It's the Divisional Round this weekend and, having landed a 22/1 Treble last weekend, we're aiming for more of the same this weekend
Houston @ Kansas City - Having played well last weekend to get past the Chargers, Houston now face the difficult task of travelling to Kansas City to play the reigning champions. The Chiefs start the game as 8.5 point favourites and it's hard to bet against them, especially when you consider their playoff record at home. We're taking Kansas City and the points - we're also taking the over on the modest 41.5 points total.
Washington @ Detroit - Not too many people would have expected Washington to make it this far at the start of the season - it's been a fantastic year for them. However, this is where we think that their run comes to an end. Detroit are 9.5 point favourites for a reason - they've been the best team in the league all season and, we're taking them to win and cover in this one. We don't think that there will be 55.5 points though so, we're going under on the Points total.
LA Rams @ Philadelphia - LA Rams comfortably beat Minnesota last time out which could be viewed as a bit of a surprise - we thought that it would be much closer. Now they have to travel to the form-team of the NFC, the Philadelphia Eagles. Philadelphia are favoured by 6.5 points and, when you combine home advantage with the way that Saquon Barkley is playing then, we're picking the Eagles to cover. The points total is set at 43.5 points and, we're leaning towards the Over on this.
Baltimore @ Buffalo - This is definitely the Standout game of the weekend. The Bookies obviously see this as a 'pick-em' as they are making Baltimore only a 1 point favourite. This is a tough one to call as it's very difficult to pick against Lamar Jackson. However, we're taking Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills to win this one - it may even go to overtime. We just think that this could be the year that the Bills finally breakthrough and go all the way.
The game is going to be close and tense and, with that in mind, we're going under on the 51.5 points total,
Game | Pick | Points Total |
Houston @ Kansas City | Kansas City -8.5 | Over 41.5 |
Washington @ Detroit | Detroit -9.5 | Under 55.5 |
LA Rams @ Philadelphia | Philadelphia -6.5 | Over 43.5 |
Baltimore @ Buffalo | Buffalo +1 | Under 51.5 |
For our Player Props, we've taken one per game.
In the Kansas/Houston game, we can see Nico Collins being targetted a lot and as such, can see him going past the 74.5 yard mark. We're combining that with De'Andre Hopkins picking up One or Two nice receptions and going for over 29.5 Yard Mark. This double is a modest 2/1.
We've already picked Detroit to win and, if you parlay this with a big night for Jared Goff (270.5 Yards) and, a Sam Laporta TD then, this will get you 4/1
Additionally, we've already previously mentioned that we see a big game for Saquon Barkley and, if you take him to hit the 100 Yard rushing mark and, pair that with Kyren Williams to also to hit 100 Yards (for the 5th time this season) then, this will return a nice 7/1.
Finally, for a long shot Parlay - take Buffalo to win, James Cook to rush for over 74.5 Yards and a Touchdown for rookie Keion Coleman then, this will get us 14/1 - definitely worth a look!
