Looking for NFL expert picks this week? You’re in the right place. Cappers Picks has been covering NFL football for years, and this page is where we collect current free selections from our professional football handicappers throughout the week.
The NFL betting board can change quite a bit between Monday morning and kickoff. Lines move, injuries matter, weather becomes a factor, and our cappers don’t all release their plays at the same time. Some guys will attack an early number while others prefer to wait and see where the market goes, so the picks on this page can change as we get closer to game day.
Free NFL expert picks, weekly football best bets, ATS plays, moneylines and totals from Cappers Picks handicappers.
Free NFL Picks From Cappers Picks Handicappers
Every NFL week brings a different betting card. Some weeks our experts find several games they want to attack, while other weeks they’re more selective. We’re not interested in manufacturing a pile of NFL picks just because there are a bunch of games on the schedule and somebody wants an opinion on every one of them.
Our handicappers work through the weekly schedule looking for betting value against the current numbers. That can mean an NFL point spread, moneyline, total or another market where the capper believes the sportsbook line gives us an opportunity. Sometimes the best play is a favorite everybody likes, sometimes it’s an ugly underdog nobody wants, and sometimes the right call is leaving a game alone.
As new plays are released, this page gives you another place to find them. When the regular season winds down, we don’t stop either; you’ll also find NFL playoff picks for the Wild Card and Divisional rounds, conference championship games and, of course, the Super Bowl.
NFL Football Betting Experts
There’s no shortage of people willing to give you an NFL pick. Open social media on Sunday morning and you’ll find thousands of them, but that’s not the same thing as following a handicapper whose selections and performance can actually be tracked over time.
Cappers Picks works with established sports handicappers who release football selections throughout the season. We don’t expect you to judge somebody because he went 3-0 one Sunday, posted a winning ticket on Instagram or told everybody he’s the greatest NFL capper alive.
You can dig into the people behind the picks using our handicapper leaderboards and historical handicapper trends. Check the records, look at the results and decide for yourself. That’s a much better starting point than blindly following somebody because he called himself an NFL expert.
This Week’s Free Expert NFL Football Picks
The section below is populated with current free NFL picks from our expert handicappers. New selections can appear throughout the football week as our cappers release their plays, so check back as the week’s games get closer to kickoff.
Jimmy Boyd
1* Free Pick on Cowboys -4
This line is about who the Eagles are missing, not who the Cowboys are.
Jalen Hurts is on injured reserve with blood clots and isn't coming back this season.
Tanner McKee takes over, and his first start told you what to expect: 4.8 yards per attempt against Carolina in a home loss.
Now take away his weapons.
DeVonta Smith is out with a hamstring.
Dontayvion Wicks is out with an ankle.
Philadelphia is throwing Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown out there against DaRon Bland and a healthy Joey Porter Jr.
Dallas Goedert can't carry a passing game by himself.
The defense is banged up too.
Nolan Smith is out in the concussion protocol, and both Jonathan Greenard and Jalyx Hunt are game-time decisions.
Saquon Barkley is questionable and hasn't played since Week 4.
The form reflects it.
The Eagles have lost 4 straight and are averaging 16.4 points over their last 5 games.
The Cowboys get DeMarvion Overshown back at linebacker and are putting up 25.2 points a game behind Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
I'll be honest about the other side.
Dallas has dropped the last 3 meetings with Philadelphia, and Prescott has a 4:4 TD:INT ratio over his last four starts.
But those head-to-head losses came against Hurts, not a backup throwing to practice-squad depth.
A healthy offense against a gutted roster on a four-game slide.
Laying 4 is the right price.
I like the Cowboys
Want Even More Free NFL Picks?
The expert selections above aren’t the only NFL predictions you’ll find at Cappers Picks. Our writers also break down individual games throughout the schedule, looking at the matchup, current odds, betting trends and other factors before finishing with a free prediction and best bet.
Those articles are a different product from the handicapper selections on this page, and that’s intentional. If you want individual matchup breakdowns, head over to our free NFL picks and predictions section, where you’ll find our latest NFL game previews.
If you’d rather see what the computers think, we’ve got that covered too. Our NFL computer picks and AI predictions provide a completely different way to evaluate the weekly football board. You can follow the handicappers, read the game previews, check the computer predictions or compare all three before deciding whether there’s a bet you like.

Weekly Free NFL Picks
The NFL schedule gives bettors something different almost every week. Thursday Night Football starts the action, Sunday brings the biggest card, and Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football give bettors a couple more standalone games to attack. During the playoffs the schedule changes, but the handicapping doesn’t stop.

NFL Best Bets This Week
What makes something an NFL best bet? For us, it isn’t simply the biggest game on television. A Chiefs-Bills primetime matchup can be great to watch without being the best betting opportunity on the board, while a game getting half the attention might offer the better number.
Our handicappers can consider quarterback play, offensive and defensive matchups, injuries, coaching tendencies, scheduling situations, travel, weather and recent performance. How those factors fit together matters, but so does the price the sportsbook is asking you to bet.
You can handicap the matchup correctly and still make a bad bet if you’re laying the wrong number. A team we liked at -2.5 doesn’t automatically remain a good bet at -4.5 after the market moves, and an under we liked at 47 might not offer the same value after the total drops to 43.5.
That’s why it’s always worth checking the current NFL football betting odds when comparing the picks on this page with the number available at your sportsbook.
Why Give Away Free NFL Picks?
Fair question. Cappers Picks sells premium handicapper selections, so why would our experts also release NFL picks for free? Think of the free selections as a chance to see what a handicapper does before deciding whether you want anything more.
Anybody can call himself a professional capper. What matters to us is connecting the person making the selection with actual performance information instead of asking you to believe a bunch of marketing claims. Our experts’ free sports picks let you see current selections, while our Cappers Picks experts, leaderboards and historical trends give you more information about the handicappers behind them.
You don’t have to buy anything to use the free NFL picks on this page. They’re here for you to check out each week, follow the results and decide for yourself what you think of the people making them.

NFL Picks Against the Spread, Moneylines & Totals
Not every NFL pick has to be against the spread. Our football handicappers can attack different markets depending on where they see the best opportunity, and there’s no reason to force an ATS play when the better bet might be a moneyline or total.
Here are some of the NFL betting options you’ll see throughout the season.
- NFL Point Spreads: Pick a team against the sportsbook’s posted spread rather than simply picking the outright winner.
- NFL Moneylines: Bet on which team wins the game outright, with the price determining the potential return.
- NFL Totals: Bet whether the combined score finishes over or under the sportsbook’s posted total.
- NFL First & Second Half Bets: Bet a spread, moneyline or total covering a specific portion of the game.
- NFL Player & Team Props: Bet on a particular player, team statistic or event rather than simply the final result.
- NFL Parlays: Combine multiple betting selections on one ticket for a larger potential payout, with every required leg needing to win.
- NFL Teasers: Adjust point spreads or totals across multiple selections in exchange for a different payout.
- NFL Futures: Bet on longer-term outcomes such as division, conference or Super Bowl winners.
- NFL Live Betting: Bet on changing markets after the football game has started.
You don’t need to use every type of bet, and you sure as hell don’t need to bet every NFL game on the board. The goal is finding the spots where the matchup, your handicapping and the available number give you a reason to put your money down.
NFL Playoff Picks & Super Bowl Best Bets
This page stays active after the regular-season schedule is finished. Our NFL handicappers continue working through the Wild Card round, Divisional round and conference championship games before finishing with Super Bowl picks and best bets.
The playoff card gets smaller every week, which makes selectivity even more important. Four playoff games on the schedule don’t automatically mean four bets from every handicapper, and the Super Bowl being the biggest game of the season doesn’t automatically make it the best betting game of the season.
We’ll post the plays our cappers actually release and let the picks speak for themselves.

Cappers Picks also reviews sportsbooks for bettors looking to compare betting options. Availability, rules, promotions and eligibility can vary depending on where you live, so check the sportsbook’s current terms before signing up or making a bet.
