Wildcard Saturday: Ahhh Sh*t He's Back

That's right, this blog isn't dead! Just took some time off.

Saturday:

Browns -2.5 @ Texans

Joe Flacco and a good defense. Have we seen this before? YEP. And he didn't just win a wildcard game, he won the Super Bowl with that team.

Texans winning a playoff game? 4 times in their entire franchise history. Now they have to do it with a rookie QB. I don't see it happening.

Give me rock-steady Flacco, Amari Cooper, and that defense. -2.5 is perfect, I'd take it all the way to -6.5!

Dolphins +5 @ Chiefs

Holy crap the weather is a huge factor in this one. Some players might not leave KC with all their toes.

This is the toughest game to pick of this entire round. In a dome or Miami? I'm taking Dolphins -10. In snow and LITERALLY subzero temps? I'm still taking Dolphins but not comfortably. +5 seems fair, I got it early in the week at +4.5. I like Dolphins to win outright, but in a close game.

Chiefs have a good defense that will be helped by the weather....but Dolphins have too much talent and speed, even if the ball has to stay on the ground and they're a little dinged up.

Looking at the Chiefs last 5-6 games, they look like they're lucky to have made the playoffs. They lost to the Raiders, Bills, Packers, in the last 6 weeks AND barely beat weak teams like the Patriots, Bengals, Chargers the other 3 weeks. So they lost to mediocre teams (ok we'll see about the Bills), and beat the worst teams in the league...? Now they face a great coach with great talent and only have snow/freezing temps on their side.

Give me Dolphins in a fun one to watch tonight if its not cancelled or postponed!

I bet both games individually and parlayed them. All point spreads, but did a separate bet on the Dolphins moneyline since I like them to win outright as an underdog (gimme those odds!). :)

GOOD LUCK TODAY!
