We have good betting splits. Illinois should keep this close and have a chance to win. KP has them as the higher rated teams and my models like Illinois. They match up well especially on the offensive side.

Bills are undervalued here. There have been eight home underdogs in the divisional round since 1977. One lost in regulation. Flowers is out while Buffalo is fairly healthy. Bills don't lose at home and they're more equipped to play in the cold weather. Baltimore has slipped in the playoffs before. I expect McDermott to make adjustments from the last time they faced Baltimore.

Cold weather, cross country, in a volatile environment. Rams had the MNF game so they're on a short week. Eagles have won and covered in 7 of the L8 in this series. These teams played earlier in the season. Eagles dominated with the ground game. Rams will have to sell out for the run which should give Jalen Hurts options to look at his pass catchers. Rams defensive line has been good, but the Eagles offensive line is the better unit. They showed that last meeting and they just got stronger since then. Rams are 1-3 ATS as a road dog. They're 0-4 ATS revenging a loss. Eagles are 12-6 ATS on the season. They're 4-1 ATS as favorite of 7 or less. Eagles are also 10-4 ATS on regular rest and 7-1 ATS after a home game.
