NFL Football Picks

The Chicago Bears looked like absolute crap on national TV last week. The bookies knew the public would be down on them huge, so they’re giving them +8.5 in Week 9 against the New Orleans Saints, which is way too many! Don’t get rooked into this sucker bet! Read Darin’s Chi/NO preview and see how he’s betting the game here!

Two NFL teams who thought they had their franchise quarterbacks will both be going to their second string in Week 9 when the Minnesota Vikings starter Jaren Hall after an injury to Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons play Taylor Heinicke while Desmond Ridder takes a seat. The Bookies don’t really have a clue which way this game goes and have made the Dirty Birds -5 favorites. Get Jay’s Min/Atl free pick here!

The time to bet on a team is when you’ve bet them all season and they’ve put you in the poor house and you’re thinking about stopping betting on them! As crazy as this sounds, it’s the truth. I’ve been on the Redskins a TON and they’ve shoved it up my gazoo almost every time. Point spreads are based on public perception and EVERYBODY hates the Skins at this point in the season. They actually match up pretty well with a fading Detroit team suffering multiple injuries to skill position players.

If you’ve watched Cleveland Browns games this season, the thought of laying double digit points with a Freddie Kitchens led team is laughable. This coach makes bad decisions time after time. I have also watched all the Miami Dolphins games this season and as crazy as it sounds, they’ve gotten better each game. Check out Loot’s take on this Week 12 barn-burner!

Anybody notice how bad the Cowboys defense was last week vs. a bad Detroit team with a journeyman QB at the helm? Here’s how this one plays out… Bill Belichick always takes the opponents best player away (Elliott in this case). This forces Dak Prescott to throw into what I believe is the best secondary in the NFL. BAD MATCHUP! See Mike’s full take on this Week 12 Best Bet!

At first glance, the Jags vs. Titans game appears to be Week 12’s toughest bet to crack. The closer you look, the more the Titans look like a solid bet. Jacksonvile struggles to stop the run, they’re in a revenge spot, they’ve got ownage at home vs. Jax and Mike Vrabel is an up and coming coach. Jacksonville has Foles back, but he’s rusty and that’s no good because timing is important. Derrick Henry is primed for a big day!

Can anybody stop Lamar Jackson? The one man wrecking ball has led the Ravens to six straight wins with four covers during that span. Home dogs in the NFL are usually good bets but not so much in Week 12!

Prior to receiving the gift of playing the creampuff Redskins and Giants, the Jets had averaged around 11 points per game. Things get a bit tougher for them this week as the Raiders come to town. Oakland is playing good football and are a nice value as a -3 short favorite.

NFL bettors have it fresh in their mind that the Bears got smashed by the Rams on national tv and are a “bad” team. While Matt Nagy’s team has indeed looked sub-par, this is a really bad matchup for the NYG. The public will be scrathing their heads and looking at empty wallets after this one! Bet the Bears with confidence!

The Week 12 NFL game between the Broncos/Bills be one costly for many as 69% of the public are wagering on Buffalo, which is the wrong side. Anybody notice that the Denver gave the Vikings a hell of a game? That’s becuase they’re getting better. Meanwhile, Buffalo beat a hapless Miami team through the air, a feat they won’t be able to accomplish vs. a better than average Broncos secondary. Denver is our underdog bet of the week!
