After an inauspicious start during
NFL Wild Card weekend, The Count is ready to win it back in the divisional round.
Look for the
Super Bowl champion
Kansas City Chiefs to cover the 8.5 points against the
Houston Texans. With three weeks rest,
Patrick Mahomes’ team should extend the Texans' divisional game losing streak to six.
Take the points in the
Washington/
Detroit game, as this one should be close and high-scoring. Then, look for the
Eagles to cover against the
Rams in Philly.
In what should be the game of the week, it’s a battle between the league’s front-runners for MVP—
Baltimore’s
Lamar Jackson and
Buffalo’s
Josh Allen. Over the last two years in the divisional round, home teams are 6-2 and both losses are by the Bills, so... The Count is going with the Ravens.
In the college ranks, look for
Ohio State to win the
National Championship but not cover the 8.5 point line. The game will be close, as the
Notre Dame defense has only given up an average of 17 points per game. The Count will tease Notre Dame + 14 with an under 52 total.
Below is the complete schedule of football games this weekend.
