NFL Football Picks

When we get this deep into the NFL playoffs, angles, edges and margins slim down to nothing and we’re almost left flipping a coin to pick a point spread winner. With that being said, check out Jay’s Cin/KC over/under pick. A total bet has way more value when the spread is nothing more than a coin flip!

Are the Texans really a team that can play within 5 points of Jacksonville? The Texans are riding a 3 game winning streak but it has not been exactly pretty. The Texans have clawed their way to victories in the last 3 weeks with some really close games and fortunate circumstances. In the overtime wins against Indianapolis and Dallas, the Colts had a questionable 4th down call that led to a turnover and then Dallas punted the ball away at their 40 yard line instead of going for it which received heavy criticism. Jay Horne takes a closer look at the Texans and their ability to hang with Jacksonville.

Once again, the Kansas City Chiefs will be playing in prime time on national television. This time they will be at home taking on the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chiefs enter this game at 5-1 while the Bengals are 4-2 on the season. Both teams sit in first place in their respective divisions. Most betting sites have the Chiefs an even 6 points better than the Bengals. Bob Clark analyzes the prime time match up.

Although the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have lost three straight games the Buccaneers are a three point favorites at home while the total is set at 50. Bob Clark breaks down this the betting line and the match up set to take place in Tampa Bay.

With Ryan Tannehill out for Miami, there is going to be a lot of pressure on the Dolphins run game and offensive line. Last week, the O-Line did a great job keeping the Bears defense at bay while Brock Osweiler played one of the better games he has ever played. Will B.O. stink it up in week 7 or can he keep it going and cover the +3.

The Rams needed Todd Gurley to save their offense against Denver, but that’s not likely to be the case against the 49ers and their 25th-ranked pass defense. The average sportsbook line is Rams -10, a lot of points to cover. Rick Wise looks at if the Rams have enough versus the lowly Niners.

The Titans laid their biggest egg of the season Sunday in a 21-0 shutout at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens, putting themselves in a tie with Jaguars and Texans for first place in the AFC South. Can the Titans avoid going sub .500 or at least stay within 6.5? Rick Wise breaks down Titans/Chargers and gives his NFL pick.

The majority of the betting sites have the Pats favored by a field goal. The Bears are led by second year quarterback Mitch Trubisky, who has shown flashes of brilliance this season, including a six touchdown performance against Tampa Bay two weeks ago. The former Tar Heel had a strong second half against the Dolphins as well, and will need to maintain that consistency if they hope to trade points with the Patriots. Will MT be able to match Tom Brady’s output on Sunday?

The Panthers need their running game back. Coming into the game, they led the NFL with 154 rushing yards per outing but somehow lost their way against the Skins. Cam Newton not only led the team with 43 rushing yards, he also had the most carries with 9. That’s not a good a trend. Will success on the ground translate to covering at your sportsbook? Rick Wise breaks down the match-up.
