The regular season of NFL Picks has concluded and now it’s time to turn our attention to this weeks NFL Wildcard Playoff Picks. Looking at this years participants there are certainly some surprises because I can’t think of many “experts” who listed Minnesota, Atlanta or Arizona as making it to the playoffs at the beginning of the year.
Not many forecasted this to be a Wild Card match-up at the beginning of the NFL betting season. However, the Atlanta Falcons (11-5, 9-7 ATS) will look to continue its unbelievable single season turnaround when it takes a trip to the desert to square off against the Arizona Cardinals (9-7, 9-7 ATS); kick-off is slated for 4:30 ET and the game can be seen nationally on NBC. The Falcons broke even for NFL bettors on the road this season by compiling a 4-4 ATS mark while Arizona produced a decent return posting a 5-3 home ATS record.
The Baltimore Ravens (11-5, 12-3-1 ATS) will look to keep its Super Bowl dreams intact as it visits sunny Miami for the second time this season to do battle with fiery head coach Tony Sparano’s Dolphins (11-5, 8-8 ATS); kick-off is slated for 1:00 ET and the NFL Playoff betting affair can be seen nationally on NBC. The Ravens were one of the best money-makers on the road this season after cashing ATS in 6 of their 8 games, while Miami struggled to cover the pointspread at home going a very poor 2-6 ATS.
The NFL Playoff fields are set with the New York Giants being a prohibitive online betting favorite to win their second straight Super Bowl.
How big of a favorite are the G-Men? They’re + 250 in the BetUS online sportsbook while the second choice, the Tennessee Titans, are a full + 500. That’s a + 250 difference!
It’s a big difference because an extra one-hundred and fifty for every hundred bucks could seriously make or break any NFL betting fan.
Having a first-round bye is huge in the NFL Playoffs and nowhere is that reflected more than in our updated Super Bowl Odds.
The four teams resting this week are the prohibitive favorites with the New York Giants (+250), Pittsburgh Steelers (+450), Carolina Panthers (+500) and Tennessee Titans (+600) leading the way.
The Giants are not surprising at all as the overall favorite, as the defending champs beat Carolina in the Meadowlands by running all over them to the tune of 301 yards. And while that was a close game overall, New York should be 4-6 point favorites if they meet in the NFC title game.
