NFL

Sadly we’ve made it to the end of the regular season. On the other hand, we’re one week away from better matchups and better games. Not sure how many folks are tuning into the Jets-Pats in Foxbourgh or Broncos-Raiders in Vegas. Wondering if Russell Wilson will trot out to midfield for the coin flip again this week. That’s much watch TV right there!

Game of the week is easily the Sunday Night showdown with the Buffalo “Don’t write us off now” Bills visiting the Miami “We can’t beat good teams” Dolphins. Depending how things shake out on Sunday, the Bills can either win the division and earn the number two seed in the AFC or miss the playoffs all together. Wild spread on the potential outcomes for the Bills! Good luck Bills Mafia!

As for us, we’re looking for another winning week to secure an overall winning regular season record against the spread.

As always, the picks this week are in bold below.

• PIT@BAL+3.0
• HOU@IND+1.0
• ATL@NO-3.0
• CLE@CIN-7.5

Week 17 Record: 6-10

Season Record: 114-116-11

Games are coming fast and furious at the end of the season. Hard to keep up, but man oh man, do we not love all Saturday night football!

Will be interesting to see how the Broncos respond to all the drama surrounding the Russell Wilson benching. Match up of the week is easily the Ravens-Dolphins tilt that will go a long way to deciding which team will land the one seed in the AFC. Also intrigued by the Steelers-Seahawks matchup in Seattle. Both teams are still in the hunt for the last playoff spot in their respective conferences, so desperation football should be on full display.

As always, this week’s picks are in bold below. Happy New Year and happy betting slips!

• CLE@NYJ+6.5
• DET@DAL-4.5
• ARZ@PHI-12.5
• ATL@CHI-2.5

• CIN@KC-6.5
• LAC@DEN-3.5
• GB@MIN-1.0

Week 16 Record: 9-6-1

Season Record: 108-106-11

It was an exciting finish to Week 15 in Seattle, with the Seahawks taking down the Eagles thanks to a 92 yard Drew Lock clinic of a drive in the final minutes of the game. Didn’t think I,d be writing that anytime soon! We missed listing the game in our weekly picks, but just for the record we had the Seahawks plus the points.

While some leagues take a pause over the holidays (I’m looking with a raised brow at you Mr. Bettman), the NFL is set to own the holiday season. Is that you Roger Clause? We have a full slate of games on Christmas Eve, and then a full day of games again on Christmas.

Best game of the week, by far, will be the last one – Ravens visiting the 49ers. A little surprised Purdy and Co are almost touchdown favourite, but I guess when you’re blowing the doors of teams week in and week out, Vegas gonna keep riding that money train.

As always, picks are in bold below. Happy Holidays and long live the road dog!

• NO@LAR-4.5
• CIN@PIT+3.0
• BUF@LAC+12.5
