NFL Playoffs: Bad Beats
January 14, 2009
The hardest part of NFL betting is dealing with losses, especially when they are right side losers. That was the case on Saturday with my NFL picks, as I ended the day with a 1-2 outcome, despite having the right plays on both games. Let’s take a look at how my Saturday NFL selections turned out. My first selection of the day was the Tennessee Titans at -3. My basic thinking was that Baltimore looked much better than they really are the previous week against an over-rated Miami Dolphin team....
Jack’s Free NFL Picks & Predictions: Playoffs- Round One
December 31, 2008
It’s Wild Card Weekend in the NFL as the playoffs get underway this Saturday. The first game Saturday has the Arizona Cardinals hosting the Atlanta Falcons as 2 point underdogs. Somehow every road team this week is favored, but in this game I’m leaning toward the Cardinals. Their defense has been pretty awful down the stretch, but I do believe they have plenty of firepower with Kurt Warner throwing to Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin. Tim Hightower at running back has also been...
Sunday Night NFL Pick: Denver Broncos at San Diego Chargers
December 28, 2008
The NFL game that I want to watch the most this week is the AFC West championship game between Denver and San Diego. Ed Hochuli may once again be able to show his face in the city of San Diego if the Chargers pull out the win. He made the worst mistake of all officials this season back in the earlier match-up between these two teams which cost San Diego the game. I have heard several different opinions on this game, as oddsmakers put out an interesting line of San Diego -9. Before the line...
Jack’s Free NFL Picks & Predictions: Week 17
December 24, 2008
The Bucs need a win and a Dallas loss this week to be in the playoffs. I think they beat the Raiders in Tampa, but the 12.5 spread seems a little high for a team that has not been very productive on offense lately. Bucs 17, Raiders 7. Detroit tries to avoid becoming the first 0-16 team in NFL history at the Packers this week. The Packers are 9.5 point favorites and I think they’ll easily defeat the Lions, 28-16. The Cowboys are in a tough spot. They need to win at Philly this week in...
Week 16 NFL Picks & Predictions
December 17, 2008
Thursday night Indianapolis should march to their 8th straight win this week as the visit the Jacksonville Jags. The Colts still aren’t guaranteed a spot in the playoffs, the Jags are guaranteed to be staying home this post-season. Colts win and cover 28-17. Saturday the Ravens visit the Cowboys. It’s the last game EVER for the Cowboys in Texas Stadium, plus they are fighting hard for a playoff spot. The way they played on offense and defense last week, I like the Cowboys to win...
Buffalo Bills at New York Jets- NFL Free Pick
December 12, 2008
Conditions are likely to be cold and snowy for this one. With that being said, look for both teams to run the ball early and often, as Buffalo does that more than enough without snow. Both teams enter this game coming off losses in which they really struggles to move the football. Expect a very sloppy and close game in this one. The Over/Under for the Jets/Bills is set at 41 points on Sunday. The Bills have scored just three points in each of their last two games. Trent Edwards is out due to injury,...
Week 15 NFL Football Picks & Predictions
December 10, 2008
The Saints and the Bears both need wins pretty badly this Thursday, but neither team has a ton of momentum at the moment. The Saints are just 1-5 on the road this year, while the Bears stand at 4-2 at home on the season. I’ll take the Bears -3 with a final of 23-14. With the Packers and the Jags meeting this Sunday, I’ll pick the Pack to get back on track on the road this week 31-16. The Lions are bad. 0-16 bad. They are getting 17 points at Indy this week, but I’m still...
NFL Football Picks & Predictions for Week 14
December 3, 2008
Starting off this week early, in Thursday night NFL game I’m taking the Oakland Raiders +9.5 against San Diego. The Raiders have been awful, this is true, but the Chargers aren’t winning me over with their 4-8 record either. There’s definitely something missing in San Diego, but they can’t seem to figure out what it is. Chargers still win 17-10, but the Raiders cover the spread. Time for the Colts to spread their wings and fly a little bit this week. They went without...
NFL Picks – Week 12
November 19, 2008
There’s really no way I can bring myself to bet on the Bengals this year, even as 10.5 point dogs, so the play on Thursday night has to be the Steelers by two touchdowns, 28-14. The Giants are giving 3 at Arizona. Road dogs can be killers in the NFL, but the Giants are too good right now. New York 31, Arizona 20. I faded the Titans last week thinking their run had to eventually come to an end. Now, I’m not so sure. They are 5 point favorites at home against the Jets. Feels like...
Week 11 NFL Picks
November 12, 2008
This week I’ll take a look at my favorite ten NFL bets of week 11. The Pats against the Jets should be an interesting rematch this week. I’ve got the Titans losing their undefeated status, which I’m sure won’t be anyone’s favorite pick. The Steelers really need a win this week against San Diego, who could use some winning of their own. The Vikings at Tampa Bay could end up looking more like a baseball score than a football one with two great defenses on the...
NFL Betting Picks
July 24, 2008
When you talk about finding a sports handicapping service most people want to know how high of a rate their NFL picks hit at. This is because there are more people betting on NFL games than on any other sporting event. Each weekend in the fall there is a lot of money won, but there is a lot of money lost by people who head into the weekend with a minimal amount of knowledge. These individuals think that they can just look at the spreads, take what they know already about the teams, and make...
2008 NFC Championship Game Picks, Predictions, and Odds
January 19, 2008
We like New York +7 The New York Giants head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game in a battle of two of the NFL’s most storied teams. Oddsmakers have the Packers listed as touchdown favorites at home this week, but don’t count the Giants out. Last week’s win over Dallas should have taught you that already. The Packers are certainly happy about playing this one at home where they are 8-1 straight up and 7-1-1 ATS this season. And the Giants certainly...
2008 AFC Championship Game Picks, Predictions, and Odds
January 19, 2008
Our Pick: San Diego +14 The New England Patriots are favored by more than two touchdowns in this Sunday’s AFC Championship Game. If the Chargers are able to pull off the upset against the 17-0 Patriots, it will be considered one of the biggest upsets in NFL history. The Patriots are already responsible for one of the biggest upsets the NFL has ever seen when it knocked off the high powered St. Louis Rams as two-touchdown underdogs in 2002. Will New England get a taste of what it feels like...
2008 NFL Playoff Picks Round 2
January 9, 2008
Seattle +9 I’m going with the Seahawks in this one. Holmgren and Hasselbeck will be looking for revenge, and they have experience on their side. Green Bay is a fairly young team hasn’t battled it out in the do-or-die atmosphere that is the playoffs. Seattle’s defense has been tough all year long, and they should cause some problems for the Green Bay offense. I don’t see Seattle having much trouble passing the ball now that all four of their top receivers are healthy (Branch,...
