NFL Football Picks

Expect a maximum effort from the San Francisco 49ers this week as they’re fighting for a number one seed in the upcoming playoffs. But can they cover a massive two touchdown point spread? Get Loot’s AZ/SF pick here!

How will the Cincinnati Bengals respond to last week’s unfortunate situation in which their game was canceled due to the serious injury to Damar Hamlin? Oddsmakers have made Cinci a -7 favorite over the Ravens. Get Jay’s Week 18 Bal/Cin free pick here!

The Redskins had a heck of a win last week in Caroilna! Derrius Guice gave Washington fans a glimpse of what he can do when he’s healthy. Their Week 14 matchup vs. the Packers won’t be as fortunate. Aaron Rodgers is known as “bum beater” in the football betting industry. In short, this means that he has a tendency to destroy poor teams. The GB run opens the Rodgers passing game. The Redskins are 27th vs. the run and have a QB in Haskins that takes too long to make decisions. You won’t hear this often, but this double digit favorite is actually a value bet!

Did the Bills really go into Dallas and destroy the Cowboys last week? This has to lead one to believe this team is for real, as that was no easy feat. The Ravens barely got by the Niners and one has to wonder if they peaked too early. The Bills are a live dog Sunday and Keith is going as far as calling them the underdog of the week bet!

The Patriots look human! They pretty much got destroyed last week by the Titans. The final score wasn’t even close to indicative as the first 50 minutes of the game. Is Tom Brady turning grandpa right in front of our eyes? Is it possible that they lose two in a row and on their own turf? Hell yes!

The 49ers look to get back on track after a close road loss to the Ravens when they head to New Orleans to take on the Saints. The Saints hit the board as a -3 point favorite but betting action has driven the line down to -2.5 at some betting shops. Read on to get Horne’s opinion on where your money should land.

The Raiders have shown tenacity despite getting their teeth kicked in the past couple weeks. Now a Tennessee Titans team who is playing really well comes in with a fishly line of -2.5. This suggets the oddsmakers/bookies think the Raiders are going to win this game straight up. The general betting public can’t unload their wallets fast enough as the Raiders are seeing 65% of the action at the windows. Meanwhile, sharps/wiseguys are smiling, waiting for the number to be bet up to 3 so they can hammer it. Don’t fall into this nasty trap game.

Philip Rivers looks like a guy with two weiners, with one of them being attached to his right shoulder. Age is taking it’s toll on the signal caller but it’s not likely to matter in this game as the Jags have one of the worst run defense’s in the NFL and Anthony Lynn and crew are sure to take note. Expect Melvin Gordon to see 20+ carries and Austin Ekeler to also get some good run in a very winnable game for the Bolts.

Many industry insiders refer to touts as handicappers that flip coins to determine winners. This is true in many cases as many of these clowns don’t watch the games and can’t tell their ass from a hole in the wall. With the Panthers/Falcons being so bi-polar this year, even astute NFL handicappers may have to flip a coin to determine the winner on this one because both of these teams are unpredictable as hell!

All we heard last week was how much trouble the Broncos were in with Drew Lock at the helm. It’s always a good thing to watch some video of a player prior to trusting TV pundits. Once the smoke cleared, the kid was actually somewhat impressive hitting Courtland Sutton for some very sleek completions. Will this kid maintain the same composure in his first NFL road game? Loot gives his pick to cover this Week 14 point spread (+9.5).
