Hi everyone, great start to the playoffs for me and it would have been more amazing but I made one critical mistake. I though Tom Brady still had super powers (well I guess I was wrong). Now we head into the divisional round. 8 teams remain, I do not want to spoil who I am picking so I will just get to the picks shall I.
jaguars +8.5 over CHIEFS
But Drew it’s going to snow and the Jags are a team from Florida. But Drew the Chiefs are more rested than the Jaguars. But Drew Patrick Mahomes has won the MVP (likely) again. I know all of the reasons why I should take the Chiefs but here is why I should take the No Flo Cats. The Chiefs are a terrible big favorite, the Chiefs failed to cover against the Raiders, Broncos (twice), Chargers (twice), Titans, Texans (you get it) all as big favorites. Sure they did cover in four other games this year as big favorites but the trend is the trend. Chiefs get to big lead, let Jar Jar Binks and his cats back in it before Kermit goes on a six minute drive to run the clock out.
Chiefs Win 27-22 (Jaguars cover)
giants +7.5 over EAGLES
I know I am riding the public dog here but I cannot help myself. I know Jalen Hurts and Lane Johnson (who can’t lay off the juice) is back. I know that the Eagles have had the extra week of rest. You know what I also know. Beating a team by a lot after you beat them by 26 in the first meeting (unless if that team is like you know Texans or Cardinals bad) is damn near impossible. Plus Daniel Coins is playing with more confidence than Justin Bieber at the bunny house. So give the me the Giants to cover could they win? Spoiler alert for my Sunday picks. I think the Giants have the best chance of all the road teams to win outright, However, I’ll say the birds survive.
Eagles Win 23-20 (Giants Cover)
BILLS -5.5 OVER bengals
You can tell the wise guys love it too because this line was Bills minus four earlier in the Week. But Drew the Bills barely beat IT Tech Mike McDaniel and the Miami Swimming Mammals with some guy named Skylar throwing wounded ducks all over the field. I am well aware of this but hear me out my friend. The Bills are a really good team (in my opinion probably the best in football their three losses were by a combined 8 points). They just came off their worst performance of the year and are going to play bad again? The Bengals cannot block right now and that is a problem against this defense. These circumstances are unusual but game is in Buf, that matters.
Bills Win 30-16
49ERS -4 OVER cowboys
I actually think the Cowboys have a real chance in this game on paper. They can pressure Brock Purdy with four and play coverage and have great athletes at every unit on defense. On offense they have the ability to throw over the top with Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb (which big plays is really the only possible way to get this defense). However, here is my one underlying problem and it is a problem. I trust this Cowboys team as much as I would trust dating a promiscuous college girl to you know not cheat on you. Mike McCarthy and playoff Dak Prescott have the stain of inconsistency and I cannot shake that stain, my smallest wager of the week here.
49ers Win 27-17
Last Week: 4-2
Regular Season: 136-125-11
