00:00All right, let's start with Saturday in Arrowhead at 430 on ABC, Houston and Kansas City.

00:07It's eight and a half with Kansas City obviously favored as the number one seed.

00:12Scott, and remember the first game, ironically, what was the score?

00:16The Chiefs won by eight.

00:18And that last game was in week 15.

00:20The things have changed a little bit.

00:22Tank Dell's not playing.

00:24That worries me.

00:25And their offensive line for the Texans has not been great.

00:28I know they played well last week for a change.

00:30Like the Chiefs in this game to cover it, it's one of these things that could be close,

00:34but I feel that they'll win by ten or more in the end.

00:38What a miserable thought that is.

00:40All right, eight o'clock on Fox in Detroit.

00:44You've got Washington, the sixth seed, against the number one seeded Lions.

00:48They've been resting, lying in the weeds.

00:50They're 15 and two.

00:51They're laying nine and a half.

00:54That's a big number.

00:55I don't like that it's that high.

00:56But getting back David Montgomery is massive for them to run the clock out, for the grind

00:59carries to not wear down.

01:01Jameer Gibbs has been unbelievable this season.

01:04Best running back do in the National Football League.

01:07I like Washington last week outright, as I told you in last Thursday's Coast to Coast,

01:10because this is a game they could win.

01:12I thought they were a little bit better than the Bucs.

01:14They barely got the job done.

01:15But this is a whole nother animal, trying to get it up again on the road.

01:19I don't see it.

01:20I see the Lions cover this number, win by ten or more.

01:24Sunday at three o'clock on NBC, it's the Rams and Eagles at the link in Pharrell, Adelphia.

01:29Phillies laying six in the light snow.

01:33I know that the Rams have been playing better lately.

01:36The Eagles blew out the Rams last, I'm going to say, it was actually week 12, and it was,

01:41you mentioned it, 255 for Barkley.

01:44And the problem that you have for the Rams is they don't match up well against this massive

01:48Eagles offensive line.

01:50The Eagles will cover that number, but win by more than seven.

01:53I do not expect this to be a high-scoring game.

01:54By the way, the overrunner totals dropped a little bit.

01:58It's dropped a couple points here, and there's a reason for it.

02:00Weather and the Eagles.

02:02Scott, as you know, they're not a passing team.

02:04They're a running team.

02:05Take the Barkley over prop.

02:06Trust me on that one.

02:08All right, at 6.30 on CBS, it's the three-seed Baltimore against the two-seed Bills at home

02:14at high mark in the B-low, Buffalo, getting one in the light snow and in the teens.

02:19I've gone back and forth in this game.

02:21I know Baltimore has turned around their season.

02:23There's no question about it.

02:25They've shown they can win on the road, but Buffalo is so good at home, they have a little

02:29bit of revenge on their mind for the blowout earlier this season in the battle of the two

02:33best quarterbacks in the National Football League.

02:35This thing is going to come down possibly to a field goal.

02:38I'm not worried about the weather for Buffalo winning.

02:40They know the weather, obviously.

02:42Baltimore plays in cold weather.

02:43I don't think it's the big deal that people are making it out.

02:46But the bottom line is, to me, Buffalo has been a more consistent team this season, and

02:50I like Buffalo.
