Wild card weekend was fun but it is on to the division round. Just two games today and two games tomorrow as we narrow the field.
The two one seeds are up today. It could be a big advantage coming off of a bye, everybody healthy, and playing at home.
Bengals at Titans
I don’t know what to think about the Titans, they have been pretty hot and cold this year. They’ve lost to some bad teams over the course of the season. What I do know is that Derrick Henry is back and will be fresh and ready to go and that could be a huge help. I am here for Joey B though, he seems unstoppable right now. Their offense looked like they were firing on all cylinders last week, let’s see if it is enough to topple the Titans.
49ers at Packers
The Packers run defense isn’t all that good. The last time these two teams met Deebo wasn’t being used in the run game yet. Jimmy has never played in the cold, so he may prefer to hand it off today. Add all of that up and I think we get some Deebo rushing yards.
Aaron’s been so good this year, but the 49ers have been his Achilles heel in the past. Their defense had 5 sacks against Dallas and that’s the pressure that Rodgers will have to face. Randall Cobb is back, giving him yet another weapon though. Allen Lazard has been used pretty heavily the past few games and I’m anticipating that connection to continue.
This is the game I’ve been most confident about. The Packers have been the only team truly dominating this year. Kyle and Matt coached together at a few different places before, we’ll see if the #1 coach (head coach hotness poll) can pull it off against his former colleague.
This feels like a great game for a parlay. FanDuel has a risk free $10 bet this week, so I went heavy on the odds with this one.
Division Round Picks
Last week I was 5 of 6 on my picks. My soft spot for the Raiders almost paid off, but ended up being my only miss. I have been all over the place with who is coming out on top this weekend, this is where I’m landing.
Titans over Bengals
Packers over 49ers
Bucs over Rams
Bills over Chiefs
