Conference Preview

by

And then there were 4. 28 teams are eliminated, and now we have the Titans vs Chiefs & the Packers ve 49ers…so who wins?

Wade & Ryan break down the Divisional Championship games, the look ahead to the games this weekend. Who do you have?

Titans (11-7) vs -7 Chiefs (13-4) + 53

The Titans have blasted their way through the playoffs on the legs of Derek Henry, while the Chiefs have obliterated teams with their offence.
If the Chiefs build a lead can Ryan Tanehil make a comeback?
Doubtful.
If Chris Carson is back, the Titans will have an uphill battle.
Both Wade & Ryan see the Chiefs through to the SuperBowl.
Chiefs WIN

Packers (14-3) vs -7.5 49ers (14-3)

The last time these two teams face off in week 12, it was an ugly game. The 49ers smoked the Pack 38-7 & shut down their whole running game. They also chased Rodgers across the field the whole day.
While the Pack have shored up their O Line, San Fran has a healthy D ready to pummel A Ron in every way.
Both Wade & Ryan see the Packers seeing close, but the 49ers should win this one.
Packers COVER.

Ryans Picks

by

Our man Ryan Cull is still smarting from his Bills being eliminated last weekend.
Will the sting of neglect still carry forward with him this weekend?
Time will tell, but more importantly his picks will.

We have included Ryans picks against the spread so that you can make your own picks based on Ryan’s expert NFL knowledge.
Will you take his advice?

Vikings vs -7 49ers

Ryan isn’t totally sold that the 49ers can put up the big boy points versus the Vikings. Minnesota has dusted off the ice and seems to be playing competitive football.
Ryan thinks that the 49ers will win, but that they won’t cover the full spread.
49ers 24 Vikings 21

Titans vs -9.5 Ravens

The Titans continue to impress as they knock off some of the top teams in the league, but can they knock off the top team? Ryan says ‘no’, but he does believe that this game will be closer than most think. He also picks Derek Henry to have a stellar game in the face of the D.
Ravens 30 Titans 23

Texans vs -9.5 Chiefs

The Texans are a team that Ryan hates right now. After dusting his Bills in the second half last week, he is looking for redemption in the form of a Chiefs beating. He thinks this will happen, with Kansas City easily covering the spread.
Chiefs 30 Texans 17

Seahawks vs -4 Packers

Ryan isn’t totally sold on the Packers either. Who have they beaten really, and have they done it impressively, or in need. The Seahawks are growing in confidence, but will too many injuries stop this party before it starts? Ryan wanted to take the Seahawks but just couldn’t do it. He does like them to cover though.
Packers 27 Seahawks 24

Wade’s DraftKings Line-Up

by

Do you even DFS bro?
It’s daily fantasy NFL time, and I have compiled a list of players that you could put on your DraftKings line-up.
I did, and I won money last week, so it’s up to you.

It’s always tricky when you only have 4 games to choose from, because there are the obvious choices, but you need to make sure that you grab the high value targets, as well as be able to splash out on some of the cheaper options that will still give you points.
With some injuries across a few of the teams, there is value to be had I tell ya!

Here are some of the picks I made for my teams.

QB

Jimmy Garoppolo $5600

Yes, I overlooked Lamar, Partrick, Aaron & Russell, because I am looking for value.
The 49ers should be able to put up some points on a Vikings D that is weak against the deep pass.
Whether it’s Samuel or more likely Kittle, Jimmy G will at least get 2-3 touchdowns at home.
For $5600, he’s good value to let me choose other players.

RB

Gus Edwards $4900

Mark Ingram’s back-up? Yep. Ingram is hurt, but likely to play, so how will he be used?
Edwards will be used in a power back role, as well as in goal line situations, which makes him a safe bet for a few points. The Ravens won’t want to be throwing him into the line of fire, especially if they have a lead. So look for Edwards to be used in key roles.

WR

Deebo Samuel $5200

Samuel has had a fantastic season, despite coming into fruition a little late in the game. He has speed, great hands and can really get some good yards going after the catch. For $5200 he is great value for potential points. He has the speed to mess up Minnesota in the back field, and I like him to be cagey for the Vikes to deal with.

Tyreek Hill $7600

Splash that cash baby! Watch for the cheetah to totally blow past the Texans D on Sunday. How are they going to contain a guy that is totally healthy and ready to rip them a new one? His should easily surpass 100 yards and at least 1 TD on Sunday, so make sure you make room for him in your line-up.

TE

George Kittle $6200

Kittle is the man! The main TE this season who can get open, make the big plays and gash for yards after the catch. I can’t see how the Vikings will contain him. There are too many big players to worry about, and Kittle finds the holes then rips them open even further. Worth the spend.

DEF

Chiefs $3200

Everyone is healthy and at home. If (when) the Chiefs start building up a lead, DeShaun Watson is going to have to shuttle that ball around. So if he makes a mistake, who gets it? That’s right, the Kansas D.

Other players I chose this week include: Emmanuel Sanders (SF) $5400, Marquise Brown (BAL) $4400 & Aaron Jones (GB) $7400

So there’s my line-up for this weekend.

To summarise some of our thoughts on the Wildcard Weekend in the NFL.

Bills vs Texans

Way to blow it Buffalo, your second half collapsed quicker than a homemade horse costume.
The Texans were good, but not great in disposing of a fast starting Bills team. Texans are in for a humbling vs the Chiefs this weekend.

Titans vs Patriots

Are the Patriots finally dead, or was it another off year? The Titans ran all over the Pats, and their vaunted D could barely stop the fast moving Henry. The Titans have to face the Ravens now, so enjoy your playoffs while they lasted.

Seahawks vs Eagles

The Eagles were finally showed the door to their place in the league this season. Wentz was hurt early, but it wouldn’t have mattered against the Seahawks team that is gaining confidence as it rises. Wade likes them a lot next Sunday.
