NFL Playoffs Betting – Wild Card Weekend Review. Wild Card weekend started on Saturday with two upsets in NFL Playoffs betting.It was the Seattle Seahawks surprising the New Orleans Saints while the New York Jets beat the Indianapolis Colts. Gamblers making an NFL playoffs bet on Sunday at Sbg global.com saw the Baltimore Ravens rout the Kansas City Chiefs while the Green Bay Packers just got past the Philadelphia Eagles.
Seattle 41-36
The Saints were double-digit favorites on the road at Seattle but the defending Super Bowl champs looked like chumps. The Saints defense was a disgrace and Seattle moved up and down the field almost at will. Matt Hasselbeck threw four TD passes and Marshawn Lynch cemented the win with a fantastic 67-yard TD run with just over three minutes left. The Seahawks are the first team with a losing record to ever win a playoff game. The Seahawks got down 10 points early but they came back on the arm of Hasselbeck. He ended the day with 272 passing yards and four TDs. Brees threw for 404 yards and two touchdowns but the Saints couldn’t run the ball at all and their defense was really bad.
New York 17-16
The Jets completed the sweep of underdogs in NFL playoffs betting for Saturday as they got a 17-16 win at Indianapolis. Nick Folk hit a 32-yard field goal as time expired and the Jets made sure neither of last year’s two Super Bowl participants would make it this year. It was a tough loss for Peyton Manning and the Colts who got a 50 yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri with 53 second left. New York got a nice kick return from Antonio Cromartie and Mark Sanchez made some nice plays to get New York in position for the game winning field goal.
Baltimore 30-7
The Baltimore Ravens proved that they were the far superior team to Kansas City on Sunday. The Ravens forced Kansas City into five turnovers and Joe Flacco threw two touchdown passes. The Chiefs played a weak schedule this season and they were exposed on Sunday at home as a fraud. Kansas City has now lost seven postseason games in a row which is an NFL record.
Green Bay 21-16
The final game for gamblers to make an NFL playoffs bet on in Wild Card weekend was Green Bay at Philadelphia. Aaron Rodgers threw three TD passes and the Packers contained Michael Vick and the Eagles offense. The Packers now go to Atlanta to face the Falcons on Saturday night.
