SEATTLE (+9.5) SAN FRANCISCO (42.5)
Seattle was lucky to back into the playoffs. San Francisco was demonstrated that they are the better team. SF has a number 1 ranked defense, and a solid offense with many playmakers as options. I am picking the 49ers to win this game, however, I am taking the +9.5 points with the dogs. I have two reasons why I am taking Seattle to cover. First, the SF QB was the third string QB. As a rookie he has looked spectacular. Now with no playoff experience, and the pressure to win a game like this is huge. How many QB can you name won Super bowls their rookie season? Next, Heavy rains are predicted in the forecast comes game time. Anything could happen either way. PREDICTED SCORE, SF 27 SEATTLE 23, OOVER/UNDER 42.5 OVER THE TOTAL
LA CHARGERS (-2.5) JACKSONVILLE (47.5)
This will be a close contest, however, consider the Chargers during the beginning season suffered many injuries to key personnel... Now, that are healthy, and ready to go. Like I commented about San Francisco’s situation, Jacksonville’s Trevor Lawrence is only a second year QB, without any playoff experience. Expect Lawrence to be blitzed often, and will be forced into mistakes. PREDICTED SCORE, LA CHARGERS 23 JACKSONVILLE 20 OVER/UNDER UNDER THE TOTAL.
MIAMI (+14) BUFFALO (43.5)
Bottom line, Tua is out, and Miami doesn’t have a chance. As soon as it was announced, the line shot up from 9.5 to 14. Even with Miami spotted two touchdowns, I expect a massacre. Enough said. PREDICTED SCORE, BUFFALO 33 MIAMI 7, OVER/UNDER UNDER THE TOTAL.
NY GIANTS (+3) MINNESOTA (48.0)
First, I don’t trust Minnesota’s QB Cousins. He is a choke artist at best. The Vices have a good offense, however, their defense is horrid. I ranked them 31st out of 32 NFL teams. The NY Giants, rank 25th on overall defense. So expect a high scoring game in the dome. This game can go either way. PREDICTED SCORE, NY GIANTS 31 MINNESOTA 30, OVER/UNDER, OVER THE TOTAL.
BALTIMORE (+9) CINCINNATI (40.5)
The Bengals are a hot team closing the second half of the season. On the other hand, QB Lamar Jackson has went MIA since December 4th. He missed three straight weeks of practice, and his status to play is unlikely. So if there is no Jackson, Cincinnati wins this game handily PREDICTED SCORE, CINCINNATI 24 BALTIMORE 17 VVER/UNDER, and OVER THE TOTAL.
DALLAS (-2) TAMPA BAY (45.0)
America’s team was embarrassed last week, and lost to an inferior team. Instead, the Cowboys not only lost, they were blown out. Dallas can use last week’s loss to their advantage. It’s called professional pride. You better believe that every Cowboy player, is focused, and motivated. I look at their opponent, Tampa Bay, who finished the regular season under .500, have no running attack, and QB Brady hasn’t any weapons to connect with. PREDICTED SCORE, DALLAS 27 TAMPA BAY 19. OVER/UNDER, OVER THE TOTAL.
