The two picks from Week 17 took a split. The Bears offense was anemic against a horrendous Lions defense. Arizona/Atlanta hit even the closing number, which dropped two points from my position. Stevejanik is not a professional, but he uses his free time to research his favorite plays and give his insight into why he's doing a particular play.
The Panthers have shown some spunk the last few weeks. Sam Darnold has been efficient and careful with the football. The Saints are on a three-game win streak. Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill are an odd backfield duo. Andy Dalton is inconsistent. Both teams play at a slow pace. I give the Saints the edge. The total has jumped 2.5/3 points since it's opening line.
Week 18 NFL Betting Picks - Teaser (6 points) Houston Texas at Indianapolis Colts (-2.5), Minnesota Vikings (-7. 5), Chicago Bears (-8.0), New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles (-14).
The Vikings were embarrassed by the Packers in Week 17. The Giants have clinched their playoff berth. Philadelphia is playing to clinch the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Chicago will start Nathan Peterman. Houston is a favorite to cover. The Colts are playing for nothing. They are trying to pick up a draft pick. New York Giants are a surprise team. Their defense is very good. Philly is banged up.
