NFL WILDCARD PLAYOFFS – Predictions (Projected odds makers @ JAN.3.2020 – 12:00PM EST) 

Saturday JAN.4

Buffalo @ Houston (Favorite)

Caesars -3

SugarHouse -2.5

Unibet -2.5

SportSelect -2.5

The Buffalo Bills have found their way into the playoffs once again marking two of the last three years they have played in the postseason. With Josh Allen poised to start in his first playoff game, we wonder if the jitters will take over early marking for a few uneven throws. Buffalo has a top-notch defense that will matchup up well against the Texans and should make life difficult for Deshaun Watson. Establishing the run game will be paramount for the Bills to control this game.

The Texans on the other hand have been here before and should make the best of things while playing at home. With recent news that JJ Watt is retuning to action in this contest after suffering a torn pectoral earlier this season, that will be a massive lift for the defense. However, it appears Houston could be without Will Fuller, and possibly Bradley Roby which will be huge for this club. We completely understand the spread given from Vegas, but we truly feel this will be a very close contest either way. One point could be the difference in this one.

ADF: HOU doesn’t cover the spread @ -3 BUF 19 HOU 22 (L)

@SoJashPicks: HOU covers the spread @ -2.5 BUF 19 HOU 22 (W)

Tennessee @ New England (Favorite)

Caesars -5

SugarHouse -4.5  

Unibet -4.5

SportSelect -4.5

Of all the contests on wildcard weekend, this one we could see an upset happen more so than not. The Titans are a club we have backed since Ryan Tannehill took over as the starter and should provide a good level of positive plays verse the stout Patriots defense. Derrick Henry will be the obvious vocal point in the match to control the clock while keeping the ball out of Tom Brady’s hands.

New England on the other hand is coming off a terrible loss to the Dolphins last week which forced them to play on the opening weekend of the playoffs. Typically, we would have no problem endorsing the Patriots at home in the postseason, but we really wonder if they have enough to be that same dominating team. Stopping Henry will be job one and will surly be the difference in this one. New England has the upper hand, but we won’t be shocked to see them lose this game.

ADF: NE doesn’t cover the spread @ -5 TEN 20 NE 13 (W)

@SoJashPicks: NE doesn’t cover the spread @ -4.5 TEN 20 NE 13 (W)

Sunday JAN.5

Minnesota @ New Orleans (Favorite)

Caesars -7.5

SugarHouse -7.5

Unibet -7.5

SportSelect -8.5

This could perhaps be the best contest on the weekend slate as we have a great affinity for both clubs and how they’ve played all season. The Vikings have taken a side step these past couple weeks and it has everything to do with the injury to Dalvin Cook. This offense roles through Cook to help Kirk Cousins set up the pass. With all reports suggesting that Cook will be back to a full-go for this matchup, we should see a much better offensive game plan from Minnesota.

When we discuss the Saints and how many things they do right, its very tough to suggest the fact that the Vikings will have much of a shot in this one. Drew Brees has this offense rolling while the defense is one of the better units in the league. Even as Minnesota also holds a stout defensive side, Brees should have no issue picking them apart for majority of the game. This spread could be ruined late, but we’ll bite on the fact that New Orleans was our pick from day one to go to the super bowl.

ADF: NO covers the spread @ -7.5 MIN 26 NO 20 (L)

@SoJashPicks: NO covers the spread @ -7.5 MIN 26 NO 20 (L)

Seattle (Favorite) @ Philadelphia

Caesars -1.5

SugarHouse -1.5  

Unibet -1.5

SportSelect -1.5

For the last contest on the weekend slate, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves on the road with a better record to face off against the Eagles. Russell Wilson and this offense has been forced to change their approach with the loss of Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny. Losing the full appeal of a dominating run attack, we will again see Wilson be the catalyst to move the ball with any regularity.  

While the Hawks seem to have bad luck on their side, the Eagles found great fortune when they hammered the Giants last week securing a home game by division winning default. Either way, this Eagles team has been decimated with injury and will again come into this one extremely shorthanded. We struggle to envision any situation where the Eagles will be overly explosive leaving Seattle to take advantage. Wilson will be the difference in this one.

ADF: SEA covers the spread @ -1.5 SEA 17 PHI 9 (W)

@SoJashPicks: SEA doesn’t cover the spread @ -1.5 SEA 17 PHI 9 (L)
