I'm a lover of Defense first. Seattle, The Giants, and Houston all have decent Defenses. But none of them are gonna even smell the '86 Bear's jockstraps. Offense rules the NFL today. And quarterbacks rule offenses. So I'm gonna try to keep all of that in mind as I make my 2016 / 2017 Playoff picks.

Oakland +4 -109 (@ Hou)
The Raiders were stunned by the loss of their leader, Derek Carr, in Week 16. This may surprise some of you but Derek Carr was only the 16th ranked QB using the ESPN QB ratings. That's called mediocre. But Brock Osweiler was worse, coming in at 22nd. My conclusion is that Carr's replacement doesn't need to be as good as you think to have the Raiders right in this game. I think that last week's test run without Carr will help them. I'll take the 4.

I sure hope that you are correct!!! Its seldom that I watch a game for the simple pleasure of rooting as a fan unless its HS football. It seems there is always money involved one way or another. Im going as a Raider fan for this game. Zero invested into it yet......

Hi Queen. Hope all is well. I haven't looked in your thread lately. I get pissed at all the losers who show up to heckle you in one way or another. Internet tough guys. Make that internet jerks.

Hope your Raiders bring one home for you.

 

[QUEENOFHEARTS]

Everything is great. The hecklers only show up when I lose. I have not seen any of them in about a month now. azzkick(&^

Detroit +9 -105 (@ Sea)
Detroit stinks. Lost three straight heading into the Playoffs. So I looked back. Only two teams in the last ten years had lost three straight going into the Playoffs. They both won and covered their first playoff game. And going back to '06 teams who lost their last two games heading into the Playoffs were 8-3 ATS in their first Playoff game. I think Matthew Stafford outruns and outplays Russell Wilson.

 

[Michelangelo]

Never bet on undisciplined teams. Thanks for the reminder, Detroit. You suck.
