The NFL Playoffs are here.
Oakland Raiders @ Houston Texans
Pick: Texans
Connor Cook vs Brock Osweiler!? Is this a preseason game? Osweiler nearly led the Texans to a defeat of a Derek Carr-led Raiders team in Mexico City earlier this season. Maybe he can play like that again.
Detroit Lions @ Seattle Seahawks
Pick: Seahawks
The Seahawks haven't looked like their usual late-season selves. They should still find a way to win at home.
Miami Dolphins @ Pittsburgh Steelers
Pick: Steelers
The Dolphins have had a terrific season but the Steelers look like they could be a postseason buzz saw. No other team in the playoffs can boast a playmaking trio that rivals Ben Roethlisberger, Le'Veon Bell, and Antonio Brown. If those three play like they did down the stretch against the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day the Steelers will be tough to beat. It's hard to believe that Bell will be playing in his first playoff game.
New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers
Pick: Packers
When I think about how great Aaron Rodgers has been playing I think about a Packers defense that gave up about 450 yards to the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago. The Giants defense has been great. If Eli Manning can bring his playoff magic the Giants could go on a postseason run. Until I see Manning do again what he often does in January I'll stick with Rodgers at home.
There it is. These picks should not be used with gambling in mind.
