You betting this weekend?

Thinking About Betting On The NFL This Weekend?

You might want to think again. Or at least have some extra info. Weโ€™ve got teams who already locked up a one seed, teams that are looking for better seeding, and other teams that will be golfing next week. So, what does it mean to bet this weekend?

Well, for โ€œstarters,โ€ some teams are resting players, so letโ€™s run through those first.

Key Players Resting

๐Ÿˆ The Ravens are resting Lamar Jackson, OBJ, and Zay Flowers

๐Ÿˆ The Browns are taking no chances. Elite Joe Flacco will get a day off today

๐Ÿˆ The Niners are giving Brock Purdy and CMC a rest in their game against LA Rams. The Rams are also giving the Matthew Stafford. The Rams are also resting Kyren Williams and Cooper Kupp

๐ŸˆPatrick Mahomes will be resting for the Chiefs

๐Ÿˆ The Raiders are also sitting Josh Jacobs, as heโ€™s not fully healthy

๐Ÿˆ DeVonta Smith and Darius Slay are also scratches for the Eagles tonight.

Key Matchups This Weekend

Pittsburgh Steelers @ Baltimore Ravens

๐Ÿ“บ๏ธ Saturday, 4:30 pm ET on ESPN

๐Ÿ’ฐ๏ธ The Steelers are favored at -3 and the O/U is 34.5

๐Ÿ‘€ The Steelers can lock up an AFC wild-card spot with a win in Baltimore. As you already know, The Ravens are sitting some starters and I would love to see the Steelers miss the playoffs because who wants to see a terrible offense continue to play in January? Not me !

Houston Texans @ Indianapolis Colts

๐Ÿ“บ๏ธ Gametime is Saturday, 8:15 pm ET on ESPN

๐Ÿ’ฐ๏ธ The Texans are favored by 1.5 points and the O/U is 47.5

๐Ÿ‘€ Depending on what happens in this game and the Jags/Titans game, the winner of this game could take the AFC South

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans

๐Ÿ“บ๏ธ Gametime is 1 pm ET on CBS on Sunday

๐Ÿ’ฐ๏ธ The Jags are favored by 3.5 points and the O/U is 41.5

๐Ÿ‘€ The Jags should win this game but thereโ€™s still a question of whether or not Trevor Lawrence is fully healthy for tomorrow. The Jags can take the AFC South with a win.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers @ Carolina Panthers

๐Ÿ“บ๏ธ Gametime is 1 pm ET on FOX on Sunday

๐Ÿ’ฐ๏ธ The Bucs are favored by 4.5 points and the O/U is 36.5

๐Ÿ‘€ The Bucs are 8-8 and need a win to lock up the NFC South. The Panthers already locked up the #1 pick for the Bears by having the worst record in the league. Will Carolina try to ball out today? My magic 8-ball says unlikely.

Atlanta Falcons @ New Orleans Saints

๐Ÿ“บ๏ธ Gametime is 1 pm ET on CBS

๐Ÿ’ฐ๏ธ The Saints are favored by 3 points and the O/U is 42.5

๐Ÿ‘€ If the Panthers upset the Bucs, the winner of this game will take the AFC title. God, I hate this division

Minnesota Vikings @ Detroit Lions

๐Ÿ“บ๏ธ Gametime is Sunday at 1 pm on FOX

๐Ÿ’ฐ๏ธ The Lions are favored by 3.5 points and the O/U is 46.5

๐Ÿ‘€ The Vikings NEED a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. The Packers could get in over the Vikings if Green Bay beats the Bears in the 4:25 pm game.

NFC East

Weโ€™re just bunching the NFC East into one group. The Eagles play the Giants at 4:25 pm ET and the Cowboys play the Commanders at the same time. If the Cowboys win, they secure the NFC East. If the Cowboys lose and the Eagles win, the Eagles will get the NFC East division title.

Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins

๐Ÿ“บ๏ธ Gametime is Sunday, 8:15 ET on NBC

๐Ÿ’ฐ๏ธ The Bills are favored by 2.5 points and the O/U is 48.5

๐Ÿ‘€ The winner of this game will win the AFC East. Could you draw up a final regular season game any better? Unlikely!

Itโ€™s a quick one today. Enjoy the games today and tomorrow and hopefully your team doesnโ€™t miss the playoffs ๐Ÿ˜‰
