All times ET. Home team in CAPS.
Saturday 4:30 PM – Texans at RAVENS (-9)
A battle wages
in the land of McNulty.
The game is the game.
Saturday 8:15 PM – Packers at NINERS (-9.5)
Cover your damn eyes.
Green Bay can beat ANYONE.
They will keep this close.
Sunday 3:00 PM – Bucs at LIONS (-6)
One city makes cars.
One city is all strip clubs.
Baker be dancin’.
Sunday 6:30 PM – Chiefs at BILLS (-3)
My head says Mahomes.
But my heart is in New York,
drenched in Elmo’s sauce.
Last week the picks were 2-4 but in fairness I picked the Steelers expecting them to cover in a blizzard. This week I’m on Baltimore -9, Packers +9.5, Bucs +6, Bills -3.
Kansas City 27, Jacksonville 20
Four mistakes.
Four mistakes cost the Jaguars a remarkable trip to the AFC Championship Game.
A dissertation could be written about the Jaguar approach to Travis Kelce but even with the tight end’s dominant performance, Jacksonville should have won this ballgame. They didn’t. Because of four mistakes.
Eagles 38, Giants 7
It’s not surprising the Eagles won. It is a bit surprising that the Giants – who have been defined lately by their grit – were completely toothless. I came away from this snooze of a game with three thoughts.
Atlantic City at 40 (Original Photo)
Last week, the guide was actually about gambling (i.e., trying to make money) and my slips in Atlantic City proved that advice to be solid. This week, I’m going to try and nail all eight general bets. That’s every spread and every over/under. Will I achieve that? Of course not. But it’s a worthy endeavor.
As always, all lines from DraftKings Sportsbook.
