Jan 8 NFL Best Bets

Chargers at Broncos

The Chargers have already clinched their playoff spot so I’m not too sure how long they will play starters. The Broncos are going to go all out to try and finish their season on a high note. I don’t expect the Chargers to play for most of the second half. I will take the Broncos starters over the Chargers backups in this one.

Broncos -3 (-110) 2.5 Units

Ravens at Bengals

The Bengals have to win this game so they can have a home field in the next round. The NFL coming up with their coin-flip decision to determine home field if these two meet again is insanely dumb. The Bengals will win this game with ease as they’re fired up to make sure they have home field. On the other side of the ball, nobody knows anything about Lamar Jackson’s status so I’m going to back the healthier and more motivated team.

Bengals -6.5 (-110) 2.5 Units

Lions at Packers

The NFL clearly wants the Packers in the playoffs with the scheduling shenanigans they did by having Seahawks-Rams game on before this one. The Seahawks win and the Lions have no chance at the playoffs. Everything seems like it’s just falling into place for the Packers to sneak into the playoffs. Aaron Rodgers is inevitable, I really wish the Lions could stop him but it feels like too tall a task to ask.
