There are a few reasons you may want to look at the over here, which is the lowest total of the weekend. 

-The over is 9-2 in the Packers last 11 January games, has hit 7 times in a row. They have gone over in 5 straight playoff games

-Playoff games at Lambeau average 50 PPG since 2004. 

-The over is also 7-1 in Rams last 8 as an underdog.

And if you're looking for a side, here's one stat to keep in mind.

There are a ton of trends that support the Ravens here. They thrive as both underdogs and the road team. 

-The Ravens are 10-1 ATS in their last 11 as an underdog 

-Jon Harbaugh is 10-3 ATS on the road in his playoff career, covering 7 straight

-Harbaugh is 8-3 ATS as an underdog in the playoffs

#1 seeds typically struggle in the Divisional Round of the playoffs, playing their first game off of a bye. These stats can apply to the Packers as well obviously. 

-Since 2004, Divisional Round underdogs are 22-11-1 ATS against #1 seeds

-#1 seeds are just 9-17-2 ATS in the NFL's divisional round since 2007.

-Chiefs are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 as more than a touchdown favorite

T 51.5

There's a saying out there that says, "It's hard to beat a team 3 times." But that actually isn't true when you look at the history. 

-When a team faces a team in the playoffs that it beat twice in the regular season. In the last 13 instances, they are 10-3 SU, 8-5 ATS, 6-0 ATS if they are 5 point favorites or less

-The under is 4-0 in Saints last 4 playoff home games

-The under is 4-0 in Saints last 4 playoff games overall
