2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend Picks
NFL Picks for Bets and Contests
The final week of the NFL season was not kind to me, but that shouldn’t be surprising because the rest of the season wasn’t kind to me either. There was a stretch during the season where I lost 12 picks in a span of 5 weeks because of a missed kick in the game. It was a brutal way to lose. That’s all over now, and we’re on to the playoffs, where anything can happen.
I have a live future bet on the AFC North winning the Super Bowl. Before the season started I figured that division had 3 potential Super Bowl options in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Baltimore. The AFC North did get 3 teams in, but instead of Cincinnati, Pittsburgh claimed the final wild card spot. It will be hard for either PIT or CLE to run the table on the road in the playoffs, so hopefully Baltimore can keeps its magical season going and win the championship.
The contests are finished, but there is still football to play, so here are the bets I’m making for NFL wild card weekend:
- Kansas City -4.5
- LA Rams +3
- 2-team 6.5-point teaser Houston +9 & Buffalo -2.5
Good luck this week!
