Divisional Weekend wraps up today people and full disclosure I woke up today feeling like a combination of Josh Allen’s postgame presser and Bo Nix’s ankle: defeated and broken. Not just because we had an 0-2 Saturday but also because I woke up feeling like death. So you’ll have to excuse me if the writing isn’t my best today but hopefully the picks are good. Now as I had mentioned we had a rough Saturday as neither pick ended up delivering. It started off with the Bills who certainly had their chances to win but 5 giveaways was one too many. Then there’s the pathetic Niners who quite literally lost the game and the cover in the first 13 seconds. Needless to say I would like things to go better today but given the morning I’m having I got a bad feeling about my picks. Thankfully Brady’s Parlay of Day is back again and hopefully can pick up my slack. As always the picks wait for no man and now there’s only 5 games left so let’s get into it.
Texans (+3) @ Patriots
Similar to the Bills/Broncos game I was torn about this one all week. I could easily see this going either way but eventually settled on the Texans. Both these teams played nearly identical games on Wild Card weekend with their defenses absolutely abusing the opposing quarterback on the way to seemingly easy wins. However even though both these games ended up being blowouts the box score didn’t tell the full story. On offense both these teams also struggled to protect their own QB with Stroud and Maye taking numerous sacks and having multiple turnovers. So in the end what had me leaning Houston was they have a slightly better defense and that’s about it. The weather is also gross so I can see this being another sloppy one. So just like last week don’t worry Pats fans you got someone to yell at today because I’m riding with H-Town.
Texans +3 (+102)
Rams (-6.5) @ Bears
Since I’m running low on effort and mental energy I’ll keep it brief. I hate Ben Johnson and think Caleb Williams stinks half the time. I just think their luck with these improbable comebacks has to dry up and I moved the spread because it needed some extra juice. I also backed the Rams because I don’t want my cousin Jesse mad at me so I’d rather be wrong than rile him up. So that’s the pick, lots of hate and a little bit of support for the big guy.
Rams -6.5 (+115)
Brady’s ParlayS of the Day
We finally got back in the win column last weekend and I’ve been hot with my bets overall so let’s keep it rolling for divisional round Sunday! I have two SGPs for you for today to change things up and give us a shot to make some good money today.
First up is the Pats and Texans in what I think is going to be a close, low scoring, defensive battle. The Texans defense is legit and their offense is average at best especially now with the loss of Nico Collins. I expect a lot of kicking in this game so here’s the parlay.
AFC Parlay: Borregales 3+ FG made, Fairbairn 2+ FG made, Under 40.5 (+1000)
On the NFC side of things I’m expecting a lot more offense in this one. Both teams put up high numbers in their wild card games and I expect that trend to continue today. I expect the Rams to pull this one out but I do think it will be close.
NFC Parlay: Puka Nacua Anytime TD, Over 48.5, Bears +4.5 (+500)
If you want to get a little crazy and put them together it’s +6500. I won’t say I’ll recommend it but I also won’t say I’m not throwing 5$ on that haha
