CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

I've got weird prop bets galore...

Eagles/Cardinals(H) 1st half +.5 2nd half

DeVoodoo's pick: 2nd half
I feel good about laying a half-point in the 2nd half. There's a good chance these two potent offenses will slug it out at the end, with a flurry of points in the final minutes.

LaRon McClain 1st rush attempt O/U @ 3.5 yards

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER
The Steelers will try to prove dominance early by forcing the Ravens to the air. The stifling Steelers' D will swarm on McClain's first carry of the game. 

Try Polomalu total tackles O/U @ 4.5

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER
It's the playoffs. There's no way Polamalu isn't around the ball at all times.  

Ravens/Steelers(H): any team to score 3 unanswered times?

DeVoodoo's pick: NO
I think this game will be what we all expect -- low scoring, defensive, physical football. It's pretty difficult to score three unanswered times in a contest like this. 

Joe Flacco total passing yards O/U @ 173.5

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER
This rookie QB is cool, but the Steelers have proven they know how to rattle him.
