Predictions?

Wild Card Saturday

No. 7 Colts at No. 2 Bills Colts can't hang with the Bills. Allen is on fire right now. And the Bills defense is playoff worthy. Bills 31 Colts 21
Odds: Bills -6.5

No. 6 Rams at No. 3 Seahawks If I was betting the playoffs I RUN AWAY from this game; both teams are enigmas... and SEA loses home crowd advantage.
Odds: Seahawks -3.5

No. 5 Buccaneers at No. 4 Washington Never bet against the GOAT especially in the playoffs, but WFT can rough the guy up with their pass rush. Bucs 30 - WFT 18
Odds: Bucs -7.5

Wild Card Sunday

No. 5 Ravens at No. 4 Titans Titans are the inverse of the Steelers, Great run game, not great passing. The only way they win is to keep the score close. LJ gets his first playoff win; BAL 24 - TEN 20
Odds: Ravens -3.5

No. 7 Bears at No. 2 Saints I like the Bears. But they aren't in the same tier as NOR. NOR-35 CHI - 16
Odds: Saints -8

No. 6 Browns at No. 3 Steelers save this one for later after we hear who's in/out....
Odds: Steelers -4

Will Ward be back for the Browns? I wasn’t sure when he tested positive for Covid.

I thought I heard he was out, but I'm not sure we ever really get accurate dates (or even confirmation of positive vs. Close contact)

line has moved to 5.5 on this news:

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, 2 other coaches and 2 players, test positive for COVID-19

Published: January 5, 2021

CLEVELAND — Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski, two other coaches and two players have tested positive for the coronavirus (COVID-19), the team announced on Tuesday.

The Browns announcement comes two days after the Browns beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 24-22 in their regular-season finale to end the NFL's longest active playoff drought (17 years). In what will mark its first postseason game since 2003, Cleveland is slated to play the Steelers on Sunday in the AFC Wild Card round at Heinz Field.

According to the team, special teams coordinator Mike Priefer will serve as the Browns' acting head coach in Stefanski's absence.

"Our facility is currently closed while contact tracing is taking place," the team said. "The team will continue to consult with the league and medical experts to determine the appropriate next steps as the health and safety of our players, coaches, staff and the entire community remains our highest priority. Our contingency planning calls for Special Teams Coordinator Mike Priefer to serve as the acting Head Coach.”

That sucks. Would be good to have some fans in the stands (for the team and the fans the would get to go).

[steeler_fan_in_t.o.]

It's too bad that Governor Wolf is an Eagles fan. Governor Cuomo wanted to go to the Bills game so "the science" told him that it was okay for fans to attend, and he could go. Funny enough, thanks to righfully huge backlash, he has decided not to go and instead give his ticket to a nurse. Of course he says that he is staying away because he has to work on a speech, but I think we can all see through that.
