I am not a gambler but homefield advantage is a real factor and you should never discount it. Not sure what it is across all sports but its around 60% or more games are won by the home team. That is a decided edge however you slice it. When I saw the predictions of most saying the visitors would win all the games this weekend I felt they had a very good chance of being wrong.

I do not gamble either. I usually am wrong so I just play the pick ‘em games.
I think I get it right about 40 % of the time, that is pretty bad.
I'm really surprised the Cardinals won today, the Chargers did not rally surprise me that much.
We are in store for some great football through the whole playoffs. I hope all the games will be as good as tonight's game, that was fun.

Tell that to the Colts last year.
