LAR @ SEA -2.5 (W) O46.5

Walker COOKED the 49ers near-top-10 run D last week (6.1 YpC & 3 tuds). The Rams - who survived the Bears behind 3 Caleb INTs & some stout 4th-down stands - are statistically similar in that area. Whichever QB does more than last week tips the scales.

NEP -4 (W) @ DEN U43

The Nix injury & Stidham "revenge" angle dominates this one. Not much revenge when you were a 4th-round guy on the roster during the "panini". He's a 60% passer with a 1:1 ratio & a rating under 80. All love for Denver but he's not beating this Pats defense.

LAR (W) @ CHI +4 O48

The Over here feels like a gimme. It's not a great hedge but I feel like just a FG separates it (these teams won by 7pts COMBINED last week). Stafford has averaged 272 pass yds/gm vs. CHI in 22 games; the Bears defense may need a miracle in this one.
January 16, 2026 at 11:17 PM
HOU @ NEP -3.5 (W) U41

HOU came alive midseason, winners of 5 straight road games incl. last week. The competition jump is large here, plus no Nico Collins. Stroud beat Maye head-to-head in 2024; unless Woody Marks pops off for another 100+, I don't see it happening again.
January 16, 2026 at 11:17 PM
SF49 +7 (W) @ SEA U45

All SF did all year was overcome injuries (Kittle is devastating) and win on the road (7-2 + last week, 5 straight). Purdy has owned SEA in his career, winning 6/8, where Darnold has been tepid vs. SF: 2-2, avg. sub-200 pass yds. Niners with the upset.
January 16, 2026 at 11:17 PM
BUF @ DEN -1.5 (W) O46

Bills just 5-3 on the road this year but have won 4 straight incl. last week. Broncos only lost once at home all year. BUF can't afford to get doubled-up on the ground again. Nix has never played BUF before; Allen is 2-1 vs. DEN. Tight, but gimme Denver.

HOU -3 (W) @ PIT O38

Some dubious "CJ Stroud in cold weather" stats out there. The Texans defense has been crushing, with last week being their sole 30-points-allowed game of 2025. Rodgers has not thrown an INT in 2 months. Something's gotta give. Gimme the championship defense.
January 10, 2026 at 1:55 AM
LAC @ NEP -3.5 (W) U46

Don't ask me to trust Justin Herbert in colder weather with some rain. It's just not a thing. The Pats get this matchup at a good time as well with a questionable Omarion Hampton (still expect him to play). Two excellent defenses but love the Pats here.
January 10, 2026 at 1:55 AM
SF49 +5.5 (W) @ PHI U44

What breaks first - Purdy, Hurts, or these secondaries? In windy conditions, 5.5pts on the spread is too much, but for my money, I think the Niners win this thing outright. Lotta questions to be answered in Philly this offseason - starting with the coach.
January 10, 2026 at 1:55 AM
BUF -1 (W) @ JAX U51.5

The Bills have reached their true impasse. If a deep run cannot be achieved here in a Mahomes-less and largely untested AFC Playoffs - even as a 6 seed - the case can be made for blowing this up. I question the Trevor Lawrence arrival. Gimme Josh Allen.
January 10, 2026 at 1:55 AM
GBP -2 (W) @ CHI O44.5

A few flurries in the forecast won't mean a thing to these two. It's a team game, but a healthy Josh Jacobs, who has gashed the Bears for 320 total yards & 3 TD since coming to Green Bay, completely changes the formula. The ground game decides this one.
January 10, 2026 at 1:55 AM
LAR (W) @ CAR +10.5 U45.5

The Rams had the NFL's top total & pass offense in 2025 which will really press Carolina's middle-of-the-pack secondary. If the Rams have a defensive crutch, it's the pass; can Bryce Young produce the game of his life? Some rain may impact this one.

Due to other results the Pats can't fall below 2 so I think they rest & lose to MIA. Cards roll (over) for draft equity. Lions are hungry. Eagles IMO rest & don't care who they play.

Yes, I do genuinely believe the Jags still blow the division. Losing to the Titans is very Jags. Packers D is still good enough to cover +9.5. Bills are gunning for that 5th seed.
