Two NFC East rivals will meet tonight when the Philadelphia Eagles play host to the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. Let’s face it, the NFC East is pathetic and so are the Giants and Eagles. With that said, Philadelphia has owned New York, winning the last 7 meetings and have not lost to them at home since 2013. The Eagles’ Carson Wentz had his way with the Giants last year, picking them apart for 614 yards in their two meetings. The Giants are coming off a win over the lowly Washington Football Team but just barely eking it out, 20-19, so don’t get too excited.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES M/L

If anyone can slow down Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs offense, it’s the San Francisco 49ers. Their defense is relentless. They are #1 against the pass and #17 against the rush. If the 49ers do what they do best, run the ball, they will get the job done. The Chiefs defense is 26th against the rush.
TONIGHT’S PICK: SAN FRANCISCO 49ers +1

The Tennessee Titans will be at Arrowhead Stadium today to face the Kansas City Chiefs in the Conference Championship game. They got to this point by knocking off two of the best in the business on the road, the New England Patriots and the Baltimore Ravens. The Titans held the Patriots and Ravens to a combined 25 points and their running back, Derrick Thomas, has been off the charts. Thomas had 182 yards against New England and 195 against Baltimore. With Kansas City ranked 26th against the rush, the Chiefs had better be careful. The Titans were able to contain Brady and Jackson, so why not Mahomes, too? Tennessee won the first meeting this year, 35-32, are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 road games and are being spotted 7 points.
TODAY’S PICK: TENNESSEE TITANS +7

The Houston Texans will be spotting the Buffalo Bills 2.5 points today when they host the Western New Yorkers in the Wild Card Game. The last time the Bills won a playoff game was with Jim Kelly and the K-Gun Offense but that drought ends today. The Bills’ stingy defense is ranked third in the league, allowing an average of only 16.2 points per game. Buffalo’s Devin Singletary is averaging 5.1 yards per carry and will move the chains against a Houston team that is ranked 25th against the rush. Buffalo was on the losing end in last year’s matchup with Houston but this is not the same team from a year ago. The Bills are 5-0-2 ATS in their last 7 games as a road dog and get it done today.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +2.5

Are the Dallas Cowboys back on track? It appears that they are after last week’s 44-21 blowout over the Los Angeles Rams. Today they will swagger into Lincoln Financial Field to face a team they have dominated, the Philadelphia Eagles. Dallas has won the last 4 meetings with Philadelphia and put the screws to them back in October, winning 37-10.
TODAY’S PICK: DALLAS COWBOYS M/L

Two of the Black and Blue Division’s bitter rivals, the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers, will meet for the 200th time today at Lambeau Field. The Packers are 6-1 at home and are due for a big day after looking lethargic last week in their 20-15 victory over the hapless Washington Redskins. Chicago has won 3 straight but all 3 of the wins were against teams with major issues. The Packers won the first meeting this year in Chicago, 10-3, and they are 18-5 against the Bears when Rodgers is the starter behind center. Pack get it done.
TODAY’S PICK: GREEN BAY PACKERS M/L

As usual, the Buffalo Bills are getting no respect, but what else is new? They will be a home dog today when they host the Baltimore Ravens. If anyone can slow down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, it’s the 9-3 Buffalo Bills. The Bills defense is ranked third in the league and on the other side of the ball, they have a gunslinger named Josh Allen pulling the strings. This guy is the real deal. Buffalo will be on 9 days’ rest after putting the screws to the Cowboys in Dallas on Thanksgiving day. Weather in Buffalo today is 43 degrees and cloudy – just how the Western New Yorkers like it.
TODAY’S PICK: BUFFALO BILLS +6
