From the Aladdin:

New England 8.5 over Atlanta
New England 5 over Philadelphia
Pittsburgh 6.5 over Atlanta
Pittsburgh 3 over Philadelphia

Obviously these can change. One week ago the early lines on the AFC Championship game had Pittsburgh as a 1.5 pt favorite over NE, if both teams advanced, which they did. By Sunday night, the new line was New England by 3.

The difference in the line all has to do with the game Pittsburgh played against the Jets. My feeling is that the public, as usual, over reacted to one game. I may be wrong (it's happened often enough) but I'll take the top defense in football, at home, getting points, every time
