Ok, last week was a little too easy… I expect this week should be tougher. No way Vegas will let us keep taking their money. But that won’t stop us from trying.
FALCONS -4.0 over SEAHAWKS
This should be an interesting battle: Offence vs Defence. The Falcons averaged 33.8 points per game during the regular season, while the Hawks allowed an average of 18.3. This is usually where I say, Defence beats Offence, or the playoffs are different than the regular season. But I am not going to bet against Matt Ryan right now… I think this is his breakout postseason.
PATRIOTS -15.0 over TEXANS
So it’s obvious the Pats are going to win here…just question is just by how much. The Texans have only beaten the Patriots once in their history and have never won a game in Foxborough. It’s a lot of points and I’m not feeling overly confident but Belichick never backs down – I think the Pats should run the table.
COWBOYS -4.5 over PACKERS
The Packers have scored 30 or more points in each of their past 5 games…but they are without Jordy Nelson for this one. The Cowboys have too many weapons and I can’t wait to see their rookies step up in the playoffs. This will be a great game.
STEELERS -1.5 over CHIEFS
The Steelers have won 8 straight games and also destroyed the Chiefs 43-14 back in week 4. I think this line is very generous and the Steelers should do pretty well against KC, despite their defence being one of the best in the league. Look for Antonio to rake it in.
