NFL Football Picks

If you watched the Carolina Panthers last week, you saw a team that looked BAD. They’re only +2.5 underdogs in Week 16 to the visiting Detroit Lions. Is this spread a gift or a sucker bet? Get Loot’s Det/Car pick here!

How much momentum did the Minnesota Vikings create for themselves with a 33-point comeback last week? One would think their confidence would be brewing! They get the New York Giants in Week 16 and oddsmakers have listed them as -3.5 favorites. Who covers? Get Loot’s NYG/Min prediction here!

When most bettors think about the 0-4 Denver Broncos they think “garbage”. Truth be told, they appear to be coming to life and are a live underdog Sunday afternoon vs. the Chargers. Furthermore, LAC always seems to play down to their competition. Despite beating the Dolphins by 20 last week, they really didn’t play all that well. Nice underdog value here!

The Browns looked good against the Ravens in Week 4 with a well deserved 40-25 victory. They’ll head across the country this week to play the surprising 49ers who have yet to taste defeat. San Francisco holds most of the statistical edges in this match-up which gives us the opinion that the linesmaker is putting too much weight on Cleveland’s win last week.

The Colts losing to the Raiders at home last week will surely be in the minds of bettors as they travel to KC to take on the Chiefs. Arrowhead is a tough venue to conquer. These variables will surely be in the mind of NFL bettors Sunday in this game that features a huge point spread of 12.

The Bills have proven that they can play defense and should give the Titans all they can handle in Week 5. Buffalo’s wildcard has been the offense that has been doing their Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde impression in the early season. That makes this game tough to play from this viewpoint and doubly tough when you factor in the availability of QB Josh Allen (concussion) and impressive rookie RB Devin Singletary (hamstring). If neither go Tennessee may be a steal at -3.

Did the Steelers defense turn the corner with their impressive play against the Bengals on Monday night? Or, did they steal a page from the Bills to disrupt the Cincinnati passing game? They’ll have to be at their best to hold off the Ravens offense that has scored 23 plus points per game. Read on to get Keith Allen’s predicted point spread winner.

The Jets come into this game rested and have a chance to have starting QB Sam Darnold return to his duties behind center. The Eagles looked OK in their 34-27 win over a battered Packers defence last Thursday. The line for this game is just shy of two touchdowns with Philly bettors being asked to -13.5. NFL prognosticator Keith Franks breaks it down and gives out his point spread play.

The New England Patriots come to FedEx Field for a Sunday matchup with the Washington Redskins in week five NFL action. The Patriots are sitting pretty at 4-0, following a struggle in Buffalo where they ground out a 16-10 win, failing to cover the spread for the second straight game. Do they get back on the winning side of the line this week?

Helter Skelter takes effect Sunday as crazy variables galore are in play here including the Raiders winning at Indy last week, Chase Daniel in for the injured Mitchell Trubisky and the game being played in London. Grab a crumpet and consider wagering on the under as games across the pond are generally lower scoring in nature.
