In the regular season, Steven Ruiz went 113-109-7 overall and Charles Curtis went 111-124-7 overall. And this week, we’re bringing in our Charles McDonald to make picks as well!

We now go to each of them for comments.

Charles C: Rough season, but I get a second chance in the postseason. And now, a new challenge: facing not one but two incredibly knowledgeable NFL experts.

Steven: One Charl (?) wasn’t enough to take me down, so they had to bring in another.

Charles M: I may be new here, but I’m bringing the pain with these 100% correct picks. I’m also gunning to be only Charles known at For The Win after getting every playoff pick correct.

Colts at Bills (-6.5)

Charles C: Bills

In looking back over the Colts’ schedule this year, I noticed that there were A LOT of wins over bad teams. The losses came against the Titans, Steelers, Ravens, Browns and Jags (in Week 1, ugh!). Conclusion: this is not exactly the most threatening of teams. The Bills take care of business on both sides of the ball and win by at least a touchdown.

Steven: Bills

The more I think about this game, the more I believe the Colts have a legitimate chance to cover. But the Bills offense is a buzzsaw right now and I’m not sure the Indy defense is capable of slowing it down. The Colts’ only hope is Jonathan Taylor running wild against a suspect run defense and Philip Rivers putting together a flawless performance. It’s possible … but not likely.

Charles M: Colts

I think the Bills end up winning this game, but the Colts can make this a game. If Philip Rivers is on his “A” game, he should be able to find some success against the Bills defense. It just won’t be enough to actually get the Colts over the hump and win this game.

Rams at Seahawks (-3.5)

Charles C: Rams

John Wolford? Jared Goff? I think it’s probably the former, but there are other factors: two teams meeting for a third time this season, the Seahawks’ inconsistent offense and an elite Rams defense that will at least keep this game close. It’s too much to back the favorites.

Steven: Rams

I’d like to know more about Jared Goff’s thumb injury before making this pick official but I guess I don’t have that luxury. If he is fully healthy, this is an easy pick for me. Sean McVay has had Pete Carroll’s number over the past few years, and the coaching advantage is what makes the difference for me.

Charles M: Seahawks

When the matchups are this tight, just take the better quarterback. Russell Wilson is better than Jared Goff and John Wolford combined. The Rams pass defense will make it difficult for Wilson and his receivers, but it’s hard to pick against Wilson in this scenario.

Buccaneers at Washington (+8)

Charles C: Buccaneers

I had a lot more trouble with this one than I thought. Washington’s pass rush is a problem for sure. But I just don’t see WFT’s offense getting too much off the ground. Maybe it’s a closer game at halftime, but a Bucs offense that has shown some real life in recent weeks could take off in the second half.

Steven: Buccaneers

Washington’s biggest advantage in this game — that pass rush — will be somewhat mitigated by Tom Brady’s ability to get the ball out in a hurry. And even the Bucs offense does struggle against a good WFT defense, Alex Smith isn’t putting up enough points to keep this one close.

Charles M: Buccaneers

There’s just no way Washington’s offense can generate the points needed to keep up in this game. Tampa Bay’s defense hasn’t been as strong as the early portion of the season, but Washington has one of the worst offenses in the league this year. They averaged just 20.9 points per game, good for 25th in the NFL.

Ravens at Titans (+3.5)

If the Ravens are going to avoid another one-and-done in the playoffs, they’ll have to stop Derrick Henry this time around. (Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports)

Charles C: Titans

I do think this will be the best game of the weekend. But I’m also pretty sure the Ravens are winning this one, revenge for a Week 11 loss to Tennessee in overtime. By how much? That’s where that half-point has me hamstrung. So I’ll take the points and figure this one stays within a field goal.

Steven: Ravens

All those little breaks the Titans caught in last year’s playoff upset aren’t likely to happen again, and this Baltimore defense is better suited to stop Derrick Henry this time around. The Ravens are the better team and that spread is just small enough for me to take them.

Charles M: Ravens

This is the moment. Lamar Jackson will finally get the first playoff win of his career. Jackson has been red hot lately, playing like an MVP talent over the past few games for the Ravens. I think that’ll be enough to get the Ravens over the Titans, whose defense has been pretty bad all season long.

Bears at Saints (-10)

Is Vegas trolling all of us by making the spread the same number that Mitch Trubisky wears? (Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports)

Charles C: Saints

Nope. No. NO. I’m not betting on Mitchell Trubisky in a road playoff game to cover against that Saints defense. Next.

Steven: Bears

Browns Point Spread Today

Uggggghhhh.

I’m betting on Mitch Trubisky. The Bears defense is good enough to keep this within 10 points. Let’s just move on. This is a shameful moment for me.

Charles M: Saints

This one doesn’t need any hard thinking. Saints.

Browns at Steelers (-6)

Charles C: Steelers

The week off will perhaps help Pittsburgh distance itself from the late-season struggles. On the other side, obviously, I have to mention that Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski will miss the game due to COVID-19, but even if he was on the sideline, I’m not sure what happens when the Browns need to go into catch-up mode and Baker Mayfield has to throw against the third-best pass D in the league. I’ll back the Steelers.

Steven: Steelers

Even if EVERYTHING was going right for the Browns, I’d be tempted to lay those points. But they aren’t, so laying those six points is a lot easier. Pittsburgh is getting its best player (T.J. Watt) back this week and will actually put in some effort game-planning — unlike last week. I would also point out that Ben Roethlisberger will be back, but I’m not sure he’ll be much of an upgrade over what Mason Rudolph gave Pittsburgh last week.

Charles M: Browns

I think the Browns can keep it close and cover the spread even without Joel Bitonio and Kevin Stefanski. Winning will be difficult, but this is more about what Ben Roethlisberger is at this point in his career, which is just ok at best. The Steelers probably shouldn’t be touchdown favorites over any playoff teams right now, except maybe Chicago.

Browns at Chiefs: Game notes

The Browns are coming off a huge 48-37 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers and emotions are running high as they continue to be underestimated and looked past. This isn’t your classic Browns team.The Chiefs had a Bye last week as the No. 1 seed in the AFC.These teams have only met three times since 2013, with the Chiefs winning all three. The last time they met was Nov. 4, 2018, a Chiefs 37-21 victory. The Browns are significantly better since that meeting.After throwing seven interceptions in the first two months of the season, Browns QB Baker Mayfield has been insanely safe with the football since November – he’s thrown just one interception since then compared to 11 TD passes. He was an effective 21-for-34 for 263 yards and 3 TDs last weekend.Chiefs rookie RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire (ankle, hip) is a game-time decision after not practicing the past two days. Without him, the Chiefs may be rather one-dimensional unless RBs Le’Veon Bell and Darrell Williams can elevate their game.The Chiefs ranked 16th in the league in rushing yards during the season.The Browns gave up the 11th most passing yards during the regular season (247.6 yards per game) and the 8th-most passing touchdowns (1.9 TDs per game). They gave up a massive 501 yards and four passing touchdowns last week to the Steelers. Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (4,740 passing yards, 38 TDs, 6 INT) could have a field day.

Browns at Chiefs: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Chiefs 32, Browns 27

Money line (?)

If you like the defending Super Bowl Champion Chiefs to advance to the AFC Championship, you won’t find value on the money line at -500. Risking $500 for a $100 profit just isn’t smart betting even if you’re typically a chalk bettor.

I’m considering a small-unit wager on a Cleveland upset. The +375 is a tempting return. After all we’ve seen the past six months, would a Browns victory be that hard to believe? Exactly.

Against the spread (?)

While the Chiefs were 6th in total touchdowns (57) in 2020, they covered just once in the final eight games and were 7-9 ATS overall. The Browns weren’t a great spread team, either, going 6-10 during the season.

What Is The Spread On The Browns Game

The Chiefs opened as 10-point favorites and the line adjusted down slightly to 9.5 (110 on both sides). The Browns, who were third in the NFL in rushing with 148.4 YPG, will try to control the tempo with their rushing tandem of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and keep this one close.

BET THE BROWNS TO COVER 9.5 (-110).

Over/Under (?)

To hit 57.5 (-110 on both sides), which is the highest total on this weekend’s slate by a lot, it’s going to take a decent amount of scoring. Both of these teams can do just that. Cleveland averaged 25.5 points per game and K.C. averaged 29.6. The Browns were 9-7 vs. the O/U while the Chiefs were 8-8 during the regular season.

The lean is a one-unit wager on the OVER, but you will sweat this out until late in the 4th quarter, especially if Cleveland can chew clock with its running game.
