The NFL Playoffs continue on Sunday. And like the Saturday games, neither one looks very competitive. Time for another edition of OVER/UNDER
For those that don't remember, OVER/UNDER is a classic betting term. It's a bet that has nothing to do with who will win the game. Instead, you are betting on whether the TOTAL number of points (or goals, or runs, or whatever) scored by BOTH TEAMS will be OVER or UNDER a certain target number. So when you hear somebody say, "the over/under for this football game is 51.5, that means the target number is 51.5
Anybody betting the OVER is betting that a total of 52 or more points will be scored by both teams in the game
Anybody betting the UNDER is betting that a total of 51 or less points will be scored by both teams in the game
For this edition of OVER/UNDER, we will be asking you to make two predictions
We are asking you to predict whether the total number of points scored by both teams will be OVER or UNDER the target number in BOTH GAMES
To win your share of the pool, you have to correctly predict BOTH
INFORMATION
GAME ONE
Houston Texans 21% at Kansas City Chiefs 79%
As you can see, this one isn't predicted to be very close. The Chiefs are expected to win this one by 9.5 points, and that's why we only care about the Over/Under
It is predicted to be a HIGH scoring game
OVER/UNDER TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS
51.5
GAME TWO
Seattle Seahawks 35% at Green Bay Packers 65%
This is predicted to be the closest of the weekend games, and that isn't saying much. The Packers are favored by 4.5 points in this one.
However, this one is expected to be a slightly lower scoring game than the first one
OVER/UNDER TOTAL NUMBER OF POINTS
47.5
What is it?
You are being asked to make two predictions
Will the total score be OVER or UNDER the target set for each game.
