Agree/Disagree With Colin Cowherd’s Blazing 5 Divisional Round NFL Picks
Colin has had two rough weeks in a row. In Week 17, he went 0-5 ATS, then last week he somehow went 0-4 SU picking the four NFL Wild Card games. For the second round, he said he’d only be betting one game with the spread, and that’s after he released his straight-up winners for all four games. His final score predictions for three of the games were right on the nose spread-wise, so it’s hard to take much from a gambling perspective. Unless, of course, you’re trying to do a four-game moneyline parlay or something with Colin’s picks.

Agree or Disagree?
San Francisco 27, Minnesota 20 — DISAGREE
I also like San Francisco to win outright, I just don’t see this many points being scored. One of my favorite bets of the weekend is UNDER 44 in this game.
Baltimore 31, Tennessee 20 — AGREE
Baltimore is tough against the run and that’s really all the Titans have going for them right now. Plus, the Ravens have had a few weeks of legit rest. Expect Lamar and the fanbase to be in rare form in this game. They’re 7-1 ATS in their last eight playoff games and the Ravens defense has held seven of their last eight opponents under 20 points. Skip likes Tennessee outright — Colin and I don’t. I’m OK with that.
Kansas City 33, Houston 23 — AGREE
If there’s one team I don’t trust in these playoffs, it’s the Houston Texans, and the matchup is horrible for them. Their defense ranked 28th in yards per play this year, meaning Patrick Mahomes is going to have a field day. Kansas City has the second-best mark when it comes to yards per play and their defense isn’t as bad as some people make it out to be. I do like the UNDER 51, though, so keep that in mind.
Green Bay 27, Seattle 23 — AGREE
This is probably the game of the weekend. Rodgers vs. Wilson. Both have a ton of playoff experience and both legacies could use another Super Bowl appearance. The Packers defense and home-field advantage is what gives them the edge here, though. The Packers are 5-1 ATS in their last six postseason games, while Seattle has had zero ATS wins in their last six games at Green Bay.
