GOLD SHEET ANALYSIS PHILLY - ATL
PHILADELPHIA 24 - Atlanta 10-Been there...done that? As far as
Philadelphia is concerned, that wouldn't be a good thing, considering that
the Eagles have reached three straight NFC title games and lost them all,
including the last two years at home vs. Tampa Bay and Carolina (scoring only
13 points total vs. the latter pair). What makes this year any different,
especially when the offseason acquisition HC Andy Reid thought would finally
get Philly over this conference title game hump, WR Terrell Owens (14 TD
catches TY), is injured and will miss this contest?
Simply, we're not convinced Atlanta presents quite the same obstacle
that the Rams did in 2001, nor the Bucs and Panthers the past two seasons.
Certainly, the Falcons offer some potentially troubling matchups to anyfoe. Atlanta, helped in no small part by QB Mike Vick's dangerous scrambling
ability (902 YR!), ranked first in rushing this season with 167 ypg and
destroyed the Rams last week on the dry, fast Georgia Dome carpet with 327
yards on the ground. The juiced-up Falcon "D" installed by former Packer
d.c. Ed Donatell (fired after LY's infamous 4th-and-26 playoff failure in
Philly) and 1st-year HC Jim Mora, Jr. led the NFL with 48 sacks. But we
don't believe either of those Atlanta strengths will decide this game,
because the Eagles are well-constructed to deal with both.
Granted, slowing the mercurial Vick is easier said than done, but shrewd
Philly d.c. Jim Johnson is noted not only for his aggressive schemes, but
also for minimizing the damage mobile QBs can do to his defense-which was the
case the last time he faced Vick, limiting the QB's improvisations in a 20-6
Divisional Playoff win two years ago. And Johnson has a few more defensive
"toys" at his disposal than a few years ago, namely ex-Titan DE Jevon Kearse
and ex-Redskin LB Jeremiah Trotter, both of whom have lent a big-play
component to the Eagle front 7. It's also worth noting that before Reid and
Johnson gave ample rest to their starters in the final two meaningless
reg.-season games vs. the Rams & Bengals, Philly had allowed the fewest
points in the league. And though RBs Warrick Dunn (1106 YR) & T.J. Duckett
(509 YR) are nice diversions, make no mistake-as Vick goes, so goes Atlanta.
Johnson's track record would indicate that, the Eagles, at the least, can
substantially minimize the damage Vick can cause.
And, T.O. or not, the hub of the Philly attack remains QB Donovan
McNabb, whose wheels, though not quite Vick-like, are certainly good enough
to help him negate much of the pressure Mora's defense will likely bring.
Let's also not forget that a now-seasoned McNabb (33 TDP) isn't likely to
self-destruct, evidenced by the mere 8 picks he's tossed in '04. If McNabb
can dodge the Atlanta pass rush, he ought to be able to do some business vs.
a so-so Falcon 2ndary, even without Owens at his disposal. Remember that the
versatile Brian Westbrook, who was out with injury at this stage LY, can be
called upon to fill a variety of roles in Reid's offense, running for 70
yards and catching 5 passes for 47 more in last week's handy win over the
Vikings.
"Totals"-wise; consider the decided "under" slant of both teams this
season (Atlanta "under" 11 of 17, Philly "under" 12 of 17
GOLD SHEET Analysis NEw England - Philly
New England 20 - PITTSBURGH 12-Neither of these QBs has ever lost a
playoff game as a starter! Although Pittsburgh rookie Ben Roethlisberger
"tried" last week vs. the Jets (two interceptions) and then-younger Tom Brady
was knocked out early in 2001's AFC title game in the Steel City with a rib
injury, with veteran Drew Bledsoe taking over and generating the winning
points in a 24-17 N.E. victory.
There are some important differences between this one and the first
Patriot-Steeler contest Oct. 31st. Pittsburgh won that game 34-20,
collecting 4 takeaways, building a 21-3 first-Q lead, and out-rushing New
England 221 to 5! N.E. was on a record 21-game winning streak at the time,
and the Pats went into the contest without RB Corey Dillon (minor injury;
DNP), key WR Deion Branch, and starting RT Tom Ashworth. The Pats were
coming off a key AFC East victory the week before vs. the then undefeated
Jets; the Steelers were coming off their bye. Facing a rookie QB making just
his fifth career start, N.E. was ripe for the picking. And AFC power-to-be
Pittsburgh gave the champs a thorough butt-kicking, sacking Brady 5 times,
intercepting him twice, & forcing him to fumble once (K.Faulk had the other
TO).
This time, it's the Steelers who have the long winning streak (15
straight), with Roethlisberger having started 14 of those (Tommy Maddox
filled in for the reg.-season finale at Buffalo). Now, Duce Staley (125 YR
in the first meeting) is not yet 100% on his strained hamstring, WR Plaxico
Burress (2 TDC in the first meeting) doesn't appear to have regained his full
effectiveness due to his own hamstring, and CB Deshea Townsend (39-yd. int.
TD in first meeting) is trying to get by despite a hand fracture.
New England, down three starters on its defense vs. Indy last week (CBs
Law & Poole; DE Seymour) and one on its offense (Ashworth), has shown it has
the depth and coaching to cope with the inevitable injury trials in an NFL
campaign. Corey Dillon (1535 YR TY; 144 more vs. Colts week ago) and Branch
are back. The entire Patriot team (30-2 its last 32 games overall; 24-7-1
vs. the spread) is now forewarned about the offensive power and the defensive
force that is the 2004 Steelers.
Perhaps most importantly, at least on defense, is the fact that the word
is out on the marvelous, rugged-but still rookie-Roethlisberger (66.4%, 17
TDs, 11 ints. in reg. season), who has now tossed 7 ints. in his last 4 games
overall, as opposing defenses have begun using a confusing array of zone
defenses against him, causing more hesitation than earlier in the season.
And who is better at camouflage, deception & confusion than Bill Belichick?
Whose defense has held practically-perfect Peyton Manning and the dynamic
Indy offense to a total of 17 points with 5 ints. the last two playoff
campaigns? Moreover, which of these two QBs has won 7 straight playoff
games, all by 3 points or more in the last 3+ seasons? Which QB has put his
team on the scoreboard first in 16 of 17 games TY? Lastly, must expect Brady
and heady off. coord. Charlie Weis to note the way the Jets' Chad Pennington
slowed down the Steelers zone blitzes last week, audibling to several
successful running plays into defensive weakness.
Earlier this year, a well-satisfied N.E. team traveled to Pittsburgh on
Halloween, and the Pats were the "treat" for the hungry Steelers, who pulled
the "trick." This time, look for the champs to have plenty of tricks of
their own. Totals players note that Pittsburgh allowed the fewest
points-against TY; N.E. tied for second.)

NFL:
I've been scratching my head on these plays all week, and the abundance of snow and wind at both venues clouds the issue even more.* My initial lean in the AFC game was to the Patroits, but the bad weather would seem to favor the hometown Steelers.* In the NFC, I was leaning to Philadelphia but if you buy the theory that the snow favors the better rushing team that would put you on the Falcons.* Throwing another consideration into the mix, history indicates that conference title games are frequently one sided contests:* in fact, since the AFL/NFL merger nearly 70% of conference title games have been decided by double digit margins.* So the trick becomes isolating the team most likely to dominate the other, but that's not so easy this year due not only to the weather but to other variables:* Will Pittsburgh's rookie QB rise to the occasion with a trip to the Superbow on the line?* Can the Steelers dominate the Patriots twice in the same year?* Which team will benefit the most from bad weather?* Over in the NFC game, we've got another set of questions:* How will the dome team respond to playing in winter weather?* Most importantly, perhaps, is the Philadelphia injury situation--how much have they kept "under wraps" since Terrell Owens went out with an injury?*
We'll come back to the sides in a moment but let's turn our attention to the totals:* OVERs and UNDERs are an even 18-18 in the L36 championship games, but the "obvious" play this year has to be on the UNDER due to the foul weather.* My raw point projections (not accounting for the weather) have the Falcons/Eagles at 36 combined points and the Pats/Steelers at 33 total points.* In other words, a slight edge to the UNDER in both contests but any value on that position has been lost due to the line movement based on the projection of bad weather.* NFC game opened at 42, and that's down to 36 or 37.* AFC opened at 38 and is down to 34' everywhere.*
So we've got no value on the totals and big questions on the side positions for both games.* As a result, we'll make these recommendations only and hope for some entertaining matchups since there doesn't appear to be much to work with from a wagering standpoint:
AFC:* Recommendations only on New England/UNDER
NFC:* Recommendations only on Philadelphia/UNDER
