Going to be a very chilly night in Buffalo.
Better hope those bench warmers work.

Should I make my bets based on your picks?

That's a lot of points to lay on the Chiefs. There are no home dogs.

Oh, they're ready.

My last few weeks of picking haven't been the greatest but end of the regular season is always tough to predict. I'll be transparent about what I bet and you can do what you want with the information.

I bet:
Cincy
Bills
Philly
SF
Rams

I laid off on the KC/Pitt game. 12.5 is a lot but I hate betting on Pitt. But for the sake of making a pick:

KC

 

[Insidious Von]

Normally I love watching the Cowboys lose but this is ridiculous.

It's incumbent on the Cowboys offense to keep the ball moving, that hasn't happened. The 49'rs OL has consistently had the Cowboys defense on their heels, the broken play shouldn't have resulted in a touchdown for Deebo. Frankly I despise the Cowboys slightly less after I found out that Tony Soprano's only guma to make him do the sburra dance was a Cowgirl.

 

[John Wick]

Bengals
Bills
Eagles
49ers
Steelers
Cardinals

While Raiders got jobbed on bad calls, Bengals still deserved the win.
Bills played well, but Pats played absolute shit, and made it easy for Bills to look good. Will be waaay different against KC.
Eagles had absolutely nothing, surprised they didn't dump Hurts for anyone else when it was clear early he couldn't get anything going at all.
Dak Prescott's ego cost the Cowboys the game. Plain and simple. He should own it and wear it.
Steelers were badly outmatched as a whole. Time to move on from Ben and find someone more mobile.

Cards vs. Rams?
I chose Cards for sentimental reasons, but the two line up as follows:

Murray vs. Stafford - I think Stafford wins here
Green & Hopkins vs. Kupp & Jefferson - it's a toss up
Ertz vs. Higbee - Edge to Higbee

I think it will be LA's running game tandem of Sony Michel and Darrell Henderson that is the major difference here.
I think Gay out-kicks Prater in any close matchup.
Aaron Donald could be the difference for LA on defense.
In the end, I think LA wins this one, but I still hope the Cards can find a way to pull it out for the win.

I didn't get my predictions in but right now I'm 2-3 ATS. I got Bills and Bucs right. I will never bet on the Cowboys ever again. Perennial playoff chokers...just like the Leafs.
Tonight I have Rams to win and cover. Even with Stafford's recent struggles. Something doesn't seem right with Arizona, they have been off ever since Kyler Murray got injured.

I hope you're wrong and the Rams lose. They're clearly a super team built to win now. I hate this new NFL where teams don't grow organically!

I'm cheering for Zona but I think Rams take it. But hey good chance I am wrong given my recent track record.

KC

I can settle for 5 out of 6.

I haven't finalized but I'm considering the faves on Saturday and the dogs on Sunday. I think a banged up Tampa O-line will have trouble dealing with the Rams defensive front. Old and slow Brady will be in tough. IMHO, of course.

Well done. Here are my predictions for the divisional playoffs this week

Saturday

Titans -2.5 vs. Bengals. The Titans are going to have their full complement of players for the first time in weeks. RB Derrick Henry returns as does WR Julio Jones. I think they're going to be too much for the young Bengals to handle. I think the Titans easily cover this one.

Packers -5.5 vs. 49'ers. Going to be a cold one in the tundra that is Lambeau Field. Obviously you have to give the Packers the home field advantage and the clear edge at QB. If Rodgers is on, and I expect that he will be as long as the SF pass rush is contained, he should be able to pick apart the 49'ers secondary. Given that you'd think the Packers would win handily but historically they have problems with the 49'ers. I think this will be a close battle so I'm going to take SF to cover the spread.

Bucs -3 vs. Rams. I don't know if I can bring myself to bet against Brady in the playoffs. No doubt the Bucs are missing WR Godwin but they have other weapons. Gotta watch closely the status of C Ryan Jensen and RT Tristan Wirfs who are both game time decisions. If they play I'm taking the Bucs to win and cover. Fournette also should be back.

Chiefs -2 vs. Bills. A battle of 2 of the best QB's in the league. The Bills decimated the Patriots last week and the Chiefs did the same to the Steelers. This one has the makings of a potential shootout even though both team's defenses are pretty solid. I'm going to pick an upset here and take the Bills to win in Arrowhead. I'd also lean the over 54.5.

Thanks. We agree on 2 this week.

As I'd mentioned above, I'm taking LA instead of Tampa. (There is no city called Tampa Bay.)
I also think having a bye week is big, so I'm sticking with the Pack. But maybe Shanahan has a good game plan.

So ATS:
Tennessee
Packers
Rams
Bills.

 

[bazokajoe]

Straight up I'll take Titans, Packers, Rams and Chiefs.

Went 4 - 2 last week. A little late to post (after Q1 of the first game), however I had already made my mind up:

Cincy
Packers
Bucs
Bills

WOW!

SF vs GB.

Forget the low 13 - 10 score.

The atmosphere < freezing temps/snow/tundra/Lambeau >

The defenses < sacks, crushing hits, coverages >

The unexpected < blocked field goal, blocked punt TD >

Momentum shift > surging 2nd half SF >

Tension < last minute SF drive with key 3rd down Deebo play and last play 45 yd fg >

Classic 'old school football' propels itself to a legendary playoff game.

Reminiscent of the 2007 Giants vs Packers playoff game aka the "Tom Coughlin frozen face game"

 

[shack]

The 2 games today?

Fuck and fuck.
