NFL Wildcard 1/5

Minnesota Vikings @ New Orleans Saints (NO -7.5, 49.5) 1:05 PM

Road underdogs have covered the spread in each of the last 10 Wildcard games. However, none of those teams played a 13 win team with the all time leading passer and single season receptions record holder. Kirk Cousins is 0-15 SU against teams with 12 or more wins in his career. Meanwhile, Drew Brees broke his own completion percentage record for a third year in a row. The Vikings defense allows the 6th worst opponent completion percentage this season. The Vikings are 1-4 SU and ATS against this year’s playoff teams and now get a hostile Superdome with a banged up defense and a quarterback that never seems to show up. Who Dat gonna break some Skols today. Final Score Prediction: Vikings 20 Saints 34

Bet: NO -7.5
Confidence: 2 Units
Result: Vikings 26 Saints 20 OT

Seattle Seahawks @ Philadelphia Eagles (PK, 45) 4:40 PM

The Eagles defense has not allowed more than 17 points in 6 straight home games. They have allowed an average of 13.3 ppg in those games and the Under is 6-0. The Seahawks offense scored 21 points or less just twice over their first 10 games, but have done so 4 times over their last 6 games. These teams played back in Week 12, a 17-9 win for the Seahawks. The leading rusher was Rashaad Penny and the leading receiver was Zach Ertz. Penny is Out while Ertz is expected to play coming off a lacerated kidney. Yeah. I’ll take the Under. Final Score Prediction: Seahawks 17 Eagles 20

Bet: Under 44.5
