NFL Football Picks

As the years go by, you will likely become a more astute bettor and recognize point spreads that “just don’t seem right.” That is the case with the Philadelphia Eagles laying only -4 on the road against the New England Patriots in Week 1. Over 70% of the general betting public is betting on the Eagles. Meanwhile, the oddsmakers aren’t moving the spread an inch. This should clue you into something! Get Zman’s Phi/NE prediction here!

The Bucs, with Baker Mayfield at the helm, will look to keep pace with a Vikings offense that averaged 27 points per game last season. The oddsmaker has the host as a six-point favorite, with the total in the offering at 45.5 points. Jay has a couple of angles he is banking on with his free pick.

Despite the lack of confidence from Elway in Denver coaching, online sportsbook have made the Broncos -3. Vance Joseph is a dead man walking as the head coach. There were reports last week that John Elway was trying to get Mike Shanahan to return to coach the team and if Shanahan had been in the stadium when Joseph opted to kick a field goal from deep in Cleveland territory while down by 4 late in the 4th quarter, Elway might have made the switch on the spot.

This is Predictm’s second pick on the Raiders vs Broncos game, and this time we have a play on the total. Check out Loot Levinson’s angle on this week 16 total pick.

Loot Levinson has brings the second Predictem pick on the New Orleans Saints versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. LL is on the under of this week 16 matchup. See why.

The Chiefs have been slipping some in recent weeks, with personnel losses and setbacks on the field. The season began with nary a hiccup, as they won 9 of their first ten, covering almost every spread. They haven’t covered a spread now in any of their last five games and people are looking at them as something less than a conference contender. LL gives his prediction on Chiefs vs Seahawks.

There are few teams that could lose a Pro Bowl level running back and actually improve their offensive output but the Steelers have not only survived the Le’Veon Bell absence but found their future bellcow in the process. James Conner has rushed for 909 yards and 12 touchdowns while adding 52 receptions but he is questionable for Sunday with a high ankle sprain. Whether he goes or not, will the Steelers have the offense to stay within 5.

At this point in the season, who cares what happened in week two? At the same time, a 34-0 Rams wipeout over the Cardinals does stand out. And with the Rams looking to get the ship righted, this very well could be the ideal spot. Arizona managed just five first downs in that game and if not for some defensive playmaking, that score could have been even uglier. Do the Rams have the Cards number? Sportsbooks think so with their number at -13.5.

The Chicago Bears come into the Bay Area to take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in NFC action. Granted, only one team has a real future this season, but that doesn’t mean this won’t be a good game at Levi’s Stadium. The Bears are riding high at 10-4, coming off a 24-17 win over the Packers, which clinched them the division. Will they get up for the Niners and cover the bookmaker’s spread of -4?

The Dallas Cowboys had their 5 game winning streak snapped last week, in an embarrassing way, with a 23-0 loss on the road in Indianapolis. Before the loss, the Cowboys were among the hottest teams in the NFL and will have a chance to rebound this week in an important home stand against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at AT&T Stadium. Betting sites have the Cowboys as 7.5 favorites.
