Raiders defense will get some points and be enough to beat the Texans. Raiders win 13-10
Detroit beating Seattle.....someone we don't expect will go 1-2 rounds more than we expect. I don't want that team to be Seattle or Miami. Upset special for no damn reason. Detroit upsets 24-23
Giants/Packers....damn. Winner might go to Super Bowl. I think all the favorites might be wanting both of these teams to lose. Packers win 30-27
Steelers vs Dolphins.....nothing about this says win for the Dolphins but a turnover or two by Steelers offense, their often bad field position winning because of the worst kick coverage and constant holds on punt returns...and most importantly can't stop teams on 3rd down and Ajayi rushed over 200 yards on them last time....they'll focus on stopping him but that opens up Artie getting burnt deep. Steelers should win but simply nothing will surprise me. Steelers win 27-23

Not sure sportslady will approve of people talking about teams they are not a fan of, but I will go for it anyways since he paid me a great compliment a day or so ago so maybe those fences are mended.
Raiders are my big upset, even though its only against Houston.
Do not see the Lions winning in Seattle but Stafford could get hot, but I doubt it.
I expect the Packers to win but there are times Eli and the Giants just come out and surprise when I least expect it.
Steelers/Dolphins. I will keep those thoughts to myself but if they get beat it will be extremely disappointing with them coming into the postseason with the big 3 healthy and the defense playing better . I can almost see/heard Renegade on the jumbotron now...........

Houston -- Houston's defense too tough for any Oakland QB. Osweiler's benching is impetus for him to turn it over less and give the defense more opportunity to be the winning factor.
Detroit -- Stafford with a hot day against a dinged Seattle defense.
Pittsburgh -- Bell with a big day in the cold.
NY Giants -- Beckham with a big day against the suspect Green Bay defense at play-off speed.

I think that pass bounced off Crabtree's hand on the ground up to where he got control above the ground -- should be ruled a catch.

39 herded that ball into the EZ for a touchback after the first two to touch it made great plays.

Raiders punt coverage geesh....2 guys make a great an athletic play to get ball on 1 yard line then a genius comes sliding in full speed giving himself 0% chance to get himself stopped or keep ball from end zone.

What was that call? Offensive PI and the receiver did absolutely nothing. Defensive guy held his arm a bit but literally nothing else happened.

There usually seems to be an oversupply of "geniuses" on punt plays!

It happens I know but I feel bad for the Raiders. Top 5 MVP candidate and 2 other Pro Bowl players out.

I feel good for the easy money I'm getting in your playoff points deal. I only wish they hadn't picked up that TD or I'd be all up on that "least points in a game" add-on, too.

Not to jinx myself, but betting against Connor Cook was the easiest money in a while.

Connor Cook is so bad. One of the worst NFL performances I've ever seen

Only thing I'm pissed about is not putting everything I own on Houston.

A coach named Jim Bob Cooter. It could only get better if he was from Kentucky.
