Divisonal Playoffs Round

Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, and Lamar Jackson 
are representing the 2018 draft class 
All getting their first playoff win last week


Los Angeles Rams @ Green Bay Packers (-7) - The pathway for the Rams to keep it close is to run the ball with Cam Akers on a below average defense.   Aaron Donald should be good to go although Cooper Kupp is still a game-time decision.    Still, the Rams appear to be underrated coming off a nice win slowing down a Seahawks offense.   If Jalen Ramsey can contain DK Metcalf, he can potentially do it to Adams. Still, Jared Goff could struggle with his broken thumb and the cold weather could favor the Packers running game.  Rodgers is great in cold weather games, Davante Adams has been tough to slow down, and Aaron Jones could be unleashed more.

Baltimore Ravens @ Buffalo Bills (-2.5)(LOCK )-  The Ravens did well against the Titans but they were supposed to against a below average Titans defense.  The Bills did not cover against the Colts but still played extremely well considering that Rivers played lights out.  Josh Allen may be able to overcome the Ravens blitzing defense.  The Ravens can keep this came within a touchdown.

Cleveland Browns (+10)Kansas City Chiefs - The Browns were fortunate in the win against the Steelers.  That being said, the Chiefs have not been taking care of business either in putting away opponents by a comfortable margin. Jarvis Landry has been a bit underrated as top catching receiver plus the Browns can keep it close with their running game.   

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) @ New Orleans Saints - The Saints did not play that well against the Bears but go against a division rival that they have handily taken of.  That being said, the Bucs have had more continuity with Brady in Rob Arians system, Rob Gronkowski and Antonio Brown getting back into shape.    Drew Brees not playing at the top of his game makes me nervous for the Saints to perform optimally although Kamara is more than capable of carrying the load.
