The Buffalo Bills finished the season 13-3 going on an absolute tear offensively in the second half of the season. They’ll welcome the 11-5 Indianapolis Colts for a 1:05pm EST kickoff on Saturday in the AFC Wild Card Playoffs.
The Buffalo Bills have put up some serious points on offense recently, scoring 56, 38, and 48 points in their last three games of the season. The offense is led by Josh Allen, who decided he wouldn’t be known for just his legs this season. Instead, Allen threw for 37 touchdowns and 4544 yards in the regular season and is on pace for at least a chance at the MVP award. He’ll get a couple of votes, I’m sure.
This offense scored 31.3 points per game, scoring a total of 60 touchdowns on the season. They converted nearly 50 percent of third downs and when they went for it on fourth down, they succeeded 80 percent of the time. The offense gained over 400 yards per game. While the passing game was excellent, so was the offensive line. The offensive line was very solid in the passing game and did well in run blocking when the Bills chose to run the ball.
However, on defense, the Bills had their problems. The defense allowed 23.4 points per game and just 375 points on the season, but still allowed 44 touchdowns with 4.6 yards per rush. The defense allowed 21 touchdowns on the ground and 366.3 yards per game.
The Colts should be able to run all over the Bills and also pass through an overrated secondary for the Bills. Buffalo has also struggled tackling this season. After Andrew Luck retired, the Colts went and sold Phillip Rivers on a plan. That plan helped them get back into the playoffs.
Meanwhile, the Chargers are not going to the playoffs. Anyway, the Colts have seen some inconsistency from Rivers as he has 24 touchdowns passing and 11 interceptions. The main star of this offense was rookie Jnathan Taylor, who ran for 11 touchdowns on 232 attempts for an average of five yards per carry. He’s in for a big game in this one.
The Colts averaged 28.2 points per game during the regular season and scored a total of 50 touchdowns. Per game, they would outgain you on first downs and many times rush on first down to make things a bit easier on the next couple of plays. The Colts weren’t the best on third down but they always had an answer on fourth down, converting 16 of 26 chances for 61.54 percent of the time.
The Colts offense should have no trouble scoring against the Bills but they’re going to have to keep up with one of the best offenses in football. On defense, the Colts have been the better team against the run and have the better coverage and secondary, but even the best secondary will have a hard time against the Bills.
I’d take over on the betting sites.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Washington Football Team
Saturday, January 9, 2020 – 8:15 PM EST FedEx Field
We can say whatever we want. Maybe Washington didn’t deserve the playoffs or maybe they did. They’re here nonetheless after going 7-9 on the season. They’ll welcome the 11-5 Tampa Bay Buccaneers to FedEx Field on Saturday night.
There was plenty of hype when the Buccaneers landed Tom Brady to be their quarterback. Bucs fans knew they’d see this very moment this year and that’s a playoff game. Tom Brady threw for 4633 yards along with 40 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. As the season progressed, he got better. Plain and simple.
His receiver Mike Evans hurt his knee during week 17 but the MRI showed no structural damage. We will see if Brady gets his wide receiver back for this game. The offense scored 30.8 points per game along with 59 touchdowns but will have a huge test against a very solid Washington defense. The Bucs gained a total of 6,295 yards on the season, which is more than most expected out of Brady and the Bucs.
On defense, the Bucs have struggled with plenty of missed tackles but have a pass rush that should get to Washington in this game. However, we should note that Washington has a solid pass protection and could prevent the Bucs from doing a ton of damage.
Washington will start Alex Smith, who has been easily the most consistent quarterback for Washington this season. He’s played eight games and thrown for 1,582 yards. But this is an offense that has struggled to score behind any quarterback.
The offense averaged just 20.9 points per game while the Bucs allowed just 20.6 points per game. Washington is a slow and methodical team that will try to wear you down on long drives. They just don’t convert on third very efficiently.
The defense has shown off an impressive pass rush and secondary that has left quarterbacks baffled this season. While you can’t fool Brady, you can at least rush his decision making and this defensive front will be all over him in this game.
Brady will have plenty of receivers for this game, even if Mike Evans can’t go. Washington has an incredible defense but the offense will struggle to score enough points. For my best bets, I like the Bucs by double digits in this one.

After Week 1, I blamed myself for missing the $100 parlay by one game. This week, I’m blaming NFL referees, who clearly don’t want to see us prosper.
After the first five legs of my six-game parlay hit, it came down to the Broncos. And after Denver went ahead on Joe Flacco’s two-point conversion pass to Emmanuel Sanders, I’ll admit, I was counting my money. Then the refs intervened.
First came the egregious — EGREGIOUS, I tell you! — roughing the passer call that got the Bears offense going.
Then, the refs and a generous time-keeper gave Chicago an insta-timeout after Allen Robinson was tackled with fractions of a second left on the clock and the Bears out of timeouts. After all of that, we still had a chance. The Bears had to make a 52-yard field goal to win.
Of course, they did.
We soldier on. As always, we’ll be putting together a parlay, using spreads and money lines, that turns $10 into at least $100. Here are the Week 3 picks…
All odds via BetMGM:
Point spreads
Raiders (+9) over Vikings
If you would have told me weeks ago that I’d be picking the Raiders over the Vikings IN Minnesota, I would have punched myself in the face. But here we are. Oakland looks kind of good — the second quarter of the Chiefs game notwithstanding — and the Vikings’ passing game looks really bad. Do you trust Kirk Cousins to cover a nine-point spread? I certainly don’t.
Confidence level: 8/10
Money lines
Packers (-300) over Broncos
This Broncos team is a pain to watch. Particularly when they pass the ball. Joe Flacco is struggling to throw accurate passes to running backs standing a few yards away from him, and this Packers defense looks like one of the best in the league. Even if Aaron Rodgers and Matt LaFleur throw hands on the sideline, Green Bay should have no problem moving to 3-0.
Confidence level: 10/10
49ers (-290) over Steelers
Yes, I know the 49ers have beaten up on two bad teams but that’s typically what good teams do. And we know how much problems the Steelers have had on the West Coast in recent years. Kyle Shanahan will expose the Steelers’ uncoordinated defenses and keep Pittsburgh winless, and Mason Rudolph won’t be able to keep up.
Confidence level: 8/10
Bills (-270) over Bengals
So it turns out the Bengals are actually as bad as we thought they’d be. The Bills, well, they’re exactly what we thought they’d be. The defense is really good, and the offense is just good enough to take care of business against the dregs of the league. Cincy is one of those dregs.

Confidence level: 9/10
Chiefs (-290) over Ravens
It pains me to bet against Lamar Jackson, but have you seen Patrick Mahomes play football lately? He’s even better than he was a season ago. And the Ravens showed some cracks in the armor against what we think is subpar Cardinals team … at home, no less.
Confidence level: 8/10
Redskins (+166) over Bears
Nfl Parlay Bets Odds
I’m not overly confident in this pick, but we needed an underdog pick and this is the best one on the board. The Redskins have looked semi-competent against two really good teams. The Bears passing game is a total mess and I think this is the week we all realize that Mitchell Trubisky isn’t the answer.
Confidence level: 7/10
