The blood on Jared Goff's hand isn't even dry, but sports betting is a forward-looking type of hobby so let's wait a minute to digest the New England Patriots winning Super Bowl 53 and look ahead to the Super Bowl 54 futures. Los Angeles Rams +750 to win Super Bowl 54 No touchdowns in Super Bowl LIII? Apparently...no problem? Yes, they just lost the Super Bowl three hours ago, but that hasn't faded their future value in the eyes' of [...]
Over the past few seasons, a very strange debate has broken out. Do NFL running backs matter in the grand scheme of the game? With Super Bowl LIII barreling down our throats on Sunday, February 3rd, it's a discussion worth having especially when you consider how much one team is paying for the services of their running game compared to their opponent. Yes, of course we're talking Todd Gurley here. Before we broach his impact on this subject, we should [...]
The NFL has made it a mission to turn the 2019 Pro Bowl betting matchup into something more than just a glorified, meaningless, celebration. They’ve sort of succeeded? The last two Pro Bowls have been dink and dunk contests both won by the AFC, 20-13 in 2016 and 24-23 in 2017, and each has turned the clock back on the idea that the OVER in the Pro Bowl is guaranteed money like it used to be. You want to know [...]
One of the best rivalries in the NFL takes place on Sunday, Dec. 30 when the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings throw down at U.S. Bank Stadium in what could be an important game for both teams. It's earned our place as the Week 17 Game of the Week since it could have a serious ripple effect. This season, the Chicago Bears proved the experts wrong by beating the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota Vikings for the NFC North Division title. [...]
The push for the playoffs continues in Detroit, where the Vikings (7-6-1) are currently holding the second wild card in the NFC with two games remaining. The Lions (5-9) are eliminated from playoff contention, and Detroit’s offense has sputtered for the past two months, scoring an average of just 15.8 points per game over their last eight contests with a high of 22 in a 34-22 loss at Chicago Nov. 11. Can Detroit rise up in a division duel and [...]
Nick Foles took Carson Wentz’s place under center for the Philadelphia Eagles and promptly led the defending champs to a big upset win over the Los Angeles Rams in what would be a shocker if we hadn't also seen this same backup quarterback become a Super Bowl MVP. Foles must continue his late season heroics when the Eagles host AFC South winner Houston on Sunday. If the season ended today, the Texans would be the second seed in the AFC, [...]
Every matchup I'm about to break down for my NFL Week 15 free picks means something. Soon, front offices around the league will start looking at players at key positions and coaching staffs that underperformed. If you’re one of those players or coaches, you’ve got a ton to play for in the final 3 weeks even if there’s no chance of a postseason berth. There are also plenty of playoff implication games in Week 15. Minnesota must beat the Miami [...]

A challenging weekend of games in the NFL follows a thriller between the Chargers and Chiefs on Thursday night. Here is my Week 15 NFL 4-Pack Indianapolis Colts (-3) vs Dallas Cowboys The first-place Cowboys head north to Lucas Oil Stadium after winning their fifth game in a row last Sunday. Dallas has to be feeling pretty good about themselves after outgaining the Eagles 576 to 256 yards and controlling the ball for more than 45 minutes in a 29-23 [...]
Minnesota-Seattle might be the most important game of the weekend. After the two NFC powers battle on Monday night, one will come out in a great position for a wildcard while the other will have to pick it up big time in the final 3 regular season weeks. Even the oddsmakers seem befuddled by this game, attaching a natural Week 14 Monday Night Football betting home line of SEA -3.0. The Minnesota Vikings are only 1 ½ games behind the Chicago [...]
