Jesus guys, that was one helluva first day of the weekend for these play-offs!
Weather did indeed play a major factor there @bbc.reporter !
To the point the Bills game was moved from the heavy snow storm that postpone their matchup with the Steelers to Monday from what I remember seeing on the situation there with the blizzards.

Had both the Texans and Chiefs winning last night and neither disappointed in my NFL predictions.
And a huge congratulations to @morvillz7z for that solid 5.00x betbuilder on the Houston game.
Well played and good to see ahead in hindsight that Flacco's confidence was going to eventually collapse so very well done!

Chiefs were locked in since the weather did play a huge factor as well with it being the 4th coldest NFL game ever.
It started cold and since it was nighttime it plunged even further I think to -5 or something like this so it was very cold and conditions the Miami boys were not prepared for.

This was the match that won me the most as it was on all my slips and the last leg to win on an acca with some MMA fights.

So overall a very successful weekend.
How was all of yours, hopefully just as good!

The Cowboys don't look like the same home team that always dominates in the regular season. On the other side, the Packers did great, always scoring a TD on their drive and even converting TDs on turnovers. Dropped an impressive 27 points in the first half, and the Cowboys' defense could barely stop their offense.

With the odds still not budging for the Rams and Lions, i'll just take what I can get with the odds boost.

[bbc.reporter]

@ralle14. I reckon after witnessing how the Cowboys lose against the Packers, we cannot underestimate the Rams. Matthew Stafford is a better quarterback than Jared Goff, the Rams have rookie offensive player candidate Nacua, Cooper Kupps is healthy and Kyren Williams appear to have been doing his job good enough for what his team needs. This would be not very surprising if the underdogs are not really the underdogs heheheeh.

[rohang]

what a huge upset by GB packers, putting 48 points as a 3.5+ odds underdog 

2 games today including the postponed one and i dont think both favorites should have any issues winning and coverinng the handicaps

Those were some games last night and the huge upset of the Dallas Cowboys who were major favorites destroyed almost all accas. They were @1.30 prematch to beat the Green Bay Packers.
Those were sucker odds and everybody fell for it including myself, unfortunately destroying my last betslip of the night. We would of seen that score coming as the Packers lead 27-0 at one time in the game.
Dallas was mounting a comeback very late in the game but couldn't get past the Packers defense.
So they are out of the playoffs, just like that.

The wild card game was just that wild!
Lions won it with Goff and breaking a 32 year old drought which made the fans relieved because it could of ended in hearbreak since possibly rookie of the year had 182 yards breaking a record last night. https://www.thescore.com/s/26192556
But unfortunately Puka Nacua team loss to Detroit and it ended up being 24-23.
@ralle14 very sad to see that betslip was dead.

But as rohang has mentioned above we have the postponed match being played tonight that is if the conditions have allowed them to start clearing all that snow and if the weather holds up in the next 9-10 hours before kick-off.

Here are those markets:

I'm not even a Cowboys hater but how anticlimactic finish of the season, they did the most Cowboys thing ever, make a fool of themselves on national television, as SAS likes to say: "The Cowboys are just the accident waiting to happen!"

...and in the process, they ruined multiple tickets of mine, couldn't even get that garbage time TD for Lamb.

Anyway, i was lucky with the weekly Sb promos and got a bunch of free bets laying around, this is what i cooked in 5 minutes:



Allen has been vulturing carries inside the red zone since their bye, and i think there is a good chance he gets one today.

[Sims25]

I have Buffalo and the over in the first game and the over in the second game.

The ending was so tight that the points mattered and you guys are right about the Rams.

That's one game down with the Bills covering the spread.

The next match is difficult to call since the Eagles have been losing against weaker teams and that made me go with the Bucs spread (+3.5) even though I understand that the Eagles are the better team here.



Edit: The Bucs didn't even need the points.

Matthew Stafford played better than Jared Goff, I reckon. If the Rams have gotten 1 touchdown from the 3 that they were in the redzone on the 2nd half, they certainly would have won the game.

In any case on this next game, the Eagles does not have AJ Brown, Jalen Hurts will play with an injured finger and Devonta Smith has a minor leg injury.

[rdbase]

Buffalo are through with a great performance and it wasn't in any doubt that they would go thru to the next championship game against the Chiefs.
Here are some pictures of the fans having fun in the snow:


Next up is Tampa lets see if Baker can do it against the Eagles! Hurts has a hurt finger.
Markets are still up so be quick! :

Buffalo fans getting a 2 for 1 on sunday as theyll see taylor swift ( gf of kelce) without having to pay her concert fees lol   

[rdbase]

They will be looking for Taylor Swift in the crowd to get a freebie mini-concert just like in their last game. If they are winning that is.
She will be breaking out in song & dance to cheer up the crowd around her with no cozy box to keep out of the cold winter's air this time Tae Tae!

So the matchups are set for this weekend and to see who will advance in the AFC & NFC divisions for the chance to play at the SuperBowl just a month away on February 11th in Las Vegas!

Here are the markets for those games coming up starting on Saturday:

I've got this parlay cooking with mostly the match-winner favorites and should be down to three legs, with the Ravens likely closing out with a win against the Texans. 

I expect the first three legs to come in, and then it gets dicey with the Bills vs. Chiefs match tomorrow.

[rohang]

Both favorites won yesterday which makes me think the dogs put on a show today  

The odds on kc chiefs are tempting but probably more value on TB odds, after all the lions gonna lions this and disappoint  



I think ill put some on that if my balance survives esports lol

[morvillz7z]

Both the Bucs and the Lions are decent at defending/stopping the run, but they struggle in the passing game, ranking near the bottom of the league (reg season) in opponent yards per pass attempt and opponent passing yards per game. It is exactly where i am looking at and where my bet will go.

Goff threw for 353 yards in Week 6 against the Bucs, and i wouldn't be surprised if he tops 300+ again. The Sun God, LaPorta, and J. Willimas all look good for a rec TD, but i'd rather go with Goff's 2+ passing touchdowns here...playing it safe, i guess.

[rdbase]

Watching the pre-game show and everybody is confident on those Detroit Lions to win, which worries me.
Once everybody is on a team they seem to lose.

This is the play-offs after all and what rohang said in his earlier post rings true most definitely here.

I still am going with the home teams today for both matches.
Bills are solid at home but Chiefs are killers in the post-season when their backs are to the wall.

Markets if you want to put in a bet at the last second for the Lions and the Bills later on after this one:

I get the same feeling you do when everyone is on one side it's a trap bet.  Detroit looks good but the bucs have been staying with them.  And for me I'm on the other side I'm on the kc side tonight.  For whatever reason whenever the playoffs hit mahomes just does his thing.  They might not win but dude always is in the game, the moment never seems too big.  I got kc going to the SB again..

As predicted Taylor was going to be on the outside looking in on Kelce.

She was talking earlier in the owner's box with Travis brother Jason who was seen the latest loss taking the Eagles out of the post season. He was seen crying in that game and even speculating to retire.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39320253/jason-kelce-tells-eagles-teammates-retiring-sources-say
But that was a spare of the moment thing.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-12985085/Jason-Kelce-brother-Travis-denies-reports-Eagles-retiring-loss.html

Will see how this game plays out as it is tied so far.
Both teams are looking shaky so far but Bills are scoring right now with a confident Josh Allen.
Hopefully Bills can upset the Chiefs 2-0 record against them in these play-offs.

I wanna see the Bills win myself, but it's not going to be an easy task. Bills up 10-3 currently and the Chiefs are driving down filed like it's nothing. Neither team seems to be able to stop the other so far. Chiefs have an advantage as Buffalo has 3 big defensive guys out for today.

Unfortunately, NFL kickers are terrible this weekend. Buffalo just missed a 44 yd fg to tie the game and Green Bays kicker missed 2 fg in yesterdays game which if he hit both, they win. I would fire em both lol.

[ralle14]

The Bills were so close to a game-winning TD in the last 4 to 5 minutes of the fourth quarter it almost made me think my bet was cooked, but the Chiefs' defense somehow got the stop within the FG range.

The unexpected part was the missed FG from their kicker. I surely thought it would go to OT when they had a good field position.

I'm happy that I finally get to hit a rare parlay, thanks to the Chiefs.
