Late Breaking:
Best Bets
INDIANPOLIS (+6.5) at Baltimore -- Yeah, flipped this one where you would normally expect it as the "Upset Special." But, the Ravens look weaker vs. the Colts than the Texans do against the Bengals. The Ravens defense isn't what it used to be and the offense is just two very good players: RB Ray Rice and WR Torrey Smith. Flacco is a statue back there and inconsistent. Two very good games in this wildcard round. I'm sticking with Pagano & Ariens' Colts' in their miracle year.
Upset Special
CINCINNATI (+4.5) at Houston -- Two defense that almost mirror each other, except that the Texans are weaker at LB & the backfield due to injuries to their original starters during the year. Should be a great shootout with Cinci's QB Andy Dalton and great WR A.J. Green, and Texans' QB Matt Shaub throwing to his standout WR Andre Johnson. Key to the game will be the performance of the Bengals' DL. If they can handle Texans powerful RB Arian Foster, and pressure Shaub well, they can force turnovers and allow their very good offense opportunities to win. Houston enters the playoffs on a slide. They'll hit the sandpile today. Watch Bengals' defensive lineman Geno Atkins outperform the TExans' J.J.Watt in this game.
Gamblers' Corner
MINNESOTA (+9.5) -- If Vikings coach Leslie Frazier loses this one, he won't be offered a contract for next year. Vikes QB Christian Ponder is hurt and may not last if he even starts. Packers too much at Lambeau, but, turnovers could mess with Packers plans. That's Minnesota's only chance. Offense not versatile enough beyond the great RB Adrian Peterson. Very long shot.

That INT with 3 mins. left in the 3rd Q just killed the Bengals. Bad game for Dalton. Shucks.
