PICK 1
+3 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS @ GREEN BAY PACKERS
Tom Brady has been tremendous in the second half of the season and was in the first meeting between these two teams when the Buccaneers bashed the Packers by four touchdowns in Florida. None of us are expecting that type of blowout in the snow and cold in Lambeau on Sunday, but I still have plenty of faith in the Buccaneers offense to put points on the board (highest scoring team in NFL since week 9). Also, RB Leonard Fournette has been a guy two-time head coach of the year Bruce Arians and Tom Brady can have confidence in. Fournette has been a workhorse for Tampa lately and especially in the playoffs. Fournette in both playoff games has a combined 45 touches, 260 yards and has scored two touchdowns. Defensively, LB Devin White is doing everything in the middle of the field (had pick and fumble recovery last week in win @ New Orleans) and rookie safety Antoine Winfield Jr. led the Buccaneers secondary in shutting out WR Michael Thomas in last weeks victory of the Saints. The Rams were depleted in their game against the Packers but hung around until the middle of the 4th quarter and this line smelly a lot to me but most of all regardless how great Aaron Rodgers is, I'm rolling with the GOAT.
31 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
29 GREEN BAY PACKERS
PICK 2
+135 LEONARD FOURNETTE TO SCORE A ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN
Fournette has been quit a workhorse with Ronald Jones getting banged up. Fournette had a receiving TD against the Saints last week and a rushing TD against Washington the week before. He has actually scored in six of his last seven games played and look for him to be the guy when the Buccaneers are inside the 10 yard line.
PICK 3
-110 ROB GRONKOWSKI OVER 27.5 RECEIVING YARDS
GRONK has been extremely quite in the playoffs with just one catch, but his buddy Tom Brady has to use him in this game to extend drives. It just so happens that Gronkowski had his best game of the year versus a NFC team when he lit up the Packers for five grabs, 78 yards and a score.
PICK 4
-175 DEVANTE ADAMS TO SCORE A ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN
Adams has had one of the best season a WR has ever had at least in terms of touchdowns scored. He had the first in last weeks win against the Rams and had 18 touchdown receptions for the season. Adams is also on a incredible run of scoring at least 1 touchdown in 11 of his last 12 games played. Adams shows up in big games and has four TD's in his last three playoff games.
PICK 5
-3 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS OVER BUFFALO BILLS
The Chiefs team beat the Bills earlier this season in Western New York by 9 points and it was surprisingly the defense that shut Buffalo down. The Bills only had 200 total yards that day and Josh Allen had just 14 completions and was picked off by "Dirty Dan" Sorensen. The Chiefs have been awful in covering spreads but no matter who is at QB for the Chiefs as long as TE Travis Kelce is playing he might just be the difference. Kelce had two TDS in the game against the Bills and has five TD's combined in his last five playoff games. It has been a great run for the Bills, but Kansas City repeats as AFC Champion.
30 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
23 BUFFALO BILLS
PICK 6
-110 STEFON DIGGS TO SCORE A ANYTIME TOUCHDOWN
Diggs scored against the Chiefs earlier this season and has scored in both playoff games. If you include the Vikings loss last season to the 49ers, that would mark three straight playoff games where Diggs found pay dirt.
Enjoy the games everyone and stay safe and win some money.
