2024 NFL Wild Card Round

According to heavy.com, Tua is 0-4 under 40 degrees. Tonight game is expected to be -7. 

 Cleveland Browns @ Houston Texans (+2) -  The Browns took care of the Texans fairly easily although they were missing CJ Stroud.  While Joe Flacco has been great, I see this as more of a toss up game.  It could be difficult for the Browns to win in the same manner twice in a row.  Even though the Texans are shorthanded.  The Texans even beat the Ravens earlier in the season.

Miami Dolphins @ Kansas City Chiefs (-4) - The Dolphins are dealing with several injuries and the weather could limit Tyreek Hill's effectiveness through the air.  The Chiefs are vulnerable due their lackluster regular season but typically pull it together at home.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+10) @ Buffalo Bills - Perhaps the Steelers can hang around in Buffalo due their running game and the Bills rush defense has been not as strong during times in the regular season.  Plus the Bills have managed to keep their games close against below average teams like the Patriots and Chargers.  Mason Rudolph isn't exactly a great quarterback but he is an upgrade over Mitch Trubisky.  The weather is not as terrible

Green Bay Packers (+7.5) @ Dallas Cowboys- The Packers are the youngest team to make the playoffs since the 1984 New England Patriots.   Jordan Love has closed the season strong.  Aaron Jones has been playing better.

Philadelphia Eagles (-3) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers -  The Eagles are going to be without AJ Brown.   Baker Mayfield is also banged up.   The Bucs may be a poor matchup for the Eagles given the blowout that happened earlier in the season although with the way the Eagles are playing, an upset could also happen.  

Los Angeles Rams (+3)(LOCK) @ Detroit Lions - Mathew Stafford returns home.  OC Ben Johnson has the Lions with a great offense but somehow I feel that Sean McVay can win the coaching matchup here.

Week 18 Straight Up - 13-3

Week 17 Locks - 4-0

2023 Against the Spread - 128-124-1
