Sunday NFL Wild Card games
Unlike Saturday, these games do absolutely nothing to excite me. That doesn’t mean I won’t pick them, though. I am a wild man.
New York Giants (+2.5) at Tampa Bay – I have gone back and forth on this one, but in the end I just have to go with the Bucs. I don’t like where the Giants are mentally after losing to the Pats despite laying it all out, and I don’t like their injury status. I am concerned about the Giants pass rush, but not as concerned as the media seems to be. In the end, I just like the Bucs better, and I think that this line presents some value for them. Pick: Tampa Bay.
Tennessee (+9.5) at San Diego – This is the worst game of the weekend. Tennessee is far from healthy. Even at full strength they can’t score. San Diego can, and they have a serious swagger these days. I think the Titans will fold, and the Chargers will run all over them. I don’t trust the Chargers in general, and I hate laying this many points with them, but that’s the only way to go here. Pick: San Diego.
