Alex Smith will take off a few times tonight There's only one more college game left. I'll have my pick in that monster game later.
And what that means is that there will only be NFL playoff games left too. I've struggled in the NFL to put it lightly. For the regualr season I went an abysmal 119-131-6. Although over the last four weeks things have picked up a bit going 46-28-0.
Hopefully that trend continues during the money rounds.
This weekend I'm going with
Kansas City -3.0 @ Houston - Two of the hottest teams outside of Charlotte face off in Houston. Kansas City is on a 10 game winning streak while Houston has gone 7-2 after starting 2-5 to clinch he NFC South.
Houston sustained a difficult injury when left OT Duane Brown went down in week 17. QB Brian Hoyer will get pummeled as the Chiefs have a strong pass rush. The secondary should also limit WR DeAndre Hopkins. KC is also have the 8th best pass rush while the Houston running attack is average. That means that Hoyer will have to try and dink and dunk his way down the field.
Kansas City has the king of the dink and dunk in QB Alex Smith. But Smith can also take the ball and run too - something Hoyer is not known for. Houston has an elite defense and should limit Spencer Ware and the running game.
Kansas City has lost eight straight playoff games. That streak comes to an end. I'll take Kansas City with a healthy offensive line and lay the points for a Mega Bet and and a quatloo on the under of 39

Antonio Brown has been trampling secondaries Cincinnati +2.0 vs Pittsburgh - Everyone is talking sbout how Pittsburgh is the "hottest team in league". Big Ben is back and with Antonio Brown, the Steelers are torching secondaries. All is good in Steel City right?
I'm not so sure. The Steeler defense is the worst of the playoff teams while Concinnati's is among the best. Sure, QB Andy Dalton will be sitting this game out with a broken thumb but he is best known for not winning in the playoffs. AJ McCarron will step in and will find TE Tyler Eifert. The Steelers have huge problems covering tight wnds. McCarron isn't a threat to stretch the field but he should be able to find AJ Green for a couple bombs.
I'll lay a Mega Bet on the underdog Bengals to win outright.
Anthony Barr was out they last time the Vikes played Seattle Minnesota +5.0 vs Seattle - Another red hot team - Seattle. I mean they destroyed Minnesota 38-7 back in week 13. The Seahawks should cruise - at least according to Vegas
I'm doubt it. Back in week 13 Minnesota was missing its three best defenders in DT Lindal Joeseph, LB Anthony Barr and DB Harrison Smith. Barr and Smith are expected to play while Smith is questionable. The Vikings will be much stronger than the last times these two met.
Seattle might be a little worse off. In the last meeting RB Lou Rawls went off for 109 yards on 19 carries. He will be out with a broken ankle. Marhsawn Lynch will also be out meaning that Seattle will start Christine Michael, a little used back that they traded to Dallas prior to the season.
The weather is going to be brutally cold something Minnesota should be a little more used too. I'll take the Vikings and the points at home for a Mega Bet and a quatloo on the under 40.0
Kirk Cousins has the better stats on Sunday Green Bay +1.0 vs Washington - Who would have thought that Kirk Cousins would have better stats than Aaron Rodgers? This Green Bay team is not your old Packers. They have been in a tailspin since a 6-0 start to the season. They also blew the NFC North title by losing their last two games.
Green Bay has relied more on the defense this year. They are sixth in sacks and so should keep pressure on Cousins and his sub par offfensive line.
Rodgers woes are that he can't go deep anymore and as bad as the Washington OL is. Green Bay's is worse. Where Green Bay has the advantage though is in the running game. Eddy Lacy and John Starks have been inconsistent but should get some yards against the Redskins league worst run defense. And the Washington secondary is chock full of holes so Rodgers should find his targets when he gets time.
Both teams have serious flaws so I'll take the playoff tested Pack and hte point. Just for a quatloo though
