  Love getting points with the better defense. Buffalo's D allowed the second-fewest points per game, and ranks #3 in fewest yards allowed. Houston's D allowed the fourth-most passing yards this season, and allowed the fifth-most yards per game.
  
  Houston actually has a negative point differential on the season (-7), while Buffalo is +55.
  
  The Texans have the better QB in Deshaun Watson, but Buffalo's Josh Allen is more than capable of getting the job done against this Texans defense.
  
  I also like Bills head coach Sean McDermott over Houston's Bill O'Brien.
  
  Put a little on the money line, too.
  
  PLAY BUFFALO.

  The Patriots have not looked dominant in quite some time. The offense struggles much of the time. New England just lost at home to Miami as double-digit chalk last Sunday, while the Titans rolled the Texans in Houston. Tennessee has looked very tough since Ryan Tannehill took over at QB. Add it all up, and many bettors like the Titans. But last week's loss just adds fuel to the fire for a Patriots side that hasn't had to play on Wild Card weekend in ten years. The experience edge Belichick and Brady have over Vrabel and Tannehill is significant (this is Tannehill's first playoff start). The Patriots have been playoff home chalk of less than a TD three times since 2015. They are a perfect 3-0 SU and ATS in that role. Just when you're ready to count the Patriots out, they deliver (see our Patriots pick over Buffalo from two weeks ago).
  
  PLAY NEW ENGLAND.

(701) Oregon at (702) Utah U
The quick turnaround, from Thursday night to Saturday afternoon is difficult for even flexable college athletes that have most everything paid for and help with their studies. Seeing that this game comes on the heels of a Thursday night event isn't as overwhelming than it will be in late January and February when school work is required. It is even more difficult considering this is the second game at altitude against a quality opponent in less than 48 hours.

The perimeter defense of the Horned Frogs is the best that this beyond the arc challenged ISU group has or will see in 2019-20. The four guard set of the Frogs assist in nearly 65% of all points scored.

(719) Alabama at (720) Florida
The Crimson Tide under a first-year head coach have yet to come together to the level that is neccessary to be competitive with the top half of the conference clubs, e.g. Florida Gators.
Bama is a guard-heavy offensive scheme that only on rare occasions do they find the Rocky Mountains to take the ball to the rim.
The matchup for the Tide versus a Gator perimeter defense that is argualby the best in the SEC is not a favorable matchup, especially being played in Floriday.

TENNESSEE @ NEW ENGLAND | 1/04 | 8:15 PM EST
At the risk of opting against Tom Brady, a famously bad-weather QB, the rainy forecast favors Tennessee with indefatigable RB Derrick Henry. The Titans do not throw much anyway with QB Ryan Tannehill, who has proven efficient down the season’s stretch. This line is boosted by the Patriots’ incomparable playoff success, which cannot be discounted. But the visitors have been superior lately, as a 5-2 ATS record attests, while the Pats closed 1-4-1 ATS. New England went 3-3 straight-up this season against plus-.500 foes, and every winning margin was by one score. Take Tennessee.

TENNESSEE +4.5
TENNESSEE @ NEW ENGLAND | 1/04 | 8:15 PM EST
10:07 AM
Since Ryan Tannehill took over as the starting quarterback for Tennessee, the Titans have won seven of 10 games. Tennessee played six teams with a winning record, and in those games the offense averaged 6.0 yards per carry and 9.4 yards per pass. Last week against Houston, Derrick Henry ran for 211 yards and three touchdowns. Meanwhile the Patriots lost two home games in December, including last week as a 17-point favorite with a bye on the line. The Patriots have been outgained in four of their last six games and are 1-4-1 ATS against teams with a winning record. Take the points.

BUFFALO @ HOUSTON | 1/04 | 4:35 PM EST
9:58 AM
Buffalo has played five games against teams with a winning record and has gone 1-4 while averaging just 14.2 points per game. Houston quarterback Deshaun Watson rates out three points better than the average quarterback while Buffalo's Josh Allen, who will be playing his first playoff game, was one point below average. Defensive lineman J.J. Watt returns for Houston, which is a one-point upgrade for the Texans defense. I have Houston.
