🔮 Early Patriots vs. Broncos prediction

🪖 Patriots -4.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Patriots' defense is markedly better than their 23rd-ranked DVOA suggests. It hasn't allowed more than 16 points in the previous four games, including conceding 19 in two playoff games.The weather, of course, contributed to their Divisional Round success. Still, it's an underrated unit that will be licking its lips at the prospect of facing Stidham, who hasn't started a game in over two years and has never been under center during the playoffs.

🔮 Early Rams vs. Seahawks prediction

🐏 Rams +2.5 (-110) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

I'm backing presumed regular-season MVP Stafford to make the difference in Seattle. The Rams are more battle-tested in the playoffs, which should benefit them in what should be a tight, back-and-forth affair.
