Cincinnati (+4) at Houston - This is a popular pick…almost popular enough to make me want to change it. However, Matt Schaub has never played in a playoff game and has looked generally mediocre the final month of the season.

The Bengals are quietly very good on defense, good enough to think they will be within 3 points and maybe steal a win.
Green Bay (-8) vs. Minnesota - There is nothing comfortable about betting against Adrian Peterson. Yet, sometimes it is as simple as Christian Ponder in Lambeau in January. What hap...

'Mad scientist' turns around Redskins' defense
