NFL against the spread picks: Four home dogs for wild-card weekend (Shutdown Corner)

You know it's an unusual wild-card weekend when all four road teams are favored.

The Las Vegas Sun said this would be the first time ever that all four road teams are favored in the opening weekend of the NFL playoffs (the Green Bay Packers-Washington Redskins line has been bouncing back and forth, with each team being favored at times this week, so we'll see if Green Bay ultimately ends up as the favorite).

Maybe this shouldn't be a big surprise. Home teams, not counting three London games, were 136-117 (53.8 percent) this season. Against the spread, home teams were just 112-133-8 against the spread this season according to TeamRankings.
