7* WILD CARD PLAYOFF GAME OF THE YEAR!!!
#108 7* Indianapolis -3.5 (1:05 est) CBS
The Colts are going to be very difficult to beat at home in the playoffs – especially tough for a Cincy team that is not 100% healthy and who has a history of failing big time in prime time and playoff games under Dalton. Indy has covered 7 of their last 10 playoff games while Cincy has failed to cover in their last 6 playoff games. Only one way to look here, especially with the low number to lay here.

Not a good start to the playoffs going 0-2 with our two plays. Like Kyle said though, don't increase your units because it's the playoffs and there are only two games a day on TV. Two picks here in the last two games of Wild Card weekend...
Kevin's Pick(s):
2 UNIT = Cincinnati Bengals @ Indianapolis Colts - BENGALS +4 (-105)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.90 units)
2 UNIT = Detroit Lions @ Dallas Cowboys - LIONS +6.5 (-103)
(Note: I'm risking 2.00 units to win 1.94 units)

Play - Bengals-Colts Over
Edges - Bengals: 8-4 Over after facing the Steelers; and 4-2 Over first playoff games. Colts: 6-4 Over last 10 playoff home games. With these two teams having gone Over the total in 8 of their last 13 matchups, look for a well-lit scoreboard today. We recommend a 1-unit play on the Over total in this game. Thank you and good luck as always.
