00:00 Here's a quick hit with three of my favorite bets per wildcard weekend.

00:03 Number one, Rams plus three and a half.

00:06 Jared Goff, Matt Stafford, revenge game narrative.

00:10 This one is going to be a close one.

00:13 Both secondaries have struggled lately and both quarterbacks have playoff and Super Bowl experience.

00:19 However, only one of them has a ring.

00:21 Give me the Rams plus the points.

00:23 Number two, Najee Harris over 15 and a half rushing attempts.

00:27 The Steelers ran Najee 19 or more times in each of the final three games of the season

00:32 on their way to a playoff berth.

00:34 We already know what they're going to do this weekend.

00:36 It's going to be windy.

00:37 It's going to be snowy in Buffalo.

00:38 Take the over.

00:40 And finally, I really like plus 120 for CJ Stroud to throw two touchdowns this weekend.

00:46 Why?

00:46 Well, he's done it in eight of 15 games this year.

00:49 And yes, the Browns defense is tough, but they allowed two touchdowns to Davis Mills in week 16.

00:55 Give me plus money for the likely rookie of the year to do it on Saturday.
