Los Angeles Rams (-10.5) @ Carolina Panthers - Saturday, January 10 (4:30PM) (FOX)
The Panthers upset the Rams during the regular season, and honestly, that’s a reason we like the Rams to win big here. Sean McVay will have been studying that tape like a mad man. The Panthers have taken a step in earning this home game, but they’re far from ready.
Especially for a team that was the No. 1 seed in the league until a few weeks ago. Bryce Young played his first prime time game in multiple seasons against the 49ers earlier this year, and he completely turtled. I think we see something similar here.
Teaser Pick: Rams (-4.5)
Green Bay Packers (-1.5) @ Chicago Bears - Saturday, January 10 (8PM) (Prime)
This will be the third meeting this season for these division rivals. In the first game, the Packers won 28-21, with Caleb Williams throwing a prayer towards the end zone on the final play to no avail. In the return fixture in Chicago, the Packers were dominating for most of the game, only for the Bears to engineer an insane comeback that included an onside kick and a 46-yard game-winning TD in OT.
There won’t be an onside kick to save the Cardiac Bears this time. Green Bay had an extra week to heal up, and they look as close to 100 percent health as they’re going to be this season.
Teaser Pick: Packers (+4.5)
Buffalo Bills (-1.5) @ Jacksonville Jaguars - Sunday, January 11 (1PM) (CBS)
A lot of people are high on this Jaguars team. And fair enough. They have won eight games in a row, but we still don’t trust Trevor Lawrence in the playoffs. First-year head coach as well. They beat up on the Broncos a few weeks ago, but we’re not really sold on that team either anyway.
Meanwhile, Josh Allen may not be able to beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the playoffs, but he’s pretty much beat every other team he’s played in the postseason. He knows this might be his only chance with the Mahomes machine in his way, and we think the 2024 MVP is going to play with a desperate prowess the Jaguars won’t be able to contend with.
Teaser Pick: Bills (+4.5)
San Francisco 49ers (+4.5) @ Philadelphia Eagles - Sunday, January 11 (4:30PM) (FOX)
The logical pick here would be the Eagles. They are favored at home, they have beaten the 49ers in the playoffs recently, and the 49ers are far from healthy and coming off a big loss. However, we think those are also reasons to like San Fran here.
Philly is only 2-3 ATS in their last five as a home favorite. That 2023 NFCCG win against the Niners featured Christian McCaffrey at QB. San Francisco is used to the next-man-up mentality at this point. And a big loss should really motivate them to bounce back. Especially on offense. They’ve lost three times by double-digits this season, and they won by double-digits the next week every time. Philly’s defense is nowhere near the level of Seattle’s.
Teaser Pick: 49ers (+10.5)
Los Angeles Chargers @ New England Patriots (-3.5) - Sunday, January 11 (8PM) (NBC)
This was probably the toughest game to pick here, but we actually feel pretty good about the Patriots here. Drake Maye will have a few shaky moments, but Justin Herbert has never shown poise in the postseason either. And once again, he will be behind a ravaged offensive line. We think that will be the biggest factor, as Herbert and his broken hand will be running for his life in this one. The Chargers felt like a pick with so many points, but we can’t escape a bad feeling about Herbert’s playoff history.
Teaser Pick: Patriots (+2.5)
Houston Texans @ Pittsburgh Steelers (+3.0) - Monday, January 12 (8:15PM) (ESPN)
The Texans may have the top defense in the league, but they gave up 30 points to Riley Leonard last week. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers seems to be hitting his stride at just the right time, and with D.K. Metcalf back in the mix here, we believe Pittsburgh can do enough on offense. They have the second-best ATS record in the league as a home dog (15-6-1) since 2019, and the defense has really come together over the last month.
Over the last four games, Pittsburgh has allowed the fewest rushing yards in the league. And their 12 sacks are tied for sixth during that time. After the way that Week 18 game ended, there’s got to be some fate and destiny going on here to end Pittsburgh’s oft-mentioned playoff win drought, which stretches back to 2017.
Teaser Pick: Steelers (+9.0)
