Expert Divisional Round NFL ATS picks
Bills vs Broncos: Bills (-1.5)
There are going to be a lot of people counting out the Buffalo Bills this week. For starters, they are banged up on both sides of the ball, but as long as they have Josh Allen and James Cook, the Bills will be alright.
The Denver Broncos are a very weird team to figure out. Some weeks they look like world beaters, and others they look like a midtable team.
This will be Bo Nix's second career playoff start, and if it goes anything like the first, the Broncos are in trouble.
49ers vs Seahawks: Seahawks (-7)
With all due respect to the San Francisco 49ers as an organization, they are akin to a cockroach you just can't kill. Even with all the injuries, they find ways to defy the odds, until now.
The Seattle Seahawks are better on both sides of the football and enter this Divisional Round game red hot, having won seven straight to close out the season.
Lay the points with Sam Darnold.

Texans vs Patriots: Patriots (-3)
The Houston Texans have a major problem that cannot be overstated here. The offense — despite the scoreboard reading 30 — is a mess. C.J. Stroud looked scared. The potential loss of Nico Collins is a major blow, and despite the defense remaining elite, the New England Patriots have the horses to match.
The Patriots might be the most complete team in the league, and I expect them to score enough to cover this short field goal spread.
Rams vs Bears: Rams (-3.5)
Maybe you could call the Chicago Bears a team of destiny, but to me, I call them lucky. They've won a handful of games this season in the final few seconds, and could very well have missed the playoffs had they not been so fortunate.
We know the Los Angeles Rams looked shaky vs. the Carolina Panthers, but this is an experienced unit and one that will be well coached and well prepared for this game.
Lay the points with who I believe is the favorite to win the NFC.
