Fantasy Football: 4 Historical Vegas Trends You Should Know for the Divisional Round
What do the odds say about the divisional round for certain players -- such as LeGarrette Blount's performance as a double-digit favorite -- and how can your fantasy teams benefit?

Start Russell Wilson in a Game with a High Over/Under

When you think of Seattle Seahawks games, you probably don't think of high-scoring shootouts, but playing a game with the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome can change that pretty quickly.

The total in this Saturday's game is set at 51.5 points with the Falcons being favored by 5 points. The Falcons' games have gone over the total 13 out of 16 times this season, including all eight home games.

According to the Rotoviz Game Splits App, Russell Wilson has never played in a game with a total higher than 49 points. He has played in three games with a total of 48.5 or higher, and he has averaged 28 fantasy points per game in those three. It's a smaller sample size, but even if we expand it to five career games with a total of 48 points or higher, his average is a terrific 25.94 fantasy points per game.

Wilson is priced at $8,200 on FanDuel, ranking fourth among quarterbacks in price. With the likely high-ownership of players like Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, Wilson makes for an ideal tournament play.
