Las Vegas - Looking to stay perfect after last week's 2-0 sweep, we'll start the party in Baltimore. And gonna make the Ravens part of a delicious three team 10-point teaser. Not thrilled about laying nine points in this spot against the Texans and C.J. Stroud. So, we grab Baltimore and after adjusting the line 10 points in our favor, we have the Ravens at +1. And if you remember, the Ravens SMOKED the Texans in the opening week, 25-9. Where? In Baltimore. Then we move to Sunday and take the Lions from -6 to +4 points against Tampa Bay. Detroit had NO trouble with the Bucs in week six, beating 'em 20-6, IN Tampa. Close up shop with the late game and will bump the Chiefs up from +2.5 to +12.5 points over the Bills. They lost to Buffalo 20-17 back in December, and we're expecting another tight fit. Why? With the exception of Super Bowl LV when the Chiefs lost to Tampa 31-9, Kaycee has not lost a playoff game by more than six points in the last EIGHTEEN games under Andy Reid.

And for those that didn't click on America's Line yesterday, here's our late game pick. Gotta ride with the Packers +9.5 points over the 49ers. Totally understand that San Francisco is well balanced, loaded with weapons and had a week off to heal. But the way that Jordan Love and the Packers are rolling, gotta take a taste of the underdog. Love was MAGNIFICENT last week against a Dallas defense that was ranked #5 in the NFL. He was 16 of 21 for 272 yards with three TDs and ZERO INTs. His QB rating was 157.2 and just in case you're wondering, 158.3 is perfect. And if you look back at Love's last five games, his numbers are STAGGERING. How about 113 of 153 (74%) for 1,347 yards, with 12 TDs and ZERO INTs. Green Bay coach Matt Lafleur is a brilliant offensive mind, and should be able to match brain power with San Francisco's defensive coordinator, Steve Wilks. Of course, if you can, buy the hook from +9.5 to +10 and get ready to make a deposit in the bank baabbbeee!
