NFL Divisional Round

[odanny]

Chiefs vs. Texans - Chiefs cover the -8.5 and win by 13.

Lions vs. Commanders - Detroit has covered the spread better than any team in the NFL this season - not today, Commanders +9 will cover the spread.

Eagles vs. Rams - Philly -6 will cover the spread.

Bills vs. Ravens - Ravens win on the road and cover the -1.

Agree with all except the Ravens. Surprised about the line on that one. If I were set up to bet, I'd put money on the Bills.

I think the Chiefs win, but it's a closer game than that.

Lions might cover the 9, but it's the playoffs, so I'm going to agree that the Commanders keep it closer than that.

I hate to agree, but the Eagles win by a TD.

This one is a toss-up for me. I'm going to take the Bills with a very close win, maybe by 2.

I know one thing, playoff games are getting unwatchable due to all the commercials.

At least on a Sunday I have NFL Redzone to turn to during a commercial during a Washington game.

I would like to see the Redskins do well.

The NFL and their greed is ruining the game, it has also affected the level of competitiveness with adding all the weekday games on different platforms like Amazon and Netflix. Lots of blowouts this season

I saw that FOX sold all the commercial slots (59) for the SB by this past November.....A 30 second spot is 7 million.....So that is 30 minutes of commercials not counting FOX promotional spots.

Football is the one major sport that can saturate their talent, spreading it out like adding more teams to the league over the yrs., etc.! They're also burning out the talent they have w/ ridiculous schedules, adding more games, w/ some lazy teams staying w/ artificial turf that is so unforgiving! By supporting "strike" games in the past, the fandom proved star power only goes so far in this sport!

Houston avoided an early disaster w/ KO to KC, allowing long run back; m/b 63 Yds! The defender lost his mind, threw his helmut resulting in additional penalty yds., then assaulted the Sp. T's coach by pushing him! Why is he still allowed to hang around in the building? The Chiefs were held to a FG! The Texan marched down the field, but also held to a FG!

Welp the refs are already helping out the Chiefs. They give them a roughing the passer when the defender hits Mahomes in the chest! It would have been 4th down.

Every time the Texans have a good play on defense on a critical 3rd down play, I’m expecting a flag.

That's what happens when you go in "high" on the QB! They get the benefit of the doubt being so vulnerable! I've watched the sport since the 70's! I'm surprised we've only had a handful of serious, paralyzing injuries over the yrs. w/ how players go after one another!

He was standing straight up when his chest hit Mahomes' chest. Let me guess, you're a Chiefs fan, amiright?

It's hard not to just "give it up" to the Chiefs! They have it all; great QB, coach, ownership, & state of the art stadium that's still holding up after decades of renovations! If Tyreek had stayed, heaven knows the influence they'd have setting themselves so far apart from other teams! The Cowboys are "America's Team" & hasn't won $#!t in 30 yrs.! I'm really a fan of good football & have always had a soft spot for Buffalo going back to "Strive for 5!"

Welp there's another 15 yard penalty for a legal hit. It means many millions of dollars more in revenue if the Chiefs make their 3rd Super Bowl. They are going to get all the help they need.

Mahomes & the Chiefs got another break from the Refs when he scrambled, went down late, but 2 defenders tried to nail him in the head! They missed colliding w/ each other, but still flagged for "intent!"

Now that was gratuitous by Mahomes! Scrambling, he literally slowed down so defender could hit him & receive another penalty! The refs didn't bite though! Mahomes while falling threw a TD pass to Kelce! Chiefs up 20-12!

Why not? He's smart, if you have a ref advantage use it. I was shocked they didn't throw the flag.

The Chiefs' line was -9.5, and that last-minute safety cost the home team fans a lot of money. Could anybody else hear the boobirds at the end of the game?

Many, if not MOST, of the Chiefs fans placed bets on the Chiefs when the line opened at 7.5.
It slowly moved to 9.5, and most bettors had placed their bets BEFORE the line got to 9.5.
That ^^^^ is exactly why the betting line moves from 7.5 to 9.5.
