I didn't see one so I figured I would start one.

On my site, the lines are as followed:

Raiders +4 at Texans
Lions +8 at Seahawks
Dolphins +10 at Steelers
Giants +4.5 at Packers

Thoughts?

Assuming Seattle beats Detroit, do we think Atlanta will be a 3-4 point favorite against Seattle in the Divisional Round? Mostly because of Seattle's past success and the Falcons being the Failcons.

Hopefully that's the line. Because I think Atlanta would skull frick Seattle.

I think you're looking at 4.5-5 honestly.

Look at the SB odds, everyone has caught on and they're not getting the benefit of the doubt because they're Seattle

Wouldn't feel comfortable with any of the favorites tbh.
Lions and Raiders look good./ Could probably wait a little more on the Raiders

I don't like any of them this weekend yet, tbh.

Can the Raiders score any points?

Lions are not the same since Stafford's hand injury, plus they're playing twelve this week.

Steelers will certainly win, but by double digits?

Packers/ Giants is a toss-up. Over 44 here will probably be my play unless the weather is an issue. If so, Packers will be the play.

Really don't like any of those games except dolphins +10 and even that is ehhhh


I might stick to some O/U or prop bets to make these games fun to watch, but I don't like the spreads

Texans over Raiders

Seattle will stomp the Lions. I'm confident in that one.

Pittsburgh by double digits.

Giants possibly win outright.

I think the high temp on game day is 12. Most of the game will be single digit temps

I will take the points, thank you.

1. Dolphins beat them early in the season.

2. I don't give 10 points to any NFL team.
Oh heck. Forgot qb is out.

The Dolphins also had their starting QB and a healthy Ajayi at home. Big Ben is shite water Carter on the road also.

I actually think the cold helps the Giants. They won that NFC championship where it was below 0, it's tough to pass when it's freezing.

I think 4.5 is too much for the Giants.

Green Bay's offensive line will struggle, IMO. Giants defense is legit.

I'd take Pittsburg -6.5 1h, GB -3 1h and Houston -3.5 full game.

Totally agree on NYG.

I'll go with Texans, Lions, Giants and Steelers (no Tannehill plus Dolphins 29th ranked D gets lit up).

Went on a crazy hot streak last weekend, but I'm going to take this weekend off and get after it again next weekend.

Although I kinda do like Packers and Texans, but that's probably because the Packers have been my go to cover the last half of the season. Which isn't really a good reason to bet in the playoffs.
