CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS

Packers -3 Bears (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Packers

The Bears could surprise, but I'm not betting on it.

Jets +3.5 Steelers (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Jets

The Jets have almost exclusively focused their trash talking on Steelers WR Hines Ward. I like the strategy. Ward sets a tempo for his team. So if he can be neutralized — or even better, intimidated — the ripple effect will be significant.

DIVISION ROUND

Ravens TEAM O/U @ 17 v. Steelers (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER

Past match-ups between these division rivals have typically been low-scoring affairs, but I like the way the Ravens offense is clicking.

Packers +2 Falcons (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Packers

I think the weight of high expectations will doom the Falcons. The Packers have so many weapons on both sides of the ball.

Seahawks 1st HALF O/U @ 7 v. Bears (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Seahawks

I'll admit — this is purely a left-brained analytical play. The odds strongly favor at least one touchdown to be scored by the Seahawks before halftime.

Jets v. Patriots (H) O/U @ 44

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER

I'm not expecting much offense out of the Jets (something's not right with Sanchez). And they likely know this will be the case as well. The Jets' game plan will involve offensive ball control and containing the New England passing attack.

WILD CARD WEEKEND

Saints v. Seahawks (H) O/U @ 45

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER

A loud, proud Seattle home crowd will help keep the Saints offense in check.

Jets +2.5 Colts (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Colts

The Jets swagger has faded little by little all year. The formal deflation will take effect at Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday.

Ravens -3 Chiefs

DeVoodoo's pick: Chiefs

No respect for KC, no respect.

Packers v. Eagles (H) O/U @ 46.5

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER

Will this be the offensive fireworks display that everyone is expecting? I believe so.

WEEK 17

Titans v. Colts (H) O/U @ 48

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER

Both teams want the regular season to end quickly, but for entirely different reasons. Run the ball, get to the locker room asap.

Chargers v. Broncos (H) O/U @ 47

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER

The Chargers would like everyone to know that had they made the playoffs, they would have been dangerous.

Rams v. Seahawks (H) O/U @ 41.5

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER

Look for a surprisingly high energy game from two teams with a lot of young players trying to make a statement about next year.

Cardinals v. 49ers (H) O/U @ 39

DeVoodoo's pick: OVER

Wouldn't it be just like Alex Smith to close out his 49er career with a three TD game?

Giants -3.5 Redskins (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Giants

This is a gut check for the entire Giants franchise.

Steelers -5.5 Browns (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Browns

The Steelers need to rest a few starters heading into the playoffs, while the Browns would love to close their season strong.

Panthers v. Falcons (H) O/U @ 41

DeVoodoo's pick: UNDER

The Panthers may get shut out.

Raiders +3 Chiefs (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Chiefs

The Chiefs would love to take a winning momentum into the playoffs, especially with such a young team in need of experience.

Jaguars +3 Texans (H)

DeVoodoo's pick: Texans

The Texans will play tough because this is a game that's absolutely meaningless. And that's when they're at their best.
