NFL Divisional Round
2-2 last week, picks I actually play are in BOLD
Vikings +7
Still stunned that the Vikings pulled it out vs the Saints last week. They ran the ball well, Cousins threw it well, and the biggest part of the game was how their front 4 just mauled New Orleans up front. Everson Griffin showed when he’s on, he’s a top 3 defensive lineman. If that keeps up…they could be a legit sleeper. I don’t think the 49ers have much of a home field advantage, and I think the Vikes and Zimmer’s conservative style (which kind of almost sneaky cost them the game last week) will keep it close enough into the 4th Quarter.
Titans +9.5
I think the Titans match up well with the Ravens, especially if Mark Ingram can’t go. I expect both teams to run the ball and possess the clock. I do love the Titans 1H +6 as the Ravens, coming off of 3 weeks of rest, probably start out slow. I can see this game having a miracle cover of some sort.
Chiefs -9.5
I though the Texans got really lucky last week when McDermott/Josh Allen crapped their pants in the 4th quarter, which then Texans HC Bill O’Brien also then preceded to crap his pants to give the Bills the ball back to tie it and go into OT. Andy Reid is awesome off the bye week, and they lost to the Texans last October so you know they’ve made adjustments, especially defensively where they are playing better.
Packers -4
Don’t bet this line; a largely unbettable game from that aspect. I do like the UNDER 47 as it should be low scoring, and both teams will run the ball a lot. Looking forward to see how Pete Carroll screws this one up!
