NFL Football Picks

Oddsmakers have made the Cincinnati Bengals a -6.5 favorite in their Sunday AFC wildcard game with the Cincinnati Bengals. If you’ve been around the football betting industry long enough, a point spread of 6.5 raises red flags. Get Loot’s Bal/Cin pick here!

Wildcard Weekend’s most confusing point spread comes via the New York Giants vs. Minnesota Vikings game, where the bookies have Minny only favored by a field goal. Get Loot’s NYG/Min free pick here!

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!

If you’re confident of who will win or cover this game, we’d like to hire you to be a Predictem handicapper! We put out articles with opinions each week of the NFL season to help give you a better idea of who to bet on. Every now and then, we see a game like this that is truly unpredictable. Loot is giving his opinion here, but you’re on your own on this Week 16 turdfest!

1-13 meets 3-11! Woohoo! Luckily for us, the worst football game is better than the best day at work, so we’ll take it! The public are backing the Phins heavily here as many anticipate Bengal tank mode, but Mr. Franks isn’t seeing it that way!

Everybody is lovey-dovey with the Saints after Drew Brees captured the all time touchdown record. Keep in mind this is the same team that lost at home to the 49ers a couple weeks ago. The Tennessee Titans under head coach Mike Vrabel are the real deal, as evidenced by their +2.5 short underdog point spread. With that being said, Jay’s prediction won’t be either team as he likes the total.

Double digit divisional underdogs are not something to be taken lightly. Then again, Freddie Kitchens might be the worst coach of all time. With it being the end of the season and the Ravens potentially resting players, this game screams trap and the potential for a backdoor cover.

How’bout those Dirty Birds going into San Fran last week and doing the unthinkable? Conversely, many thought the Jacksonville Jaguars were left for dead after not being abe to stop ANYBODY, yet they went into Oakland and beat the heavily favored Raiders. We predict the Jags go back into garbage mode and the Falcons lay a whoopin’ here.
