NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take New England. According to latest NFL trends, New England is 4-0-1 ATS L5 as a dog. Last year: NEW ENGLAND (-7) over Baltimore, 23-10 (playoffs). The Patriots were shocked by Arizona last week at home, 20-18 as Stephen Gostkowski missed a 42-yard field goal with seconds left. New England should bounce back against a Baltimore team that allowed nearly 500 yards last week at Philadelphia. The Pats’ defense wasn’t the issue as they allowed just 140 yards rushing and 245 overall against the Cardinals. LB Jerrod Mayo and DE Chandler Jones should have big games against an average offensive line. The Pats should be able to pass at ease against a very suspect Ravens’ pass defense, which allowed Philadelphia TE Brent Celek to catch 8 passes for 157 yards last week.
