NFL Picks: Wildcard Round
Each week Darren Dupont stops by with his betting picks and advice for our partners at ComeOn! Canada. Here they are for the playoffs… Rapid fire!
IND @ BUF (-6.5)
Buffalo is the hottest team entering the playoffs and just put up 50 on a good Miami defence. Phillip Rivers has been pretty good for the Colts early in games and can get the job done. Here’s what I think: the Colts will make a game of it, but Buffalo likely pulls away as the game progresses. I’m taking the Bills.
TB (-8.5) @ WFT
I love what is happening in Washington. Ron Rivera and Alex Smith are two of the best stories in the NFL and I’m really happy for the success they’ve had. That said, I think Tampa is starting to find their identity. Working Antonio Brown into the mix is dangerous for opposing defences. I’m taking Tampa to roll.
CHI @ NO (-9.5)
This is interesting. New Orleans might just be the best team in the NFL if they put it all together. They have an elite defence, elite coach, elite QB, and plenty of weapons. There aren’t a lot of holes here. Now, for Chicago, outside of last week, their offence had found its stride, putting up 30+ points in four straight games.
Look, there is no way to convince me that the Saints don’t win this game. But, it’s the playoffs and I just have a feeling that Chicago will keep it close. So, I’ll take the Bears to cover.
