and the squad has failed to reach 100 points in five of the last seven games. The recent loss to the Nets was a prime example as the Hawks scored just 34 second-half points on 11-of-31 shooting. Power forward Paul Millsap appears to be on his game with his first back-to-back 20-point outings of the season. Millsap suffered through a 1-of-10 shooting performance (for four points) in a loss to the Indiana Pacers before rebounding with the two strong efforts.

TRENDS:

* Nets are 5-1 ATS in their last six games overall.
* Hawks are 0-4 ATS in their last four games playing on three or more days rest.
* Under is 6-1 in the Hawks last seven games overall.
* Over is 7-2-1 in Nets last 10 games vs the Southeast.

BUZZER BEATERS:

1. Brooklyn has won three of the past four meetings, including a 91-86 home victory earlier this month.

2. Hawks SF Kyle Korver has extended his record streak of consecutive games with at least one 3-pointer to 107.

3. Nets PG Deron Williams (ankle) didn’t make the trip to London and will miss his 16th game of the season.
