The NFL Playoffs are upon us.
The Dallas Cowboys again lost to a division rial on the road to miss the playoffs in Week 17. This year, Tony Romo threw an interception to the flat late in the game to seal Dallas’ fate. With the Washington Redskins locking up the final playoff spot, we know the first round matchups. Here is a quick look at our early thoughts on the games.
Cincinnati Bengals at Houston Texans
The Texans slept through the final four weeks of the season, forfeiting their bye week opportunity. They’ll host an upstart Cincy team that surged through the second half to make the playoffs and finish with ten wins on the year. The Texans look like they should be able to control the game, but it could be a close game. The spread opened at Texans -4, but I’m more comfortable buying this down to 3.
Texans 28 – Cincy 24
Indianapolis Colts at Baltimore Ravens
