TEAMS: Houston Texans, Baltimore Ravens, Green Bay Packers, New York Giants
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)

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

It will be harder this time for Eli Manning and the Giants at Lambeau Field, even if the weather conditions aren’t supposed to be. It is a better Packers team this time and a better Packers quarterback. The Giants go up against 15-1 this time at Lambeau, go up against Aaron Rodgers having as great a regular season as any quarterback has ever had, in Green Bay or anywhere else.
