AFC WILD CARD
DENVER @ BUFFALO (BUF -8.5)
JOSH ALLEN ANYTIME TD
This is a prime Josh Allen spot. It's a home playoff game. Allen is a candidate for the league MVP. He rises up in these big games. Now, there are a number of ways to attack this game, but I really like Allen for an Anytime TD. He has 12 rushing TDs this season and 65 in his career. Allen has at least one rushing TD in 6 of the last 8 games for Buffalo.
Denver plays a lot of man coverage in the secondary. Doing so leaves teams susceptible to QB runs as well as QB scrambles on drop-back pass attempts. Denver's red zone defense has also been a let down over the past three games. The Broncos have allowed TDs on 64 percent of opponent trips to the red zone.
en Buffalo gets close, you can bet that Allen is going to score one way or another. Check out Allen's passing TDs prop too. It's at 1.5 with -105 odds at Draftkings. For me, I still like Allen for an Anytime Touchdown.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
WASHINGTON @ MICHIGAN (MICH -14.5, 154)
MICHIGAN TEAM TOTAL OVER 82.5 POINTS
This is another disaster spot for Washington. The Huskies just got steamrolled by Michigan State on Thursday night. Washington lost 88-54. Michigan is built a lot like Michigan State. Both teams are elite 2PT teams on both ends of the floor.
The Wolverines are actually No. 1 in the nation in 2PT FG percentage shooting 63 percent from inside the arc. What that does is lead to a lot of points. Michigan averages 84.7 PPG which ranks No. 19 in the country. Michigan has scored 85 or more in seven straight games. I would lean on the Wolverines to cover here as well. Michigan is 4-0 ATS in its last four games and two of those were against double-digit numbers.
Washington, as mentioned, gave up 88 to Michigan State. They also allowed 81 to Illinois last Sunday. The Huskies are now 1-4 in the Big Ten. They have given up 81 or more in three of their five conference games.
