Philadelphia @ New Orleans (-8) 51 O/U

     This game has all the makings of a trap game for the Saints. They're coming off a bye, and resting their star players in week 17.  They have the easiest matchup of the weekend according to Vegas and are the Super Bowl favorites.  On the other side the Eagles have all of the momentum coming off a double doink win in Chicago with their unsung hero Nick Foles leading the charge.  If I were a betting man, wait I am. Well if I had the dough to lay down on this game, give me the Eagles to win outright at +320 on FD Sportsbook. Sports betting is coming soon everywhere and we can't wait to get into that analysis. Until then we are focusing on building our daily fantasy lineups, so here it goes.

Los Angeles Chargers @ New England Patriots (-4) 47 O/U

     The Patriots have actually looked human this year and somewhat beatable but only giving 4 points at home to the Chargers? The Chargers advanced cause they played a one dimensional team that couldn't adjust. That won't be the case when they play a Patriots team that flourishes in the playoffs, with a head coach that is the king of adjusting.

Dallas Cowboys @ Los Angeles Rams (-7.5) 49 O/U

     I feel like this game will go largely forgotten in fantasy.  There's not a lot of star names besides Ezekiel Elliott and Todd Gurley, with Gurley being banged up.  Also, with the emergence of C.J. Anderson, the Rams will look to lighten Gurley's load more than they did throughout the season.  I would be surprised if Gurley sees the 25-30 touches that he was seeing earlier in the year.  Speaking of earlier in the year, the Rams were looked at as the best team in the league and unbeatable starting 8-0.  Since then they have went 5-3, had a bye in the first round, and do not necessarily have any momentum going into this game.

Indianapolis Colts @ Kansas City Chiefs (-5) 57 O/U

     The NFL Divisional Round brings us a brand new week and a chance to rebound from last week.  Those wildcard games were not fun to watch from a fantasy perspective, but we kind of knew that going into the weekend with all of the low game totals.  This week starts out with a bang in a matchup with two offenses that can put up points quick; hence the 57 over/under!  Let's not dwell on last week and get right into analysis for this game.
