Our Wild Card weekend NFL picks VS the spread

Colin D. | January 3, 2014

The regular season is over so there are fewer games to pick each week in the South Stands annual NFL pickoff VS the spread. With only three games separating first and third place in our contest these next few weeks will be crucial.

Here’s how our pickers see the Wild Card games …

Kansas City @ Indianapolis (-2) 
The first of the Wild Card weekend games could be one of the best. The Chiefs visit the Colts in Indianapolis. Indy win the regular season tilt between these two teams. Kansas City is noted for its defense yet has been scoring prolifically as of late. The pressure will be on Andrew Luck to bring his squad post-season success as the replacement to Peyton Manning.
Colin’s pick: Indianapolis -2 
Reidy’s pick: Indianapolis -2
Snyder’s pick: Indianapolis -2

Scott’s pick: Kansas City +2

New Orleans @ Philadelphia (-2.5) 
Chip Kelley got his Iggles into the playoffs in his very first season as head coach. Quarterback Nick Foles has been a nice surprise in wrestling the starting job away from Michael Vick. Philly gets to play at home on Saturday night, welcoming the inconsistent but dangerous Saints to town for what should be among the more high scoring of this weekend’s games. 
Colin’s pick: New Orleans +2.5 
Reidy’s pick: Philadelphia -2.5
Snyder’s pick: New Orleans +2.5

Scott’s pick: New Orleans +2.5 

San Diego @ Cincinnati (-7) 
The Chargers probably should not even be in the playoffs but they are thanks to a crummy non-call on a Chiefs field goal attempt in a game that the Chargers were lucky to win even though Kansas City rested all of its starters. For the Wild Card they travel to Cincinnati to play the Bengals, the third seed in the AFC, and their wild offense which has been particularly productive at home. This should be a good game on Sunday morning.  
Colin’s pick: Cincinnati -7 
Reidy’s pick: San Diego +7
Snyder’s pick: San Diego +7

Scott’s pick: San Diego +7

Green Bay VS San Francisco (-3) 
The Packers are the only home dog on Wild Card weekend. They welcome Colin Kaepernick and the ‘Niners to Lambeau Field on Sunday evening. Aaron Rodgers is back under center for the Pack and Green Bay looks poised to make a run – if they can weather San Fran’s storm. 
Colin’s pick: Green Bay +3 
Reidy’s pick: Green Bay +3
Snyder’s pick: Green Bay +3

Scott’s pick: San Francisco -3
