• Belichick interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons

• Jason Kelce retires after a 13-year career with Philly

• The Saints fired some coaches

• Connection made between Vrabel and the Seahawks

We went over all the games and gave our thoughts last night on the live stream (and podcast) but today I just wanted to treat it as a prep day for next weekend’s four games.

Divisonal Round Lines

Houston at Baltimore -9, total 44 (4:30 pm Sat)

Total getting bet down off the opener of 46, Texans also getting some action as we saw a bunch of 9.5s at open

Green Bay at San Francisco -9.5, total 50.5 (8:15 pm Sat)

Total getting bet up at places that opened lower than 50.5 and any +10s available for Green Bay are starting to disappear off the board.

Tampa Bay at Detroit -6, total 48.5 (3 pm Sun)

A couple of the soft openers had this at Detroit -4.5/5 and were bet up last night, now some -6.5s showing. Total is fairly steady, but 48s are getting bet to the over.

Kansas City at Buffalo -2.5 total 46 (6:30 pm Sun)

Some -3s were around yesterday during the games/into the evening, but we’ve settled at -2.5 across the screen. The total starting to center on 46

Weather🌦

Baltimore - Mid 20s and a decent chance for winds 15-25 mph

San Francisco - right now a HIGH chance of rain on Saturday, could be a gross night in Santa Clara

Detroit - has a roof, should be fine

Buffalo - Cold, temps around 20 degrees with some winds, but nothing wild like last week. Sounds like they should have the snow from this weekend all cleaned up though!

Injuries

Texans

• DE Jerry Hughes was inactive last week after not practicing with an ankle injury

• WR Noah Brown joins Tank Dell on the IR

• LB Denzel Perryman exited with a rib injury but signs point to him being ready to play this week

• Laremy Tunsil did return after exiting with a knee injury, he’s perpetually questionable.

Ravens

• Mark Andrews did return to the practice field, but it doesn’t sound like he’s back quite yet. Harbaugh says they are sticking to the original timetable for his return.

• Without a game last week, we didn’t get many updates. Guys to monitor: Zay Flowers, Kyle Hamilton, Marlon Humphrey, and Malik Harrison.

Packers

• Jaire Alexander was on the report all week with shoulder and ankle injuries. He left the game with an ankle injury in the 3Q.

• LB Isiah McDuffie also exited with a stinger

• OLB Kingsley Enagbare is likely out for an extended time with a knee injury (likely ACL tear)

• A.J. Dillon missed the Cowboys game with neck and thumb injuries. Did not practice at all last week.

49ers

• Christian McCaffery sounded like he was going to be ready to go for this, but worth keeping an eye on his practice reports.

• Just like the Ravens, not much news last week. Players to watch: Arik Armstead, Tashaun Gipson, Ambry Thomas, and obviously CMC.

Bucs

• The Buccaneers came in fairly healthy and left the same. Rachaad White limped off the field in the 2Q, but returned

Lions

• WR/PR Kalif Raymond missed the Rams game with a knee injury

• Sam LaPorta had a massive knee brace on, but looked fine. Somehow.

• Alex Anzalone hurt his shoulder but says he’s “good to go” for this upcoming game

Chiefs

• WR Kadarius Toney was inactive last week but did practice a bit, someone to monitor

• Rashee Rice was shaken up and limped off the field but was able to return.

• DT Derrick Nnadi was knocked out of the game with an elbow injury

• LB Cam Jones missed part of the game with a chest injury

Buffalo

• Linebacker Terrel Bernard injured his ankle and was carted off. X-rays were negative and it’s being called a sprain.

• LB Baylon Spector (who was filling in for the missing Tyrel Dodson) injured his back during the game.

• CB Christian Benford hurt his knee on the “sideline fumble” play and was replaced by Kaiir Elam

• Slot Corner Taron Johnson was taken out of the game and evaluated for a head injury. Not sure if he’s officially in the protocol

• Guard Connor McGovern was down on the field and exited, but returned almost immediately. Stefon Diggs also exited briefly after being shaken up.

• The punter pulled his hamstring chasing down the return after a blocked field goal attempt. Sam Martin did come back and punt once in the 2nd half but had a bit of a limp. The Bills may have to look at bringing someone in.

• Gabe Davis was unable to go against the Steelers

• CB Rasul Douglas and S Taylor Rapp were also out yesterday. Maybe one positive note: Douglas said he was close and would be good to go next week.
