I whiffed pretty bad during Wild Card Weekend. I went favorite-heavy, but the underdogs had a big weekend. The weather played a huge factor in many of the over/under point totals as well.
We have two double-digit point spreads on Saturday, which isn’t very common. We usually see about half of the games on Wild Card Weekend with touchdown (and over) point spreads, but covering double-digit spreads this deep into the postseason is very hard…but I am not betting against both of them.
Can the Detroit Lions continue their playoff run?
We pick every NFL Divisional Playoff game against the spread.
Since there are only six games this weekend, as a bonus I will also pick the over/under for each game.
Houston Texans at Baltimore Ravens (-10) – over/under (43.5) – My pick is Baltimore Ravens and OVER
Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers (-10) – over/under (50) – My pick is San Francisco 49ers and UNDER
Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroit Lions (-6) – over/under (49.5) – My pick is Tampa Bay Buccaneers and UNDER
Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills (-2.5) – over/under (45) – My pick is Buffalo Bills and UNDER
