The NFL season is coming to an end so there is a whole lot of information out regarding where teams are at offensively and defensively and matchups can be more heavily dissected. This makes things quite interesting for us and Vegas when looking at the lines on this week’s games. Let’s take a look at three that intrigue us…
The Panthers head to New Orleans for a big matchup against the Saints and we think this is the most exciting game to watch this weekend. Cam Newton goes on the road as a four-point underdog and while that number feels about right, we like the Panthers side of it. The Saints didn’t look their best last week on the west coast.
The Browns may not ever win a game in 2017, but for them to be two-touchdown underdogs to anyone is just too many points. We’ll be taking them against the Chargers even if they are heading westward for this one.
We’ll be taking another road team for our final pick and this time it’s the Vikings (+3) against Atlanta. The Falcons have been playing great in the first half of games before stumbling in the second half and we don’t think they can do that against the very talented Minnesota Vikings.
