Houston @ Cincinnati (-5)
New York Giants @ New Orleans Saints (-3)
In Game 3 of the NLCS Hiroki Kuroda is matched up against Cliff Lee. Kuroda is a solid pitcher who pitched well down the stretch but did not pitch in the NLDS due to an injury. He will be making his first start in 3 weeks today, and could be a little rusty. Lee has been outright dominant in the postseason so far and is showing no signs of letting up. I like the Phillies at home as they should have more than enough firepower this game.
The Texans have a high powered offense and an under average defense and the Bengals have an average offense and an above average defense. The Bengals seem to play to their level of competition and all their games have been close this year. They also struggle on special teams, especially on field goals. If Cincinnati wins this game I do not think it will be a blowout, so the Texans +5 look like a pretty good pick here.
The Giants/Saints game should be a pretty good game, but I think the Giants have the edge. The Saints are not too god coming off bye's and the Giants have a pretty solid defense. Manning has taken his game to a new level with his young receivers and the running game will start to click. The Saints are an elite offensive team, but I still do not think their defense can slow down the Giants. They have been getting a lot of interceptions this year and Manning is pretty good about not throwing any.
