The Ultimate Football Weekend Has Arrived!
Get ready for the most epic weekend of football this year, as the top 8 teams battle it out for a shot at the Conference Championships. To help you make informed bets, we’re sharing our expert cheat sheet, featuring lines courtesy of the Draftkings Sportsbook.
Houston Texans vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Saturday, 4:30 PM on ESPN
KC -8.5, T 41.5
We’ve got two promising plays in this matchup. Firstly, the Texans have an impressive 14-4 ATS record in the first half this season, and CJ Stroud boasts a 26-9 ATS record in the first half throughout his career. Additionally, the Chiefs’ A-Team hasn’t seen action in over three weeks, which might lead to some rustiness early on. Take advantage of the first half line: HOU +5.5.
Moreover, we love betting on Mahomes’ rushing yards in the playoffs. Historically, he scrambles more during the postseason, averaging 29 rushing YPG compared to 20 during the regular season. The line is set at 23.5.
The Stats Say: Texans 1H +5.5 and Mahomes over 23.5 rushing yards
Washington Commanders vs. Detroit Lions
Saturday, 8:00 PM on FOX
DET -9.5, T 55.5
This game has all the makings of a Lions’ victory. Over their last 17 games with extra rest, the Lions have an impressive 14-3 ATS record. Additionally, the Commanders will be playing their third consecutive road game, a scenario in which teams have covered just 5 of the last 16.
The Stats Say: Lions
Los Angeles Rams vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Sunday, 3:00 PM on NBC
PHI -6, T 43.5
Stafford and McVay have a remarkable 16-6 ATS record together in December or later. Furthermore, Sean McVay has covered 12 of his last 14 games playing on short rest.
The Stats Say: Rams
Baltimore Ravens vs. Buffalo Bills
Sunday, 6:30 PM on CBS
BAL -1.5, T 51.5
Lamar Jackson boasts an incredible 18-3 ATS record as a favorite of less than 3 points or as an underdog. He’s also 18-8 ATS in night games throughout his career. We believe this is the year Lamar finally gets it done.
The Stats Say: Ravens
