We’re on to the NFL playoffs, with the Super Wild Card weekend kicking off on Saturday with three games. That means it’s time once again for our weekly look at the point spreads in order to help you win some money.

In the regular season, Steven Ruiz went 113-109-7 overall and Charles Curtis went 111-124-7 overall. And this week, we’re bringing in our Charles McDonald to make picks as well!

We now go to each of them for comments.

Charles C: Rough season, but I get a second chance in the postseason. And now, a new challenge: facing not one but two incredibly knowledgeable NFL experts.

Steven: One Charl (?) wasn’t enough to take me down, so they had to bring in another.

Charles M: I may be new here, but I’m bringing the pain with these 100% correct picks. I’m also gunning to be only Charles known at For The Win after getting every playoff pick correct.

Colts at Bills (-6.5)

Charles C: Bills

In looking back over the Colts’ schedule this year, I noticed that there were A LOT of wins over bad teams. The losses came against the Titans, Steelers, Ravens, Browns and Jags (in Week 1, ugh!). Conclusion: this is not exactly the most threatening of teams. The Bills take care of business on both sides of the ball and win by at least a touchdown.

Steven: Bills

The more I think about this game, the more I believe the Colts have a legitimate chance to cover. But the Bills offense is a buzzsaw right now and I’m not sure the Indy defense is capable of slowing it down. The Colts’ only hope is Jonathan Taylor running wild against a suspect run defense and Philip Rivers putting together a flawless performance. It’s possible … but not likely.

Charles M: Colts

I think the Bills end up winning this game, but the Colts can make this a game. If Philip Rivers is on his “A” game, he should be able to find some success against the Bills defense. It just won’t be enough to actually get the Colts over the hump and win this game.

Rams at Seahawks (-3.5)

It might be hard for Sean McVay to hold Jared Goff’s hand if he has a hurt thumb. (Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports)

Charles C: Rams

John Wolford? Jared Goff? I think it’s probably the former, but there are other factors: two teams meeting for a third time this season, the Seahawks’ inconsistent offense and an elite Rams defense that will at least keep this game close. It’s too much to back the favorites.

Steven: Rams

I’d like to know more about Jared Goff’s thumb injury before making this pick official but I guess I don’t have that luxury. If he is fully healthy, this is an easy pick for me. Sean McVay has had Pete Carroll’s number over the past few years, and the coaching advantage is what makes the difference for me.

Charles M: Seahawks

When the matchups are this tight, just take the better quarterback. Russell Wilson is better than Jared Goff and John Wolford combined. The Rams pass defense will make it difficult for Wilson and his receivers, but it’s hard to pick against Wilson in this scenario.

Buccaneers at Washington (+8)

Charles C: Buccaneers

I had a lot more trouble with this one than I thought. Washington’s pass rush is a problem for sure. But I just don’t see WFT’s offense getting too much off the ground. Maybe it’s a closer game at halftime, but a Bucs offense that has shown some real life in recent weeks could take off in the second half.

Steven: Buccaneers

Washington’s biggest advantage in this game — that pass rush — will be somewhat mitigated by Tom Brady’s ability to get the ball out in a hurry. And even the Bucs offense does struggle against a good WFT defense, Alex Smith isn’t putting up enough points to keep this one close.

Charles M: Buccaneers

There’s just no way Washington’s offense can generate the points needed to keep up in this game. Tampa Bay’s defense hasn’t been as strong as the early portion of the season, but Washington has one of the worst offenses in the league this year. They averaged just 20.9 points per game, good for 25th in the NFL.

Ravens at Titans (+3.5)

If the Ravens are going to avoid another one-and-done in the playoffs, they’ll have to stop Derrick Henry this time around. (Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports)

Charles C: Titans

I do think this will be the best game of the weekend. But I’m also pretty sure the Ravens are winning this one, revenge for a Week 11 loss to Tennessee in overtime. By how much? That’s where that half-point has me hamstrung. So I’ll take the points and figure this one stays within a field goal.

Steven: Ravens

All those little breaks the Titans caught in last year’s playoff upset aren’t likely to happen again, and this Baltimore defense is better suited to stop Derrick Henry this time around. The Ravens are the better team and that spread is just small enough for me to take them.

Charles M: Ravens

This is the moment. Lamar Jackson will finally get the first playoff win of his career. Jackson has been red hot lately, playing like an MVP talent over the past few games for the Ravens. I think that’ll be enough to get the Ravens over the Titans, whose defense has been pretty bad all season long.

Bears at Saints (-10)

Is Vegas trolling all of us by making the spread the same number that Mitch Trubisky wears? (Brace Hemmelgarn-USA TODAY Sports)

Charles C: Saints

Nope. No. NO. I’m not betting on Mitchell Trubisky in a road playoff game to cover against that Saints defense. Next.

Steven: Bears

Uggggghhhh.

I’m betting on Mitch Trubisky. The Bears defense is good enough to keep this within 10 points. Let’s just move on. This is a shameful moment for me.

Charles M: Saints

This one doesn’t need any hard thinking. Saints.

Browns at Steelers (-6)

Charles C: Steelers

The week off will perhaps help Pittsburgh distance itself from the late-season struggles. On the other side, obviously, I have to mention that Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski will miss the game due to COVID-19, but even if he was on the sideline, I’m not sure what happens when the Browns need to go into catch-up mode and Baker Mayfield has to throw against the third-best pass D in the league. I’ll back the Steelers.

Steven: Steelers

Even if EVERYTHING was going right for the Browns, I’d be tempted to lay those points. But they aren’t, so laying those six points is a lot easier. Pittsburgh is getting its best player (T.J. Watt) back this week and will actually put in some effort game-planning — unlike last week. I would also point out that Ben Roethlisberger will be back, but I’m not sure he’ll be much of an upgrade over what Mason Rudolph gave Pittsburgh last week.

Charles M: Browns

I think the Browns can keep it close and cover the spread even without Joel Bitonio and Kevin Stefanski. Winning will be difficult, but this is more about what Ben Roethlisberger is at this point in his career, which is just ok at best. The Steelers probably shouldn’t be touchdown favorites over any playoff teams right now, except maybe Chicago.

QB Mason Rudolph will make the start against the Browns, who need to win to get into the playoffs. S Terrell Edmunds, DE Cam Heyward, C Maurkice Pouncey, FB Derek Watt and LB T.J. Watt will also sit.The Browns were missing WRs Jarvis Landry, Rashard Higgins, Donovan Peoples-Jones and KhaDarel Hodge, their top four receivers, last weekend in a loss to the New York Jets. They have been removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and will be ready for Sunday’s game.Browns TE Harrison Bryant, LB Malcolm Smith and CB Denzel Ward Jr. each tested positive for COVID-19 earlier in the weekand landed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. Head coach Kevin Stefanski confirmed in the latest round of testing the team had no new positive cases among players. S Karl Joseph was activated from the list.The Steelers are also dealing with players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, as TE Eric Ebron landed on the list Saturday, joining CB Joe Haden and LB Cassius Marsh.Cleveland has dropped two of its past three games, while also going just 1-2 ATS.

Steelers at Browns: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Browns 27, Steelers 13

Money line (?)

The Browns (-450) are overwhelming favorites against a Steelers side which will be a shell of itself with plenty of players rested, and others out due to COVID protocols. There is no excuse for the Browns not to get the win against this subpar group of reserves from Pittsburgh, but they’re still the Browns. Nothing is ever easy.

AVOID.

Against the spread (?)

The BROWNS -9.5 (-110) are just 2-3 ATS as favorites of 6 or more points this season, and this is their biggest number of the season. Cleveland is expected to win and punch its ticket to the postseason, and it should be able to do it by more than two scores.

Over/Under (?)

UNDER 43.5 (-110) is the lean here, as the Pittsburgh offense will not be terribly deep, and Cleveland’s strength is in the run game. Under bettors love running teams, because they keep the clock moving.
