JACKSONVILLE (53.0) @ KANSAS CITY (-8.5)
Last week, the Jags made an amazing come from behind win, and advanced in the playoffs. KC, is now well rested, and is at home. I can see Jacksonville hanging in there, but losing the game straight up. However, KC laying 9 points, may be a reach. My reasoning, KC defense isn’t that stout, and will allow the Jags to hang around. KC should win this game by a touchdown. PREDICTED SCORE, KANSAS CITY 28 JACKSONVILLE 21, UNDER 53.0 POINTS.
NEW YORK GIANTS (48.0) PHILADEPHIA (-7.5)
The last time both teams faced each other, was the last game of the regular season. The Giants benched their key players. Philadelphia won that game 22 – 16, and scored only one touchdown. QB Hurts was mending his broken collar bone, and was just given the okay this week to be activated and start. We don’t know or can’t project his upcoming performance versus the Giants. I can tell you from personal experience, that I suffered a broken collar bone. It took 4-6 weeks to heal, yet once it was healed, I had to rehab, and avoid physical contact. So in this case, Hurts has to make sure that he isn’t sacked and driven into the turf. It also means, that hurts has to limit or avoid running the football from the pocket. Normally, if Hurts was 100% healthy in December, and was putting up big offensive numbers, I would have picked the Eagles -9 points. With the huge improvement of Danny “Dimes”, and a starting lineup in tacked, the Giants should cover the spread. PREDICTED SCORE, PHILADELPHIA 24 NY GIANTS 23, UNDER 48.0 POINTS.
CINCINNATI (48.5) BUFFALO (-5.5)
The biggest problem in this matchup, is that the Bengal offensive line is in shambles. They might have only one starter to protect QB Burrows. In addition, I am not too wild about their defense, and QB Allen should also take advantage of his mobility. In addition, the Bills will produce a better offensive game then Baltimore did last week without their starting QB. PREDICTED SCORE, BUFFALO 31 CINCINNATI 24, OVER 48.5 POINTS.
DALLAS (46.0) SAN FRANCISCO (-3.5)
San Francisco, is my entry representing the NFC in the Super Bowl. San Francisco, played the second half of their season, almost to perfection. They achieved this feat with their third string QB, (Mr. Irrelevent).They have a balance offense, and their defense ranks #1 in the NFL.Dallas, on the other hand , always appears to be treading water all season long. The Cowboys have to realize, that their over matched in this game, and the pressure will be on them. Turnovers will cost the Cowboys. Dallas will also realize, that the Boys aren’t playing the lousy Tampa Bay Bucs. PREDICTED SCORE, SAN FRANCISCO 28 DALLAS 19, OVER 46.0.
