NFL Divisional Playoffs

Italicized for win


Bolded for spread



Atlanta (-2.5) @ Philadelphia- This could be a close game because the Eagles still have a solid running game and decent defense.  That being said, Matt Ryan is the superior quarterback to Nick Foles and the Eagles's secondary has had trouble containing deep passing threats like Julio Jones.

Tennessee @ New England (-13.5) - Provided that Marcus Mariota hasn't perfected the pass to himself, the Patriots find themselves in a good position to cover here.  Derrick Henry's size could give the Patriots defense problems but the Patriots have been taking care of business lately.

Jacksonville @ Pittsburgh (-7)  - While the Steelers lost to the Jaguars earlier this season, this should give them the added motivation to take the Jaguars more seriously.  The Jaguars' offense has been sputtering behind Bortles who only threw for 87 yards last week against the Bills and could get worse for him from a karma standpoint after comparing himself to LeBron James.

New Orleans (+5.5) @ Minnesota -  This is a tossup game.  The Vikings have a better defense and playing in a dome should give them the advantage.  That being said, it would not surprise me if the Saints make it close especially with all the offensive weapons they have.
