Broncos +8.5
In the playoffs I like getting behind the better coach and Sean Payton has done well rebuilding Denver. Last year in week 10 Coach Payton came into Buffalo and beat the Bills and held Josh Allen down. This will be a much different animal but the success Denver had last year may work well for them today. The Broncos O line is playing well and they are one of the better pass blocking units. I know backing a rookie QB on the road in the playoffs is not usually a good idea but Bo is not playing like a rookie and his 124 passer rating in his last 3 games is something. Denver leads the league in sacks so they are capable of containing Josh which will be the challenge. I think Denver plays keep away, eating the clock and limiting possessions and keeping it close. Nobody expected Denver to be here so they are play with house money and nothing to lose and I think they make it a game.
GB + going to wait
GB can run the ball and since week 12 Philly has allowed some suspect teams to run on them. In Week 12 Philly LB Brandon Graham got hurt and the run D has not looked the same. Dallas, Washington, Ravens and Rams were able to run it on Philly and I think GB will do the same. The GB run D has flourished down the stretch, since week 12 GB has only allowed 71 rushing yards a game at 3.3 ypc. Philly has only played 3 games vs top 15 defenses and in those games they were held to 3.9 ypc and 138 rypg. The GB D is in the top 15 and can slow down the run. GB has been in this spot in the playoffs before and they seem to strive going 9-3 ATS as a dog in the playoffs since 2004. When GB Coach Lafleur is facing off against a team he lost to in their previous match up he is 12-4 ATS as a dog. I like Lafleur pushing the right buttons and Sirianni screaming at someone.
Good Luck
