NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Denver. According to latest NFL trends, the Broncos are 4-0 against the spread in their last four games versus the AFC and 4-0 ATS in their last four games overall. They’re also 9-2 against the number in their last 11 Saturday games and 6-1 ATS in their last seven home playoff games. On the other side, the Ravens are 1-5 against the number in their last six Divisional Playoff games and 2-7 ATS in their last nine Saturday games. Joe Flacco has struggled on the road all season and the Ravens have paid the price in most cases. The inconsistent Flacco isn’t going to match Peyton Manning and the Broncos should wind up rolling in this one.
