I got a win! After starting out 0-5 I finally got one correct when Tennessee demolished Baltimore last night. Derrick Henry looks like he is on a mission,
With a playoff best one game winning streak, I'll try to continue the streak with:
Kansas City -9.5 vs Houston – It’s the only rematch of the Divisional Playoff weekend. Deshaun Watson was fantastic in week 6, going 30-of-42 for 280 yards, while scoring three touchdowns. Kansas City had absolutely no answer for him in a 31-24 Houston upset.
But there were several key players missing for the Chiefs that weekend. Chris Jones, one of the best DL’s in the league was out and Terrell Suggs was not on the team. KC’s defense will be much better this time around, even with Jones getting dinged up this week
The Chiefs were also missing OT Eric Fisher and OG Andrew Wylie and star WR Sammy Watkins in the first game. Mahomes will have a much cleaner pocket to find Watkins this time around.
Kansas City is fantastic in the regular season but stinks in the post season. They are 1-7 SU in the last eight playoff games at Arrowhead. Teams seeking revenge have not fared well the second time around either. Dating back to 2015, teams that lost the regular season meeting and hooked up in the second round of the playoffs posted a 3-7 SU and 5-4-1 ATS record. Favorites own a 1-2-1 ATS mark in this stretch with the lone chalk team to win and cover being the Falcons in 2016.
Despite the history, I’m taking the Chiefs to cover the big number. Houston’s secondary sucks and Mahomes will light it up. Houston got off to a slow start last week. If they do the same today, the Chiefs will have the cover easily in the first half.

Green Bay -3.5 vs Seattle – I was all ready to take Seattle to cover vs Green Bay. Jadeveon Clowney, Quandre Diggs and Shaq Griffin are back and fully healthy for the Seahawks. They will give Aaron Rodgers plenty of problems.
Green Bay is a very fraudulent 13-3. The Packers barely beat the Lions, Panthers and Bears at home, and none of those teams made the playoffs. They needed some luck and a Kenny Golladay concussion to defeat the David Blough-led Lions in Week 17. Statsitically, the Packers are the worst team left in the playoffs other than Houston.
And then I came across this, Clete Blakeman will reffing the game. Blakeman has a man-love for Rodgers and the Packers. Every time Green Bay wins on controversial penalties, Blakeman’s crew are the refs. Remember when the Lions were on their way to upsetting the Packers and then the refs started calling hands to the face on the Lions? Yup Blakeman.

The guy is on the take. This game will be tight and then Blakeman will give his crush, Rodgers, the win.
