My NFL Divisional Round 3-Team Parlay Pick
New England for Moneyline/SU over Kansas CityPackers + Cardinals = OVER 50Seattle + Carolina = UNDER 42Chiefs at Patriots
When: Saturday, January 16 at 4:35 p.m. ET (CBS)NFL Odds: New England (-5)Analysis: After a much-needed week of resting, Tom Brady and Patriots welcome the Kansas City Chiefs Gillette Stadium in a marquee AFC divisional playoff matchup. The biggest news for the Pats is that the team will have most of its starters healthy, including WR Julian Edelman, WR Danny Amendola, TE Rob Gronkowski, S Patrick Chung and LB Dont’a Hightower, among others. However, if we get another strong defensive performance from the 11-game streaking Chiefs like last week, then the Pats could be in trouble. That said, the Patriots are in a whole different league offensively when compared to the Patriots, and with just two losses for the Pats in their last 25 home games, we don’t see the Chiefs upsetting New England. Not to mention, New England is impressively 14-3 SU in the playoffs under Belichick, and 7-1 SU when coming off a wild-card bye in the Divisional round. With such a record, and with the Chiefs also likely to miss the services of their top WR Jeremy Maclin, a win for the Patriots looks highly likely here.NFL Pick: New England beats Kansas City to claim the SU.
