Update: here are Colin’s Blazing Five picks for the Conference Championship games

Colin’s Blasé 4 picks last week went 1-3.  But he really only liked that Pittsburgh pick, which won.  So give him credit for the pick he actually wanted.

If you’re looking for other winners, you know who has been on fire?  Bill Simmons. Chris Berman and Supercontest leaders also have been killing it so far this year. And be sure to check out these two New Yorkers, Mike Francesa and Craig Carton both have been quietly have a great year, both picking at over 60% for the season. And don’t miss our boy Cousin Sal’s picks this week.

THE HERD’S BLAZIN’ FIVE (Blase 4) PICKS NFL 2017 NFL Playoffs Divisional Round Picks (Season Record 45-36-3):

Seattle at Atlanta (-5) – Colin loves this picks.  Don’t think about the Seattle win last week, throw that game out the window completely.  Seattle was at home playing against a depleted Detroit team that had no offense and an injured QB.  Atlanta will be able to put up points against this Seahawks team.

Pittsburgh at Kansas City (-1.5) – Colin also loves this pick.  Andy Reid is a different beast coming off a bye week.  KC plays well extremely well at home.  They also tied the league lead in turnover differential.

Green Bay (+4.5) at Dallas – Colin isn’t high on this one, but if he had to pick he would take Green Bay.  Dallas wins but won’t cover.

Houston (+16) at New England – Colin doesn’t love the pick but leans taking the points here.  Houston has a solid defense, and they have nice weapons on offense.  New England will jump out to early lead and shut it down by running the ball and grind the clock out.
