Have to agree with Woody picking the 49's. Vegas is begging you to take the Ravens with the half point hook.Everyone I have spoke with is playing Baltimore plus the points. When you go to Vegas look around at the huge plush casinos, they dont build them like that because the general public wins. SF is a different team with the rookie Qb much like RGIII but healthy. If the rook goes down you have Alex Smith with a very good QB rating to step right in. Who is Flaccos back up? The thing that is scary laying points is if SF is up by three I dont see them going for anymore points against his brother. Both teams have good offenses and defenses I think the read option is a major difference in this game. If SF can contain Smith and Bolden then I see Ravens depending on Rice and the ground game but they cant stick to that if they get behind early. I for one believe it may be higher scoring than most believe. Just my 2 cents worth. Good luck to all however you wager.

SF has given up 34, 42, 31 and 24 pts against the last 4 play-off teams they've faced (NE, Sea, GB and Atl) for an average of 32.75 ppg. and they've been out-first downed and out-yarded in 3 of those. Baltimore held Indy to 9 pts and NE to just 13 pts and they are +5 in TO ratio in their 3 playoff games (SF is +2 in 2 games). I know that doesn't tell the whole story but I think the way Baltimore is playing and the fact that SF isn't coming close to shutting any offenses down lately bodes well for a Raven team getting more than a FG.

I've placed 4 small to medium bets so far on Balt +4.5 to +3.5.
Fixing to place 1/4 of my bankroll Balt+3.5 @-105.
If favorable results received from Taxman, then put remaining 3/4 on Balt next friday @ -105.
This is largest wager I've ever won !

How would Strenght of Schedule factor into depending on a system like this? The team with the better stats. could have built their stat. advantages playing weaker teams. The team with the inferior stats. could have played and possibly beaten better competition (building their house on a firmer foundation (IMO). In other words- are these statistical advantages Signal or Noise?

Go to ESPN and look at the year end standings, you'll see the season SOS. Though, one thing I have seen is and I'm looking at for next season are those teams whose SOS is less than .400 generally lose their first playoff game. Don't hold me to that, as I am populating that fact for next year.
