2016 - week 21 (aka Play offs week 4) - picks

Two weeks away, but here's my instinct picks....



02/05 6:30 PM
101 NE -3 *
102 ATL 59 over

I normally would take under the total, but due to TV timeouts (and their length - longer than normal as compared to regular season) I'll go over... say... 35-30?

Below is a chart of each teams regular season opponents as well as the past two weeks of post season.

As you can see below, they have played 5 common opponents this season.
NE @ARI wk 1 win,  ARI @ATL wk 12 win (CoBye)
SEA @ NE wk 10 loss (CoBye), ATL @SEA wk 6 loss
NE @SF wk 11 win, SF @ATL wk 15 win
LA @NE wk 13 win, ATL @LA wk 14 win
NE @DEN wk 15 win, ATL @DEN wk 5 win

not much difference, if they played the opponent earlier in the season it was 'close', later on in the season much more scoring, a larger difference in scoring
