We went 2-2 on our picks in the NFL playoffs’ divisional round, with wins coming on the Denver Broncos money line and the New England Patriots covering the spread. Unfortunately, the under just missed in the Seattle Seahawks’ dominant win over the San Francisco 49ers, and the Los Angeles Rams survived in overtime but didn’t cover against the Chicago Bears. One conference championship game features a massive line move that doesn’t quite match what’s happening on the field. When this line opened, it quickly moved toward Seattle, a sign that sharp bettors see the Seahawks as the superior team. The Rams, meanwhile, have survived rather than impressed, needing late comebacks in both playoff games and struggling to move the ball consistently.
