Wild Card Weekend

Saturday's Play: Kansas City/Indianapolis over 46 -104

Time: 4:35 p.m. ET

Reasoning: Here you have two very smart quarterbacks. Andrew Luck threw eight TDs and one INT over the last four games and Alex Smith tossed for 11 TDs vs. one INT on the road this season. Indy's offense is humming and the Chiefs rested ever one of its starters in Week 17. The Colts' defense has been decimated by injuries. Kansas City has allowed an average of 27.7 points over the last seven weeks. And this game will be played indoors, which should help the over.


Sunday's Play: Green Bay +3 -115

Time: 4:40 p.m. ET

Reasoning: It's obvious the Packers are a different team with Aaron Rodgers under center. He threw for 318 yards in his first game back after a seven-game layoff. Rodgers has the third-best passer rating in NFL history. I like Green Bay to win straight up, but it's safer taking the free field goal. I expect Rodgers to test cornerback Carlos Rogers (hamstring) who, even if he does play, will be limited.

Record: 4-0
