Sportsbook Website – Both of Last Year’s Super Bowl Teams are Out. That means last year’s Super Bowl champion Saints and the runner-up Colts are both out of the playoffs. The Saints lost in a shocker at the online sportsbook as the Seahawks beat them while the Jets edged the Colts.
Jets Win on Last-Second Kick
The New York Jets got a 32-yard field goal from Nick Folk to beat the Indianapolis Colts 17-16 on Saturday night. It looked like the Colts would win the game as Adam Vinatieri hit a 50-yard field goal with less than a minute left to give Indianapolis the lead. The Jets got a great kick return from Antonio Cromartie that gave them good field position and quarterback Mark Sanchez led New York into position for Folk’s game winning kick.
Jets get New England Next
The Jets found a way to finally beat Peyton Manning and the Colts but it gets tougher this weekend when they have to go into New England to face Tom Brady and the Patriots. New England simply doesn’t lose at home with Brady at quarterback. It will be the third meeting between the Jets and Patriots this season. New England won at home 45-3 earlier this season against New York and they are favored on Sunday at the sportsbook website. The opening line was New England -8 but that number has dropped to 8.5.
Seahawks Shock the Saints
The bigger upset on Saturday at the sportsbook was New Orleans losing to Seattle. The Seahawks were 10-point home underdogs at Sbg global against the defending Super Bowl champs. The New Orleans defense was terrible though and Seattle’s Matt Hasselbeck carved them up all day. He threw four TD passes and the Seahawks became the first team in NFL history with a losing record to win a playoff game. And it was not a fluke. Seattle outplayed the Saints and deserved to win. Seattle outscored Drew Brees and the Saints and looked like a team that wanted to win. Brees completed a playoff-record 39 passes in 60 attempts for 404 yards and two TDs but the Saints had no running game and the defense couldn’t stop Seattle.
