DK NFL Divisional Round

Don't think you will be surprised....

49ers +7.5(-110)

49ers ml +300 *small*

Texans +2.5(-105)

Texans ml +129 *small*

Plus pending futures and exacta bets with these two. I have never hit an exacta bet in my life but have came close almost twice just short of one round. I will be elated if it happens. I've hit only 2 Super Bowl futures when Ravens won in 2012 and Broncos in 2015 feels like I'm long overdue. As always good luck gentlemen 

Hey, why not it could happen. Good luck on these two plays, DK!  

@Digitalkarma

 Like Both Unders 1st halves as well....

@Digitalkarma

  What are your Exacta bets?.....btw you looking at Bears +3.5...Broncos +1.5 as well?

@Europa

 Thank you! 

@lmb4321

 I'll be looking at those too but decision later in the week. My exacta is Texans over Niners and Niners over Texans both at +15000

Good luck DK.  

Nice! BOL to you I hope they hit!  

I'm liking Niners & Bills but no plays yet. 

If stroud plays like he did yesterday it might be a Long day for the Texans 

@WilliamMunny

 If stroud plays like he did yesterday it might be a Long day for the Texans 

I doubt that he has two crap games back to back. I've seen him play much better, but even if he did that Texans defense is a lot to overcome...just saying.

Good luck this weekend WM 

Doubling down

Texans +3(-106)

Texans ml +144 *small*

@JFEEZEE

@Jars

@WilliamMunny

 It's possible. Stroud can't make too many mistakes here, Pats have traditionally taken advantage of those. 

@justliketoplay

  that defense is something else 

Since 2021 season, playoff faves are 10-6 SU, 5-11 ATS , last time road teams had the edge was 2021-22 they won 3 out of 4 SU. Three straight season of home teams going 3-1 SU, do we get a reversal trend this year? Possibly. This is the strongest group of road candidates in a wide open playoff field.

Since 2020, going to the #7 seed format. #1 seeds with a BYE are 7-3 SU, 3-7 ATS 

These are the most recent trends 

49ers +7(-106)

49ers ml +280 *small*

Thats it for those two games, will look at the other two games now will probably just be regular plays for me 

Updating my futures plays: 

Texans to win AFC +725, +510

Texans to win SB +1200, +875*new*

49ers to win AFC +1600, +1050

49ers to win SB +3000, +2200, +1800*new*

Texans over 49ers exacta +15000, +7000*new*

49ers over Texans exacta +15000, +7000*new*

I wouldn’t mind seeing those two teams win SU

hawks D has trouble covering tight ends, so Kittle will be missed, but Shanahan is smart enough to figure out an effective game plan without him.   

BOL on your plays

@Biscuit

 Tonges may be no Kittle but he has stepped in when needed. Got a TD in week 1 against them. They will get him involved for sure  good luck this week 

My writeups will be more brief this round since it'll be more regurgitating the same stuff from the previous week. These two things have always rung true for me in the playoffs over the years when I make my bets: A good running game and a great defense. People will say a team has to have a great passing offense to win Super Bowls, to some extent I agree but I don't put as much emphasize on that. I feel neither of the remaining teams left, except Rams I would consider to be great passing teams. Puka is the new hot stud and Davante is going to be a HOF'er might reach 14,000 yds by the time he hangs it up.

Rams vs Bears will be an interesting matchup for a good ol debate between passing vs running, all the aforementioned discussed above. Bears have good rushing attack while their defense is hit and miss but those takeaways really disguise their shortcomings. Really interesting game. Rams are good on all levels except special teams and also the elements pose a challenge to them which balances things out a bit. Another part of the game I hadn't really considered much till now with the new kickoff rules is that Special Teams will be a bigger factor than it used to be and has influenced my decision during the wildcard round with success. I'll be leaning towards those teams again in this round

In summary, the big 3 factors for me are: Running, defense and special teams. 

Good luck. 

I say, “Don’t think, it weakens the team.” 

Broncos back to being faves 

Blew up my plan on taking Bills 1st quarter it was -0.5(+130) now +0.5(-155) nooooo thanks lol

@Kapthat

@NONEED4LUCK

  don't think just do 

@saigon

I think Pats are the better team 

I guarantee you 49ers are not going to win AFC.
