Best Bets

1. Chicago Bears (-1) vs. New York Jets – The Jets Mark Sanchez is hurt and struggles in the cold and Chicago will be frigid on Sunday. The Bears are playing for the No. 2 seed and will win a close one on Sunday.

Next In Line

2. Houston Texans (-2.5) vs. Denver Broncos – The Broncos might be the worst team in football today and QB Tim Tebow is behind center. Expect the Texans to come into Denver and roll the Broncos pretty handily.

3. Atlanta Falcons (-2.5) vs. New Orleans Saints – This is the game the Falcons will bury all hopes of the Saints in the NFC South and secure home field advantage throughout. Expect a close, hard fought game, but one in which Matt Ryan and Michael Turner lead the Falcons to victory by more than a FG.

4. New York Giants (+3) vs. Green Bay Packers – See Money Line Bet

Rounding Out the List

Baltimore Ravens (-3.5) vs. Cleveland Browns – The Browns string of competitive games has come to an end and Eric Mangini is back on the hot seat. Look for the Ravens to win by at least 7 on Sunday.

New England Patriots (-7.5) vs. Buffalo Bills – The Patriots took their foot off the gas pedal vs. the Packers last week which is why the score was so close. With home field theirs for the taking, expect a romp in Buffalo to the tune of a 2 TD victory.

St. Louis Rams (-2.5) vs. San Francisco 49ers – While the Rams and Sam Bradford appear to have hit a wall, outcoaching Mike Singletary is one of the easiest things in sports to do. Steve Spagnuolo will lead his Rams team to at least a three point win.

Money Line Bet

New York Giants (+135) vs. Green Bay Packers

The Giants were embarrassed with their 4th quarter collapse to the Eagles a week ago but they know what lies in front of them. If they beat the Pack, they’re in the playoffs. Green Bay is also fighting for their Playoff lives and have Aaron Rodgers back.

Provided the Giants are mentally in the right place, expect a tough road win. They match up well against Green Bay in that they can run the ball and stop the run. Green Bay does neither of those well. This will be the deciding factor in the game.

The Giants win 20-17 and advance to the Wild Card.
