–Monday Game
Minnesota Vikings @ Los Angeles Rams
*SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, CA| Monday Jan. 13th, 2024 8:00 PM E.T. on ESPN/ABC*
Doctor Candi’s Picks:
- SGP (-139) 1u
- Kupp 25+ rec yds,
- Puka 50+ rec yds,
- Kyren Williams 40+ rush yds,
- Sam Darnold 175+ pass yds
I love betting on the Rams’ player props. You know exactly where the ball is going. Lately that’s been Puka and Kyren and…..no one else. But I think Kupp, a veteran presence, can make his way back in the circle when it matters most. We know Kupp is still an elite talent and still has gas left in the tank, and we know Stafford trusts him. Just get us 25!!!!! Puka and Kyren, just close your eyes and do it, the volume is just massive to not hit these alternate lines. And then Sam Darnold, got a little spooky last week but I love this matchup for him. Not touching any Viking receivers, Jefferson’s lines are juiced (and rightfully so) and the ball is just spread around too much for my liking in Minnesota. The Rams defense does not scare me, and I don’t think they’ll be able to spook Sam either. ”Fool me can’t get fooled again.”
Log’s Picks:
Rams ML (+124) 1u
Gotta say I was a bit perplexed by this game. Minnesota on paper should win this game but Rams are a sleeper pick. Everything in me is telling me to take Minnesota but after last week seeing them choke in a big game led me to take the Rams. They have a good defense (better than Detroit) that can stop this offense. All things considered it, this game really hangs on the shoulders of Sam Darnold. If he’s on his fly shit they could dominate this game. But if he lets the rams stick around it’s bad news bears. Rams got weapons on offense with a fuckin wizard calling plays for them. Gut feeling I just think the rams pull this off somehow.
Emperor’s Picks:
Cooper Kupp o48.5 Receiving Yards (-110) 10u *Legacy*
Playoff Kupp is back 👀👀👀
With the very up and down season Kupp has had, I know it’s very hard for my fellow degenerates to tail this play but hear me out. In his Playoff career (7 games), Kupp is averaging 93 Receiving yards per game.
Minnesota is also giving up 242 Passing Yards per game so… with Puka and Kupp being Staffords top 2 targets, I love this play.
I believe in Playoff Kupp and so should you.
Cooper Kupp Anytime TD (+198) 1u
I’m already on his over for receiving yards (I think he clears the over in the first half). Why not bet Kupp TD as well? Let’s end Wild Card weekend with a bang.
Added some additional plays. It’s Legacy Day. Cooper Kupp Day.
Ric’s Picks:
Kyren Williams Anytime TD (-130) 1u
It’s definitely my lamest play of the weekend, but it seems like every week this man Kyra Williams finds his way in the end zone. Although Minnesota has one of the best rush defenses in the league, this is the same team who just let Jamir Gibbs score 4 touchdowns last week. Now I don’t believe that he’ll score 4 times but the beauty of the bet is that he only needs to score once.
Key’s Picks:
Vikings ML (-148) 1u
Just like the Chargers here, what are the
–Sunday Games
Denver Broncos @ Buffalo Bills
*Highmark Stadium, Buffalo, NY| Sunday Jan. 12th, 2024 1:00 PM E.T. on CBS*
Santi’s Picks:
Bills Team Total o27.5 (-130) 1u | Bills -7.5 (-115) 1u
The Broncos defense is no joke, but they have slacked as of late. They began this season allowing an average of 16.8ppg in their first 12 game stretch. Since then (outside of a game versus a practice squad Chiefs), they have allowed 27.2ppg. This is far from ideal when you have to go into Buffalo and try to limit the future MVP and one of the top offenses in the league in hopes to advance your playoff run. In games that Josh Allen has played entirely, the Bills have cleared this line in 12 out of 16 games. Between the absolute firepower that the Bills can bring on offense, this is also Bo Nix’s first playoff game in arguably the toughest setting in football – we could very well get some points off of the Broncos offensive mistakes as well. Give me the Bills to go over 27.5 points in this one and get one step closer to the revenge game against Mahomes.
Doctor Candi’s Picks:
Javonte Williams o14.5 Receiving Yards (-110) 1u
This whole year, ”experts” have tried to predict this Broncos backfield and who would become the 1A. The answer after 18 weeks of football: nobody. All 3 RBs continue to be involved. However, they have each carved out a specific role. For Williams, he’s not going to get many carries, but he’s their best pass-catching back. This is a game script that should cater to him, as Denver should be trailing for most of this game. Expect Williams to be out there for a lot of 3rd downs and 2 minute drill drives, and be the beneficiary of some easy screen passes.
- SGP (-138) 1u
- James Cook 40+ Rushing Yards
- Denver Broncos +20.5
- Buffalo Bills +4.5
- Under 64.5
Log’s Picks:
Broncos ML (+360) 1u
I know what you’re thinking. “This guy is crazy there’s no way Bills lose this game, Josh Allen is HIM he’s had an MVP year”. Yes, you’re right the bills should win this game 100%. But so much more goes into this game that makes me love this pick.
To start off, this Broncos defense isn’t just legit, they are ELITE. They have two lockdown corners in PS2 and Riley Moss(Whiteboy corner shoutout). Just because the Bengals lit this D up I bet a lot of you think the bills can do the same. At the end of the year the Bengals lit every defense up and there’s a track record of it. To add on I bet you this team is over looking the Broncos saying thank god we don’t gotta play Cincy. Big mistake. This team went into the year being doubted by everyone. Bo Nix thrives when surrounded by doubt. He was doubted from the jump being the 6th qb taken in this draft and what has he done? He has over-exceeded any expectation placed on him. All he was given was Courtland Sutton and a dream and has turned into an efficient NFL QB in year 1.
If there is one upset in the first round that has a chance it’s this game right here. Amazing defense, Hall of Fame coach, and a fearless rookie QB. I must add a disclaimer that I have been a Bo Nix rider since his senior season at Oregon (No shame), but it doesn’t change the facts of the matter. This team is well rounded and can play with the best teams in the league. Don’t be surprised when they pull this off.
Emperor’s Picks:
Broncos/Bills o46.5 (-115) 2u
Riding the over here for a few reasons.
Reason 1: Josh Allen. Arguably the best QB in the league, he can make one big play on any down. Enough said
Reason 2: Both Teams PPG Average. Buffalo averages 30PPG while Denver averages 25 PPG. If this was any rookie QB I would probably be more hesitant on ripping this over but we are talking about Sean Payton. The man changed the entire dynamic of Denver’s offense when he finally got his guy. Both teams are scoring tomorrow.
And my last reason. You think I’m betting on an under to begin my Sunday? Grow up. We start the day with Josh Allen and Bo Nix. Get it together.
Shep’s Picks:
Broncos/Bills o47.5 (-110) 1u
Both these teams have some high scoring offenses. Josh Allen is superman and will continue to lead the high powered Bills offense. Bo Nix looks questionable at times but has lead his team to the playoffs as a rookie and an average score of 22pts per game.
Ric’s Picks:
Marvin Mims o19.5 Yards Longest Reception (-110) 1u
Marvin Mims Has slowly started to break out down the stretch for the Broncos, catching four of his six touchdowns in the last two games and all of his six in the last seven. In these past seven games he’s called a pass for at least 30 yards and six of them. His line is set at 19.5, Denver doesn’t run the ball as much as is and with the game script likely in the passing games favour Marvin will have an opportunity to hit the 19.5 mark.
King Will’s Picks:
Broncos/Bills o47.5 total points (-115) 1u
The Bills have a bad defense, both teams are prepared for the weather conditions. Look for Sean Payton to be ready to roll, but also for Josh Allen to have 3 total TDs. I have no idea if the bills will cover the 9, but I’m positive this game will produce some fireworks.
Key’s Picks:
Denver +10.5 (-148) 1u *buying up* | Josh Allen o0.5 Interceptions (+110) .5u
Honestly as good as the Bills have looked all year, Josh Allen is always good for a couple turnovers. The Denver defense is no joke and I think they give Bills a hard time. Give me the broncos and double digit points. Sean Peyton and Bo Nix will score enough to keep them in it. I don’t see this being a blow out
Green Bay Packers @ Philadelphia Eagles
*Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, PA| Sunday Jan. 12th, 2024 4:00 PM E.T. on Fox*
Santi’s Picks:
Eagles -4.5 (-110) 1u
I’m a big fan of Love, Jacobs and company – but the Eagles are just way too overpowering for them in my opinion. There’s one thing I wouldn’t want to be this weekend – the Packers defensive coordinator. You simply cannot gameplan for this Eagles offense. You stack the box to stop a 2000 yard rusher and scrambling QB, their receivers torch your secondary. You bring back help to cover their receivers, Saquon runs for 150 yards on you. The Eagles are just way too complete to not back here. I think the Packers took a huge hit with the Watson injury. Christian Watson is their WR1 in my eyes. He is responsible for opening up the field for other receivers (he ranks in top percentiles for beating man coverage; you cannot leave him 1 on 1) and providing the Packers with a deep threat at all times which opens up their run game. The Eagles should win both sides of the trenches while limiting the Packers air raid as well due to the talent of rookie standouts Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean. I see the Eagles doing what they do best in this matchup, take the early lead and control the possession game in the fourth quarter to get the win. I have the Eagles making it out of the NFC this year, give me the Eagles -4.5 to start things off this weekend.
Doctor Candi’s Picks:
Josh Jacobs o16.5 Rush Attempts (-128) 1u
I considered taking the Packers on the spread but I like this angle better. I am confident in Green Bay’s ability to sustain long drives, and I think they’re going to do that with Josh Jacobs. I wouldn’t be shocked if Love attempts fewer than 30 passes. Expect to see ground and pound, cold-weather Packers football with Jacobs here, I think this line should be closer to 18.5. I’m not touching the yards because I don’t want to bet on efficiency, I’d rather bet on the volume to be there and game script going our way.
Log’s Picks:
Eagles -4.5 (-115) 1u
Another game that I expect to be a blowout so this line is great to me. Packers have not been playing well recently and that’s the type of shit you don’t wanna put on film right before the playoffs. For the Eagles, Saquon Barkley has completely changed the dynamic of this team. They went from a good rushing offense, to a great rushing offense. Saqoun can break off a TD run at any point in the game and has proved so game after game. Also it’s important to mention that Sirianni is on the hot seat is most likely canned if he loses this game so I expect to him to just run up the score if he gets the chance. Remember when these teams faced off week 1? Ya don’t expect anything different cuz the eagles have only gotten better and put together a well oiled machine since then. It pains me to say this but for the sake of my bet…. GO BIRDS!
Emperor’s Picks:
Packers +6.5 (-140) 1u
You all know why this is my play. Fuck that dumpster city they call Philadelphia. Oh and don’t forget we have fellow Cassidy QB Tree Member: Jordan Love participating in this game. Of course we ride with the Tree.
Party in the Love Shack Sunday night.
I got my heart ripped out and stomped on during the Broncos/Bills game. No playing around now. This is the Emperor’s Game of the Weekend. Rage Plays lets go.
Shep’s Picks:
Eagles -5.5 (-110) 1u | Packers/Eagles o45.5 (-110) 1u
The Eagles are currently the best team in the league. From top to bottom they have the better roster on both sides of the ball. If the Packers try to stack the box then Hurts will go for 250+ to Smith and Brown. If the Packers try to drop into coverage then Saquon will go for a 150. I don’t see any scenario where the Packers win.
Ric’s Picks:
Eagles -5.5 (-110) 1u
Simply put, the Eagles are the most well balanced team in the NFL. They’re healthy, going up against a banged up Packers squad. I believe it’ll be a blowout if the eagles can play their style of play and control the clock. For the packers, they need to establish the run early and need one of their other receivers to step up with the absence of Christian Watson in the vertical receiver role. Jalens back, and he’s gonna silence all of the noise of his haters.
Jalen Hurts Anytime TD (-125) 1u
Jalen’s back and so is the offensive line pushing his fat ass across the goal line (pause). Jalen is a gamer, and with him back after completing the concussion protocol, I don’t see the eagles putting any limitations on him. They ran the tush push with Kenny Pickett, so I don’t believe they’ll be going away from it because of hurts’ injury.
King Will’s Picks:
Eagles -4.5 (-115) 3u
Jalen Hurts may come out rusty in this game, but I don’t foresee it mattering much as Saquon Barkley, AJ and Devonte will be too much for the packers to handle. The packers have been on a bit of a skid to close out the season and I foresee their struggles continuing as their most impactful player Jordan Love enters this game backed up. 4.5 may seem a little rich, if you haven’t watched the Eagles play this year. Gimme the Birds to cover the modest spread.
Key’s Picks:
Packers +5.5 (-110) 1u | Packers ML (+190) .5u
Now I hate the Eagles as much as the next guy, and I also hate Lafluer bloodline, they’re are morons.
However, I couldn’t find the stat to post here but I believe I saw somewhere that Lafluer is undefeated ATS as an underdog in playoffs, could’ve dreamed that idk. But I think they keep it close and Hurts has been banged up. I’ll take a flyer on the Pack.
Burg’s Picks:
AJ Brown Anytime TD (+140) 1u
Packers secondary is banged up I think this matchup is great for him for redzone opportunities .
Jayden Reed 40+ Receiving Yards (-130) 1u
Reed went off last time against the eagles. Without Watson he’s going to have opportunities deep down the field
Jordan Love o217.5 Passing Yards (-110) 1u
Eagles will focus in on Jacobs and force love to air it out.
Washington Commanders @ Tampa Bay Bucs
*Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, FL| Sunday Jan. 12th, 2024 8:00 PM E.T. on NBC*
Doctor Candi’s Picks:
- SGP (-150) 1u
- Jayden Daniels 200+ Passing Yards
- Terry McLaurin 40+ Receiving Yards (-150) 1u
I apologize for the juice here don’t like laying -150. I looked at Bucky 40+ yds to bring this down to -110 and I’m sure he’ll get that but I’ll just lay the juice here for once. Most people attacking the passing yard props are probably going to look at Baker but I actually think its Jayden Daniels who has the better matchup and will have more success through the air. If Washington trails in this game that will serve to work in our favor. I also like Jayden +6.5 pass yds H2H vs Baker but I’m not gonna get too cute. Expect this duo to show up on Sunday night!
Log’s Picks:
Bucs ML (-162) 1u
Only reason I like this pick is because of Baker’s success in the first round of the yoffs. He’s strictly a first round bandit, he can’t go any further, but you put him up against anyone in the first round and he finds a way to win. No way should they have beat the Eagles last year but they did.
Commanders are a good team but they ain’t as good as the Eagles were last year. Jayden Daniels has a bright future in this league but I’m interested to see what he’s gonna do when things ain’t going his way in this game. You know Baker is gonna have his guys fired up and they are gonna play with a lot of heart this game. Washington had a weak schedule and Bucs play in a weak division, but the Bucs are 4th in scoring this year despite only winning 10 games.
This could be a close, hard fought game but I’m confident the Bucs will come out on top this game.
Emperor’s Picks:
Bucs ML (-165) 1u
Fading the Rookie here and honestly riding one of the most underrated teams in the league… the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Baker has been in this spot before and I can’t see him losing a duel to a rookie. Take the veteran coach and veteran QB to win this game.
Nah I’m done messing around. Sunday beat me with a stick. Tonight we skull fuck.
Shep’s Picks:
Commanders ML (+142) 1u
I’m going to list my reasons for this upset:
Jayden Daniels
The man is a dawg. I love Baker and want to root for him but I think this is going to be the upset of the first round.
Ric’s Picks:
Zach Ertz Anytime TD (+255) 1u
Zach has had six touchdowns the last seven games scoring in 5 out of 7. This game has the highest over on the board so I expect there to be a lot of scoring, this line is really juicy for a veteran tight end with a rookie QB going into his first playoff game.
King Will’s Picks:
Commanders/Buccaneers o50.5 (-105) 1u
Some of these plays are super public, but public has been cashing in the NFL this season. The NFL playoffs are almost always a microcosm of the most memory moments of an NFL season, and I am expecting both these QBs to continue to headline their teams overachieving seasons by lighting up the scoreboard in a NFC Wild Card Classic.
Key’s Picks:
Commanders +3 (-115) 1u
I love me some Jayden Daniels and Scary Terry, so I will ride them till I can’t anymore. Kudos to Baker and the Bucs, considering all their injuries impressive that they are where they are. I think this one is a coin flip and although 72% of public is on Commanders, I won’t fade them. Also I cannot ever allow myself to bet on a butt plug in Bowles. Can’t wait to watch him sit on the sideline with his arms crossed emotionless all game.
Rams like mentally here with the fires being an unfortunate distraction? Had the move the game to AZ, so there goes home field advantage. And as someone who went to Jets/Vikes in London, I know Vikings fans travel well. So give me my boy Sammy D to make up for last weekend in a big spot here. And also Matt LeFRAUD can go suck a high hard one.
–Saturday Games
Los Angeles Charger @ Houston Texans
*NRG Stadium, Houston, TX| Saturday Jan. 11th, 2024 4:30 PM E.T. on CBS*
Santi’s Picks:
Texans +3 (-110) 1u
I feel like this may be a game where everyone counts the Texans out. Yes – the Chargers have impressed on defense, Herbert has been excellent & Harbaugh has coached the team pretty well in his first year but I can genuinely see an upset happening here. It’s never easy to go into another team’s home field in the playoffs and win, let alone hang the crucial 3 point spread. Outside of the Ravens game, the Texans are a team that keeps nearly every game a close game (that’s a good thing when we’re getting 3 points). I do believe that this Chargers defense is slightly overhyped based off of their opponents and even while facing off against a lot of sub par offensive lines, they have still just amounted to the 7th worst pressure percentage in the league (19.8%). The Texans weakness has been their O-line, the lack of effective pass rush from the Chargers should open up the door for potential Texans points this weekend. Give me the Texans +3 at home to kick off the weekend.
Doctor Candi’s Picks:
Texans +3 (-115) 1u
This is the only spread I will be taking, I’m usually more of a player prop guy. For the Texans, we know most of the volume will flow through Mixon and Nico Collins. For the Chargers, it’s Dobbins and Ladd. I just don’t see value on any of their props though. I don’t think the Texans should be 3 point home dogs. This is the classic case of a team that has overachieved vs a team that has underachieved. When you take a step back and look at the Texans and Chargers, these are 2 teams that I place in the same exact tier. I’ll take the “bad vibes” discount.
Log’s Picks:
Chargers -3 (-102) 1u
This is what the Chargers have been waiting for. This offense is completely revamped. Herbert not airing out throwing for 300 yards and 3+ TDs a game but somehow they are a better team and it comes down to this: coaching. This team has been known to choke in the playoffs giving up horrendous leads but that ain’t what Jimmy Harbaugh about. I don’t see this guy blowing a 20+ lead in the second half. Not saying they will go up by that much but I think they will handle business in this game. In my eyes, the Texans have regressed since last year somehow and are the beneficiaries of playing in bad division. I do not expect them to compete in this game. This is one of those games where I think the score will look closer than the game actually was. Gimme a Harbaugh matchup in the second round after the Broncos and Ravens win. Bolt up!
Emperor’s Picks:
- QB Passing Yards SGP (-130) 2u
- Justin Herbert 200+ Passing Yards
- C.J. Stroud 200+ Passing Yards
2 Unit wager to kickoff the NFL Playoffs?… YES SIR. 2 young star-studded QBs battling it out to kick off the playoffs and they only need to throw 200+ Passing Yards?
JHerbo & Stroud may clear this before halftime. Both defenses average over 200+ Passing Yards against them. Stroud and JHerbo have both balled out in the playoffs before and career wise throw well over 200 Yards per game in the Yoffs (JHErbo only played in 1 Playoff Game – I know). WR rooms are talented enough to help complete the job for both parties. Yes please gimme dat.
- Anytime TD SGP (+650) 1u
- Nico Collins TD
- Quentin Johnston TD
I got sodomized on that Texas game last night. At this point moving foward, go big or go home. Nico has a great matchup tomorrow for himself against this Chargers secondary and QJ is simply just due.
A full unit on +650 is absurd don’t get me wrong but I’m starting the damn playoffs hot. Let’s move.
Shep’s Picks:
Chargers -3 (-110) 1u
The Chargers aren’t the prom queen but they are the soft 6 you can rely on when you’ve had 16 Coors Banquets. The Texans haven’t looked great since losing Nico Colins and Stefon Diggs. I don’t think this game will get ugly but the Chargers are going to be in control the whole game. They have a better team and a better coach and that’s what matters in the playoffs.
Ric’s Picks:
Chargers/Texans Over 41.5 (-110) 1u
This is the lowest total on the board, and rightfully so. Houston’s offense has been shaky lately, and both teams come into the game with solid defenses. I think this game goes over the point total of 41.5 because personally I just think it’s too low, each team has the QB play and weapons good enough to score points, and I think it turns into a sneaky shootout.
Quentin Johnston o44.5 Receiving Yards (-110) 1u
Quentin Johnson is coming off a game with 14 targets and 13 catches for 186 yards. I think he’ll have plenty of chances to hit his mark, he’s just going to need to catch the ball. Sounds easy but this man’s biggest enemy is zone hands.
King Will’s Picks:
Chargers -3 (-102) 1u
Better coach, better QB in a playoff matchup against a reeling texans squad. The image of the Texans offense getting shutout on Christmas will be hard to remove from my head. This Chargers team is pretty reminiscent of that Ravens team that did the bludgeoning. Texans played well at home in the playoffs last year, but that was against Joe Flaccos Browns when the Texans themselves were surging. A lot has been said about Justin Herbert’s lack of playoff success, I believe this is a good spot for him. With the spread at just a FG I see a lot of value here.
Key’s Picks:
Texans +3 (-115) 1u
Everyone and their mother is on Chargers -3 (72% of the public). Let’s put this and matchups aside.
This is a tough pick.. Is Harbaugh a good coach? Sure. Is DeMeco Ryans an asshole who continues to make his WRs block inside on run plays? Yes. (Totally don’t hold a vendetta here by the way, (tank dell 2023)).
But, is Harbaugh a liar and an absolute loser? 1000x Yes. No one remembers their birth. I mean what did he do? Cut the cord himself as well? Loser.
Also, we need to factor in the clear distraction going on in LA right now with the fires. Where are the minds of the Chargers?
For these reasons I’m rolling with the Texans.
Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens
*M&T Bank Stadium, Baltimore, MD| Saturday Jan. 11th, 2024 8:00 PM E.T. on Amazon*
Santi’s Picks:
Derrick Henry o20.5 Rush Attempts (-114) 1u
At the time of writing there’s no word on Zay Flowers injury designation, regardless if he plays or not, I think the Ravens are unleashing the beast in the playoffs. The Ravens have always been an elite team on the ground, but with the way Lamar has been threatening opposing teams through the air I don’t think the Steelers can fully commit to the run especially after watching their rookie DB’s get turned into burnt toast last weekend. In his last 3 games, Henry has recorded 24/27/20 carries; all of these happening in essential blowouts during the regular season when he really didn’t even need to be on the field. The Ravens are nearly double digit favorites in this one, and while I expect them to win, I don’t like to lay that many points in a big game against a division rival that have already seen the Ravens twice this year. Look for the Ravens to control the game on the ground through King Henry in this one.
Doctor Candi’s Picks:
- SGP: (-128) 1u
- Ravens ML
- Steelers +23.5
- Warren 25+ Rushing + Receiving Yards
- Pickens 25+ Receiving Yards
I’m very confident that the Ravens win in this 1-23 pt margin. I’m a bit sick of the “Tomlin always plays the Steelers close” narrative. However, with a low 43.5 pt total I don’t see this one getting too out of hand. Then I added a couple props to reduce the juice. Pickens 25+ is free he’ll get that on one catch, Steelers need to get him involved early to have any sort of chance here. Assuming the Steelers to play from behind this shapes out to be a Jaylen Warren game, I think there’s a good chance he gets the 25 on receiving yards alone.
Log’s Picks:
Ravens -9.5 (-115) 1u
To me this is a lot of points but in terms of game lines this is the best value in my opinion. I really would have liked this line to be like 7.5 but it’s whatever. The Ravens offense is just an unstoppable force. It’s like when a trans woman(Male) fights a female in a boxing match. You can’t do nothing to stop the punches you just gotta hope you can throw enough back to try and keep up. Russell Wilson is corny ass bitch ain’t no way this soy boy can carry his team. Dude was carried by Marshawn Lynch half his career he ain’t all that. On top of that, it looks like there’s some turmoil between him and his best receiver, George Pickens after last week. Not a good look when you need these 2 to be on the same page if they even want to have a chance to win this game. I expect the Ravens to put up 30+ points this game so if they can’t put up at least 21 themselves this spread is wraps. Feed my guy King Henny the Gorilla!!!(That’s not racist this dude is actually just built like a gorilla)
- Lo’s Value SGP (+416) 1u
- Lamar o224.5 Pass Yds
- Derrick Henry Anytime TD
- Derrick Henry 60+ Rush Yds
- Rashod Bateman o46.5 Rec Yds
Tryna give out some good plays that pay out well. Idk why the books love giving Lamar low lines but I will take the over everyday when this guy is just ballin every game. King Henny is King Henny no explanation needed. Rashod Bateman is WR1 this week and has a career year this year. He can hit this over in 1 play guy is just a straight up deep play. Don’t fade good offenses putting up numbers. Let’s ride
Emperor’s Picks:
George Pickens o55.5 Rec Yards (-115) 1u
I am betting on the certified nutjob. Not a Steelers fan or AFC rival fan so I absolutely love Pyscho George.
Steelers are 2 score underdogs heading into this AFC North battle so it seems like Pittsburgh will be eventually relying on throwing the ball. When they do, expect Mr. Unlimited to target his #1 WR numerous times in this game.
Would also like to mention Pickens torched Baltimore earlier this season having 8 catches for 89 yards. Trust Psycho George to ball out tomorrow.
Russell Wilson o199.5 Passing Yards (-135) 1u
I believe I told myself he was banned after a horrific game for the Broncos but that was not on record. NOW IT IS. If Mr. Unlimited lets me down, he will be forever banned form the Emperor.
Vegas has the Ravens beating the Steelers by 2 scores tonight so you know what that means. Steelers playing from behind = Mr. Unlimited forced to throw ball. He’s been in the Playoffs before, in fact a Super Bowl winner. He’s Mr. Unlimited. He ain’t nervous.
Let’s ride Russ! Pause because damn that sounded sus
George Pickens Anytime TD (+210) 1u
I typically would make these type of TD plays a half unit but it’s the Playoffs.
Lets run it.
Isaiah Likely Anytime TD (+275) 1u
Had this as a .66u play and elevated to a 1u play when I saw Gavin Mchugh from Friday Beers on Likely in a Hail Marry play. MAde me love it more and as I just said before, why not make this a unit play. It’s the playoffs!
With Zay Flowers out, a opportunity opens up for this beast. Love the value here, so I’m taking Likely to find the end zone at some point in this game.
Shep’s Picks:
Steelers +8.5 (-110) 1u
Sure, the Ravens are miles better than the Steelers but the Ravens losing Zay Flowers is huge. Mike Tomlin is a guy that you can never count out and he has been tested in the playoffs. He knows how to get the boys pumped and will be able to keep them in this game.
Ric’s Picks:
Ravens -8.5 (-110) 1u
It’s really hard for me to find any reason that I would take the Steelers in this game. Pittsburgh has been mid at best down the stretch, getting dominated by each playoff team they’ve played down the stretch and also dropping a game at home to the bengals. The Ravens have won 4 straight including beating the Steelers by 14 a few weeks ago. Lamar has been so good, and paired with the King, the rushing attack is going to be too much for the Steelers to handle with limited possessions if the ravens can control the clock.
Mark Andrews Anytime TD (+155) 1u
Mark Andrew has called touchdown in the last seven games, I think the value is too good to pass up. He’s never scored in a playoff game, so I’m banking that he’s due to break that mark and score for his 8th straight game.
King Will’s Picks:
I have to approach this game completely different due to massive bias. The ravens should cover and win comfortably but some lesser known Steelers players are being disrespected by their totals here. Let’s cash some PLUS numbers.
Calvin Austin III 40+ Receiving Yards (+200) 2u
While many people will risk their money on a guy who has shown he may not have his head in the game (Pickens); Austin is this teams second longest tenured wideout and has had improving production in the passing game this season. The Steelers are high on this young player moving forward so win or lose look for him to touch the ball at least 4 times.
Jaylen Warren 80+ Rushing & Receiving yards (+240) 2u
While Najee Harris is the headliner and the #1 back. Warren should see just as many snaps and has been a raven killer in his young Pittsburgh career. Whether the Steelers are having success checking down to Warren early in the game to keep pace; or late in the end to lick their wounds in a blowout… either way the yards count. Warren is the back of the future in Pittsburgh as this could be 22s last career game in the black and gold.
Key’s Picks:
Steelers +10 (-125) 1u
Derrick Henry First TD (+295) .5u
- SGP: (+430) 1u
- Derrick Henry Anytime TD
- Mark Andrews Anytime TD
- Mark Andrews over 40+ Receiving Yards
- Mark Andrews over 3.5 Receptions
This one is another tough one, and honestly depending on how hammered I get on Saturday I may flip. But I just think 10 points in a rival playoff game is just too many points. Really comes down to which version of Russ and Pickens are we going to get? TJ is going to single handedly keep them in it defensively.
Also Zay flowers is out. So who is Lamar throwing the ball to? I think it’s going to be a big feed Mark Andrews day. So I built this SGP for him. Also, Henry obviously getting a TD.
–Other Parlays
Log’s Picks:
- Lo’s Super Value Parlay (+13829) 1u
- Bo Nix 250+ Pass Yds
- Josh Allen 250+ Pass Yds
- Baker Mayfield 250+ Pass Yds
- Jayden Daniels 225+ Pass Yds
- Mike Evan’s 70+ Rec Yds
- Lamar Jackson 250+ Pass Yds
- Cooper Kupp 60+ Receiving Yards
Listen I’m not gonna give you my explanation for every single one of these picks but I’m tryna give you guys good value (risking a little to make a lot). That’s how you make money in this game. I love looking at lines and making predictions but this is the cream of the crop. Prop bet parlays where all the legs could easily hit given the right circumstances. Ima start giving out more of these plays cuz in the long term it’s better way to make money as crazy as it sounds. Lays like these that hit one time completely cover a bunch of losses. Will this hit? I can’t say yes for certain but it definitely can and you will make a lot of money if it does. This for all my degens out there. It’s time to laugh to the bank. Lo Out
Emperor’s Picks:
- Emperor’s Wild Card Weekend Lay (+1489) 1u
- Derrick Henry Anytime TD
- Josh Allen Anytime TD
- Bo Nix 225+ Passing Yards
- Zach Ertz 25+ Receiving Yards
- Cooper Kupp Anytime TD
This is just marvelous. Started creating this Lay out with my 3 favorite TD scorers of the weekend and figured why not make this a little beefier.
Love the Bo Nix leg as Vegas assumes they will be down majority if not the whole game so why wouldn’t they be throwing the ball here?
For the Ertz leg, this has only not hit 4 times the entire season. 3 of those 4 times were in the first half of the season. Daniels and Ertz are clicking now, don’t see how this leg folds.
- The Cassidy QB Tree + Log’s QB Tree Parlay (+860) 1u
- Bo Nix 225+ Passing Yards
- Bo Nix 2+ Passing TDs
- Jordan Love 225+ Passing Yards
- Jordan Love 2+ Passing TDs
I was up cooking in the lab (my parents house) and stumbled across the lovely idea of parlaying overs on QB Trees. JLove a member of the Cassidy QB Tree and BoNix, a member of Log’s.
I honestly see both game total overs clearing big time in this with both the Broncos and Packers trailing in this game forcing them to become pass heavy. Both QBs are more than capable of clearing this over and have done so numerous times this season.
Let’s ride for the QB Trees.
