Best values for 2020 NFL Playoff picks

One of the model's best bets for the postseason: The New York Giants (+200) win the NFC East. The Giants have won three games in a row to get to 4-7 and currently hold the tiebreaker over Washington (4-7) thanks to a pair of head-to-head victories. During the current winning streak, the Giants have eight takeaways and have only turned the ball over once during that span. The defense now ranks ninth in the NFL in points allowed and 10th in total defense.

The running game has also come to life, allowing the Giants to play balanced football. New York has rushed for at least 100 yards as a team in its last six games and Wayne Gallman has scored six rushing touchdowns in the last five weeks. That's why SportsLine's model has New York winning the division in 42.7 percent of simulations, a strong value since the +200 line implies that the Giants only win it 33.3 percent of the time.
