HOUSTON TEXANS (+7.5) @ BALTIMORE RAVENS I think you go points here. The Texans defense should be able to keep the Texans in this game. Both defenses give up an average of 17 PPG. Both offenses score about 24 PPG. This is a very even matchup. I think this spread should be more like +4.5. Houston is giving up just 85.7 rushing yards per game in their last 3. I think you see the Texans hold the Ravens to a touchdown or less. But then again, you’re asking for a lot from T.J. Yates against the Ravens defense in the playoffs. Prediction: Ravens 24 – Texans 17 Pick Against the Spread: Texans +7.5 (Confidence: 2/5) NEW YORK GIANTS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS (-7.5) I’m an Eagles fan, you think I’m going to take the Giants? Aaron Rodgers baby! Prediction: Packers 38 – Giants 24 Pick Against the Spread: Packers -7.5 (Confidence: 3/5)

Hype Is the Only Thing Packers Haven't Achieved This Season

If there's one thing the NFL does better than just about everyone else in the world, it is hype.
