Rotation #301-302
Texans/Ravens Under 43.5
It’s a cold day in Baltimore that will test the Texans’ running backs and their young, sensational QB. CJ Stroud has been one of the best rookies in football this season, but I believe his season ends today. The Texans’ young coaching staff has their hands full. Baltimore plays excellent at home and is used to the weather. The Ravens are short-handed at the receiver position, as Mark Andrews is still out. Both defenses should be ahead of the offenses today. Houston has a deep secondary, and the defense has to play an outstanding game to keep the game close. Look for a rare low-scoring playoff game. Take the Under

Rotation #304
49ers -10 over Packers
49ers/Packers Over 50.5
The Packers are a few years ahead of where they should be, as the coaching staff has been outstanding. Quarterback Jourdan Love has been incredible, and the young receivers have looked like veteran players. Aaron Jones is running with a purpose and should have a decent evening. The 49ers are the best team in the NFC and don’t have many flaws. Brock Purdy has been phenomenal, and their running game, led by Christian McCaffrey, is elite. San Francisco has fantastic receivers that should outlast the Packers’ defense, which needs more depth at all three levels. The Packers’ rookie punter is hurt, and their FG kicker is just a rookie. Special teams always play a significant factor late in the season. Green Bay is the youngest team in football, and sooner or later in this game, the wheels will fall off. Look for a high-scoring match dominated by San Francisco. Take the 49ers and the Over.
