The Seahawks (+9.5), Dolphins (+13.5) and Ravens (+9.5) are all significant road underdogs entering Wild Card Weekend.
But which of the three teams, if any, has a chance to upset the cards?
Dolphins @ Bills (-13.5): Sounds like the grill has already been greased up for the Dolphins, starting a rookie QB (in place of Tua Tagovailoa), and banged up at several other key positions, while the Bills, a huge home favorite in this spot, carry all the momentum of a very-inspired team destined for Arizona.
But be careful with betting the Bills to cover all those points. That's after you go read up on your NFL history!
Stay away from this game!!!
If would not shock if ...
Ravens @ Bengals (-9.5): Another spot where it just seems to good to be true.
For all the Lamar Jackson drama, the Ravens defense has the goods to create serious problems for Joe Burrow, while relying on their running game to shorten things up on offense.
Another thing: Burrow has been relatively quiet this week. It's been another Joe (Dixon) doing a lot of talking on behalf of the Bengals. These games also tend to be very close. I expect another one.
Seahawks @ 49ers (-9.5):
This is where my hope for the road 'dogs comes to a sudden halt. While I expect Seattle to cause some problems for Brock Purdy, who is making his first career playoff start, I really fear for Geno Smith's safety.
I see a low-scoring game with the 49ers having their way all day.
