So what, so what, so what's the scenario?
Las Vegas - A Tribe Called Quest talked about the scenario and there are a handful of playoff scenarios at work in the Bucs/Panthers game and here's what it looks like. Carolina is in the proverbial driver's seat and would clinch the NFC South with a win or a tie against Tampa Bay. Or, if the Falcons beat the Saints tomorrow. It's a little more of a long shot for the Bucs. They need to beat the Panthers and have the Falcons lose or tie against the Saints. If Atlanta wins, that would create a three-way tie, with the Panthers clinching a spot. The Bucs hold the tiebreaker if they end up tied just with Carolina. Whew. So, who is gonna win? Too many questions and we don't have all the answers. However, will sneak in a little prop action and take Tampa's RB Rico Dowdle to go Over 2.5 receptions. Rico has gone Over 2.5 grabs in seven of his last 12 games, so we'll throw a few chips his way.
In the late game, there are also a handful of scenarios in the 49ers/Seahawks matchup. You ready. San Francisco would get the #1 seed with a victory due to the first tiebreaker (head-to-head), because they won 17-13 at Seattle in the season opener. What does a win for the Niners mean? It means the #1 seed, home games for the entire playoffs, and, and, a home game if they get to the Super Bowl which will be played at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. That's a whole bunch of motivation. Obviously, if the Seahawks win, they get the #1 seed and home games throughout the playoffs, but not Super Sunday. So, once again, who is gonna win? Both teams come in riding six game winning streaks but after looking at some home/away stuff, gotta lean on Seattle. The 'Hawks are 7-1 straight up and against the spread on the road this season and have won 13 of the last 14 away from home. THIRTEEN & ONE! Brock Purdy has been on fire, but going scorched earth on the Browns, Titans, Colts and Bears is like a so what. Sam Darnold is also slinging, Seattle's D is rock solid (#2 in the NFL), so it's a few pennies on the Seahawks.
On the prop board, if you can find it, we like 49ers TE Jake Tonges Over 2.5 receptions and for an Anytime TD at 10/1. He filled in for George Kittle last week, had nine targets, seven grabs and scored a TD. Also like Seattle's TE AJ Barner on the alternate receiving yards prop to go Over 25.5 yards.
