NFL Football Picks

The New Orleans Saints vs. Houston Texans Week 6 point spread of Saints -1 is surely one of the most confusing point spreads of the weekend. Both teams have looked good at times, and played very poorly as well. Get Jay’s opinion on the game and his NO/Hou free pick before placing your wager!

The Atlanta Falcons squeezed out a last second win last week against the upstart Houston Texans. The Washington Commanders got spanked by the Bears on TNF. What we one thought was an up-and-coming Commanders team, might be a dud. Atlanta has some nice tools in the shed, but this 2.5 spread suggests the bookies either don’t have an idea who will win, or they like Washington to rebound. What says Loot?

The NFL’s regular season closes out with a one-sided matchup between the Miami Dolphins and New England Patriots where the Pats need a win to secure a first round bye in the NFL playoffs. The Patriots have absolutely dominated the Phins at Gillette Stadium, winning the last 10 games by an average of 19+ points. This week’s spread is -15.5 and we’re actually considering laying it!

The Week 16 matchup between the Packers and Vikings should be one heck of a battle, as both are trying to win the division. Green Bay has already clinched a playoff birth, while Minnesota has not. Expect a full effort from both squads Sunday!

Week 16 Sunday Night Football features one of the more bizarre point spreads we’ve seen in the 2019 NFL season as the Chiefs visit Soldier Field as a short -5 favorite. Oddsmakers are expecting a close game!

Week 16 presents us with an excellent Cowboys vs. Eagles matchup where both teams are 7-7 with the Eagles in the hunt for a playoff berth. Philly’s secondary is very vulnerable but their run defense is above average, making this a very interesting contest where Dak Prescott has struggled on the road at times and the team has leaned on Ezekiel Elliott as of late.

Two teams who have been statistically eliminated and that are out of the playoff picture go at it in Week 16 in Indianapolis. At this point, the Carolina Panthers seem to be playing for Christian McCaffrey to become the NFL’s first 1000 yard rusher and 1000 yard receiver. Their defense has stunk profusely and they can’t stop the run. The Colts, who are led by Frank Reich, stink but not quitters. They’ll be using the last two contests to determine who’ll be on next year’s roster.

Am I the only one who hates betting on these football teams? The best way to handicap this Week 16 matchup is to crap out two turds, write each team’s name on one, throw it at the wall and see which makes the bigger splatter! Helter Skelter/Jeckyll and Hyde are two things that come to mind Sunday when these teams meet. NOBODY can feel good about putting their hard earned money on this one!

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is projected to “have himself a day” Sunday at Qwest Field as the Arizona Cardinals secondary is a cross between a wet paper bag and a bug splattering on a windshield. I’d be more than surprised if one of the Hawks wide receivers AND the tight end position don’t go over 100 yards with at least a touchdown from each position.

Generally speaking, the thought of laying almost a touchdown with a 5-win team coming off a 3 point showing seems like financial suicide. The Matt Patricia and the Lions are that bad though!
