Thanks Fellas appreciate the well wishes 

Lets have a profitable Divisional weekend 

 BOL Mac Attack ! 

Good point Rudy

I’m sticking with my bet @ -3.5

I rarely hedge a bet,  that article I put here was just his opinion only I don’t let anyone else sway my own final decision.

I also believe w/ Henry back if Titans win they will also Cover the number but WTf do I know 

just wanted to hear what others thought of the article 

Here's another article maybe of interest: pick your poison fellas I've made mine

49ers-Packers betting preview: Dare to compare in the NFC divisional round

The 49ers were the lone underdogs to survive the wild-card round. Can they do it again?

There's no suspense here since last week I recommended the start of a rollover moneyline parlay instead of a 49ers future. I did so knowing full well that the next opponent would be the Packers, barring an unexpected Eagles upset.

The question we need to answer for this game isn't, how can the 49ers win? Instead, we need to ask, how can Aaron Rodgers - the NFL's scariest quarterback - and the Packers lose?

Here's a sample of a few of the many comparable metrics between the 49ers' and Browns' defensive schemes:

Both teams feature star defensive ends and are versatile in coverage, with their linebackers able to drop back into the secondary. Despite owning the fourth-lowest blitz rate, the 49ers are third in the league in sack percentage.

Maybe you think it's an insult to San Francisco to compare it to Cleveland, but that's the point. The Browns visited the Packers for a high-profile Christmas night game in Week 16 and lost by just two points despite four interceptions from Baker Mayfield. If the 49ers are better than the Browns - who won the yardage battle that night 408-311 - why can't they win this game?

Of course, San Francisco was on Green Bay's schedule, as this game will be a rematch of the Packers' 30-28 win at Levi's Stadium in Week 3. The 49ers came back from 17 points down to take a late lead in that contest, only to see Rodgers lead a game-winning field goal drive with less than a minute left.

San Francisco profiles as a tough matchup for Green Bay and have proven it once already this season, but the 49ers' injury report has helped keep this spread at +6 - roughly a point and a half higher than previous market-based projections. Garoppolo, Nick Bosa, and Fred Warner are all banged up, though all are expected to play. They're going to need to suit up for San Francisco to have a chance here. Outside of Deebo Samuel, those three are the most important pieces on this roster.

Meanwhile, the Packers appear to be getting healthier with regulars David Bakhtiari, Za'Darius Smith, and, most critically, Jaire Alexander on track to return. However, with hardly any game action under their belts this season, will they be up to playoff speed?

The Pick?

To beat Rodgers, the 49ers need to turn threes into sevens. Things got dicey for them in Dallas last week when they opted to kick on fourth downs. With the No. 1 red zone touchdown conversion rate in the NFL this season (67.3%), San Francisco can certainly keep pace with the Packers, who rank a pedestrian 18th in converting red-zone trips.

The 49ers' strong run defense will take the starch out of the Packers' play-action game, but the secondary needs to limit the penalties which killed them in the first matchup.

But the key here will be Elijah Mitchell and Samuel, who combined for just two carries in the Week 3 loss to Green Bay. The pair will help control Saturday's game, which comes down to another last-minute drive.

Bet: 49ers +6, rollover moneyline parlay (+215)

 In response to the Titans/Bengals matchup- Also agree that the Titans are underrated and have been all season. Mike Vrabel has proven to be a good coach in this league and coaching is so critical in playoff games that it could be the difference alone. That being said the 3.5 number is one that we all hate. Very possible that this game is a 3 point finish either way seeing that these offenses should move the ball easily. Just can't see this being a defensive game. Not sure if Titans have much of a home field advantage here as they aren't exactly known for a rowdy fan base. As far as King Henry goes, he hasn't played in a long time now. That being said I wouldn't be surprised if he ran for 200 yards. The guy is a freak of nature. The game to me comes down to stopping the Bengals passing attack. It seemed to me that they were a little conservative against the Raiders and could have scored 30 if they wanted to. Jamar Chase is unstoppable and will be one of the great wide receivers in this league for years to come. I expect big numbers from Cincy offense this week. Mostly for me it's the fact that the Bengals are kind of playing with nothing to lose here. Regardless of the outcome of this game they will be a playoff team for years to come with a young talented offense. Put them in the underdog role here and I have to take the Bengals. BOL mac

BOL @brn2loslive2win

respect your opinion mah man

Either way may the best team Cover & prevail 

I like the Titans to win too.  Good luck

@Macwestie1

 Good stuff Mac! 

We are on the same side for all four games!  Good luck to us!   

Best of luck this weekend Mac! It'll be action packed and sum of us will be very happy and sum of us will have our hearts broken! 

Bol Mac!! It was a fun season but it's come to and end. Hold this place together will ya. Class act all the way!!

Hey Mac... I like the picks.. I am on all but the San Fran game. Not sure... if 5 1/2 and less, I like the Packers.. I am taking the Pack ML.. Best of luck! 

Don't know why people always wanna fade Aaron Rodgers when time and time again he proves everybody wrong...

Mac Daddy !!! I love the Titans today !! Jumped on them at -3 and -3.5 and have them on the winning end of 2 ML parlays.

JIMMY has his hands full today but the 49ers are hot no doubt but it won't be hot in Green bay and JIMMY has never play in the cold.

Mr.Rodgers is a BADDDDDD man and I have the Packers on some winning ML parlays so maybe we both win buddy. One dog has to win this weekend and I think it might be the Rams , too much love for the Bills so I'll take KC at home at -2 all day and you watch that line jump by game time to -3

Hedge for safety ?

the talk about Henry when he is healthy seems right except I don't believe is back to full strength.  I bet he shares the carries and might even reinjure himself.  Tennessee still ok with their other backs.

Good luck today!

@Macwestie1
