Quick Hits!
Ok….time to see if the momentum from last week’s games carries into this week against the bye teams that are somewhere between rested, rusty and a little bit healed. All the playoff games are rematches so they know each other well. Home teams are on the left followed by their won-loss and PR.
Saturday games
New England (14-2) 45.64 vs Houston (10-7) 22.94
The Patriots are favored by a big number at 13 ½ (opened at 16) but already beat the Texans in Foxborough the 3rd week of the season 27-0….without QB Tom Brady. Houston is 2-6 on the road with NE 6-2 at home. Texan’s D looked good last week in beating crippled Oakland 27-14 but this is a whole other animal here.
Atlanta (11-5) 29.30 vs Seattle (11-5-1) 28.75
Atlanta is favored by 4 ½ in what looks like a super game. They are 5-3 at home and were hot before the bye week winning their last 4 games. Seattle is 3-4-1 on the road coming off an impressive home win against Detroit 26-6. They beat Atlanta at home Oct 2nd, 26-24.
Sunday game
Kansas City (12-4) 34.50 vs Pittsburgh (12-5) 34.65
KC giving 2 seems like a dream come true tho that could change based on Steeler QB Ben Roethlisberger’s injury status after wearing the boot last week. Big Ben is tough as nails and will play and already has a win against Chiefs Oct 2nd at Heinz, 43-14. KC is 6-2 at home, Pit 5-3 on the road.
Dallas (13-3) 38.75 vs Green Bay (11-6) 27.72
This is another dicey one with the Cowboys giving red hot Green Bay 4 points. They crushed the Pack back on Oct 16th 30-6 at Lambeau so this one could get chippie. Dal is 7-1 at home, GB 4-4 on road. A lot of rookies in Dallas’ backfield and Rodgers is in a groove! Began the year 4-6, but now on a 7 game tear looking to settle up with the Boys.
