Dec 24 NFL Best Bets

Eagles at Cowboys

Dallas is been waiting for this game since they lost to Philly earlier in the season with Cooper Rush starting. This time however, Philly’s backup Gardner Minshew is starting. There is no way a backup QB for the Eagles is going into Dallas and beating them.

Dallas hasn’t lost back to back games all season. They’ve bounced back in a big way after each loss they’ve had. I just don’t see the Eagles being able to keep up with the Cowboys offense and score enough points to cover, much less win.

Cowboys -5.5 (-110) 2.5 Units

Packers at Dolphins

The Packers are still in the playoff race somehow and the Dolphins are reeling losing their last 3 games. Even though they are at home, I don’t like giving up more than a FG to Rodgers. I think the Packers can cover this spread and even have a shot at winning this one outright.

The Dolphins have been struggling lately and for some reason they’ve been ignoring the run game and keep acting like Tua is a QB who can slice and dice defenses. It’s not a good look for them right now, they need to figure some things out offensively.

Packers +3.5 (-110) 2.5 Units

Bengals at Patriots

This Bengals team is rolling right now and is the hottest team in the league. I am not betting against Burrow and company when they’re on this type of streak. Burrow really seems to be developing into one of the best QB’s in football.

The Patriots have struggled to score points all season and I just don’t see them coming close to matching what the Bengals can do. I was surprised at how low this line was, I’m not too worried about the hook either, I just grabbed the Bengals as soon as I saw it.

Bengals -3.5 (-110) 2.5 Units

Chargers at Colts

This line felt like a trap. I didn’t understand why the Colts were only getting 4 points at home after that debacle against the Vikings last week. They literally gave up the biggest lead in NFL history (33 points!) when I see a funny line I usually side with it.

Colts getting more than a FG at home in this doesn’t seem like enough, but I’ll take the home underdog and the points to cover. The Chargers are a very inconsistent team so I wouldn’t be surprised if the Colts pulled off the upset.

Colts +4 (-110) 2.5 Units
