I'm going with the Bucs -6.5 bought some points off since I have a feeling that they might give up tons of points in the second half.

The odds on the 49ers seems tempting as well given the teams they've beaten and I feel like the Cowboys are slightly overrated since they're able to win convincingly against weaker teams but then struggled against some of the decent teams like the Cardinals and Raiders.

The Buccs do give up points easily but I took them and the under because to be honest 47 points is alot even for Brady and him knowing they are already in for the next round.
Eagles I can't see scoring too many as they are known as a defensive team in the past playoffs.

Those two games last night were high scoring so typically they don't score more over a lazy Sunday afternoon matchup.

Looks like Edelman lost his bet last night with Patriots bowing out in Buffalo.
Sorry @buwaytress .. That is one to check mark off the list but Packers are looking promising.

[buwaytress]

Yeah, rd, yikes Patriots. Absolutely trouncing at the hands of Bills, so my parlay died early. Didn't expect them to go down without a proper fight, but there you go, I guess. Feel like I ought to just double down and bet on Steelers to make it through this, but as it stands I only have Packers left, but at least is Steelers make it through, I'll have won a big game with odds like this, and hedges my Packers outright heh.

So Steelers @6.50 is my pick.

Remaining pre-season picks:
Steelers @91 > 251 > 201 > 71
Packers @8.5 > 4.60

Steelers is a gutsy bet.  I guess with the good odds it's worth a punt but I can see the Chiefs having this game locked up by halftime.  Pitt is gonna need some extraordinary special teams plays or get multiple turnovers to have a shot in this one.  I'd like to see Ben's career keep going but this is probably his last game.  Good luck on your bet.

Steelers are leading after a T.J Watt fumble recovery to slide it into the endzone, literally. And for his first career touchdown at that since he is on the Defensive line.
They were @5.80x to win prematch so maybe it wasn't such a crazy bet to take afterall.
Mahomes is looking bad and the old timer is showing the young gun what post season is all about.

Agreed. It is very difficult to bet money on an old quarterback who is not an abnormality like Tom Brady hehe. Their opponent is also the Chiefs. If it was maybe the Bengals or the Raiders they might have a chance. However, here I am. I was the one who made a losing bet on a wildcard-multi of 3 player props to go over passing yards hehehe.

@rdbase. You posted during the 1st quarter? I started to watch the beginning of 3rd quarter and stopped after 15 minutes. The Chiefs was certain to win.

Well, that didn't last long, did it? Ha. Weird that I wake up real early where I am and the games are all just about done. People probably still partying (or mourning into the bottom of a bottle).

@bbc.reporter Anyway, was fun all the way, and I might still squeeze in a bet or two here and there, but for now, looks like the only ticket I got left is the Packers outright.

[ralle14]

Bucs and Chiefs dominate then the 49ers got the win vs the Cowboys. I can't believe how the 49ers played that one so safe but at the same time, they gave so many chances against the Cowboys to keep it close.

Using my free bet on the Rams -3.5 (thanks to Steve and Sportsbet for giving away some cool coupons ), the only reason why i'm taking the Rams is because the Cardinals had some questionable losses even though they split 1-1 against the Rams in the regular season they had the easier schedule and still regressed further than i've expected.

[rdbase]

Yeah @bbc.reporter posted while still in the 1st. T.J Watt caused a penalty late in the game to cost them a 1st down from what I remember as buwaytress was right, most were still at the end of their glasses by the time the 4th came along.

@ralle14 I am with you on the rams as I think they will have a high scoring match against the Cards even though they have their own J.J Watt back in for this game.
Good luck to us who are backing L.A in this wild card match up not to miss.

Don't know what I was thinking, taking Cardinals last night and hoping for another mild upset. Told myself I wasn't going to bet anything more until Packers play again but ignored my own advice.

So at the moment, if they win Superbowl, I actually make a bit of money (had them on 8.5 odds) but I'm now tempted to just put a final bet on their next game so at least if they win I come away with "worthwhile" profit, or a hedge in case they actually don't make it.

Are you referring to putting money on the Rams going forward? I put a few dollars on the Rams last night. I just hadn’t had faith in the Cardinals since they started what seemed like their downfall several weeks back during the regular season. Plus not having Hopkins was a massive blow to them. Without a star wide receiver there just wasn’t enough elite talent for them on that side of the ball.

From what I read, he will be putting something more on the Packers next match since they win it will put them into Superbowl where his outright bet made at 8.50x odds lies.
Cardinals were not favored at all since Hopkins was out already. And to put more crap on their exit match of the season, they had Budda Baker injured severely enough he had to be carted off the field due to a concussion.
It was a brutal hit which the Rams didn't even get anything out of. There was a holding penalty so that was all for nothing and a loss of good defensive player for Arizona.

Nope, not Rams, as rdbase said, I'm "doubling down" on Packers. They're my last outright ticket so I'd love to bet on them perhaps a ML spread, I smell blood and a big win, or a whimper of a loss. Not just yet, though. I'm going to wait to the end to see if odds are worth pulling trigger for.

Doesn't look familiar to me this weekend Divisional scene, but I fancy one or two more upsets, so I'll keep eyes peeled.

[ralle14]

For now, my leans are the Packers, Titans and Rams +3, as long as Henry plays for the Titans they should take care of business against the Bengals. The same goes for the Packers, the Niners have some questionable plays against the Cowboys so I doubt they'll be able to play that cautiously against a solid Packers team at home. The Rams seems like toss up but I prefer the extra points since they took down the Bucs during the regular season.

Odds keep dropping for Packers (was hoping for the other direction) so it's really not quite so worth it, so I've now put them as a padding to all my other football (soccer) picks. Barely 14/10 now with a price boost, so value's out the window.

At this point, though, Rams do look the best value bet, 24/10 with a price boost, and if you want add a bit of sweet spread as I don't think there will be ANY close games here.

Thinking of the same thing might put them in a multi together with the Titans.

I agree if the underdog is going to cover they're probably going to win straight up so might as well take the moneyline for better odds.

The Bills is also another contender for the upset kind of crazy how the bookies are on point with these playoff matchups.

The divisional are the final curtain for all the teams involved so they will fight til the bitter end to secure the win. By all means necessary.
There is a free to enter challenge for these weekend's matches from sportsbet.io at the link below:

Put in your picks and of course you'll be putting those Packers to advance further into the round.

The odds makers are usually really spot on when it comes to playoff in the NFL. It is like they have a crystal ball or something to tell of how it will all play out.
Very exciting to watch never the less.

Here we go in roughly 3 hours time. The weekend for the "Win it or your out!" part of the post season.

Both home sides are favorites to win today which include the Titans and the Packers (buwaytress pick to win it all!).
So if you want to put in your selections they are still available nearly 1.45x but are slowly going down.

Tomorrow will be the Chiefs and the Buccs.

Good luck on your picks in the NFL!

[ralle14]

Good thing I skipped the Titans game, they already turned the ball twice and I can't believe the Bengals barely capitalized on it and somehow the Titans are still in it.

Bought a point on the Packers spread so I could push it down to -3.5 I still think the Packers should win by at least a touchdown, it's just that watching the Titans game made me a bit cautious.  

Edit: What an upset by the Bengals, just when the Titans got things going they turn it over in the final possession.

[buwaytress]

So I was asking for upset picks and not a single person here or anywhere guessed there would be 2 last night, and one knocking out tourney favourites too. Sadly, my Packers journey ends here. Killing not only my outright but additional bets placed using them as supposed acca padding.

After MLB, NFL bow outs, I think I will be limiting my bets to pure outrights next season haha.
