Cincinnati +4 - Going with the hotter team here. Cincy has won 7 of last 8 games and is 7-1 ATS in those games. Houston is just 2-5 ATS in last 7 games. Could be worth throwing a small bet on the moneyline as well.
Green Bay -7.5 - I don't like laying more than 7 in the NFL so maybe it's better to combine GB as part of a teaser bet. But I do think oddsmakers are pretty confident in the Packers winning this game when they set the line at more than a touchdown. GB hasn't lost at home since week 1 and it's an instant revenge game. Packers beat Minny at home by 9 so I think it will be close to that score. About a 10 point win for GB.
Sunday
Baltimore -6.5 - Baltimore is just a different team at home where they have a 6-2 record including wins over Cincy, New England, Giants, and Dallas. I'm still not sold on Indy despite the win last week. They are the only NFL playoff team who has been outscored by their opponents.
Washington +3 - I do think Seattle is the better team. I actually think the Seahawks are the 3rd best team in the NFL behind Denver and San Francisco. However, they still haven't proven they can consistently win on the road. They are only 37 percent ATS on road since 2002. This year they were only 3-5 on the road and none of the 3 wins were against playoff teams. And 4 of the 5 road losses were against non-playoff teams. So while I do like the way Seattle has played lately winning 5 in a row, the Skins are even hotter winning their last 7 and I will gladly take them as a home dog.

2-2 last week. If I knew RG3 was hurt as badly as he was I would've taken the Hawks.
Divisional Playoffs
Denver -9 - I'm a little concerned that it's going to be extremely cold in Denver and that Peyton struggles in cold weather. But I still think they are the best team in the NFL and they've just been playing so well lately (4-0 ATS in last 4 games) that I'm going to go ahead and lay the points with a small bet.
San Francisco -2.5 - Public loves Green Bay and Aaron Rogers so I'm going the other way. It kind of irritates me when people criticize Harbaugh for making Kaepernick the starter. He's the better QB with way more upside. Smith had slightly better passing numbers but Kaepernick averages 6.6 yards per carry. Harbaugh is doing the same thing Pete Carroll is doing in Seattle. Using a mobile QB with a good running game and a conservative passing game-it's an effective offense. Justin Smith is questionable but even if he doesn't play the 49ers cover this.
Seattle +3 and ML - Despite the records Seattle is the better team. Atlanta played a pretty soft schedule. Atlanta has actually been outgained in yards 4 of their last 5 games. The Seahawks have won 6 in a row and are peaking at the right time.
Houston +9.5 - I really don't think this is going to be like the last meeting when the Pats blew out Houston. The Texans will obviously be a little more motivated in this one. While I do think the Pats will win the game, I think it will only be by about a TD.

San Francisco -3.5 - I just think San Francisco is better on both sides of the line and the Atlanta defense will have problems stopping Kaepernick. I think the oddsmakers tipped their hand on this game making SF a 3.5 favorite instead of a 3 point fav.
Baltimore +8 - Think this line is pretty accurate but dogs of more than 7 in the playoffs win about 60 percent of the time since 2002. I'm pretty 50-50 on this one because I do think the Pats win by about this margin but in the NFL it's better to take the big dog most of the time.
