So here we are Wildcard weekend in the NFL. These 4 games pose some interesting questions, like is McCoy going to be able to contribute 100% to the Bills offense, is Mariota going to throw more INTs than TDs, were the last 2 games by the Jags what the Jags really are and finally are the Rams going to be able to knockoff the defending NFC champions. I hope I have read enough about these 8 teams to come up with a few best bets and regular plays. So without further adieu below are my picks for this wildcard weekend. I reposted my end of the regular season stats because I am very proud of them as I keep the playoff stats separate.
2017 SEASON FINAL STATS

BEST BETS
My FIRST BEST BET is on the CAROLINA PANTHERS/NEW ORLEANS SAINTS game to go OVER 47. Both games this year these 2 teams have played the Saints have scored more than 30 points and I for one do not see that changing in this game. I also believe that the Saints won't keep the Panthers off the scoreboard so I like the over in this game a lot. I am making the over my FIRST BEST BET.
My NEXT BEST BET is on the ATLANTA FALCONS/LOS ANGELES RAMS game to go OVER 48. The last game these 2 played this year on 12/16 the total was 56, and once again I don't see any reaon why that won't happen again. Also the last 5 games the Rams played all went over the total. Last year in the playoffs the Falcons games totaled 56 and 63 so they do not play conservative. I like the over and it is my NEXT BEST BET.
My LAST BEST BET is on the KANSAS CITY CHIEFS at home giving 7 points to the Tennessee Titans. This seems like a lot of points to give the Titans but the Chiefs are home and come into the game on a 4 game winning streak while the Titans have only won 1 out of the last 4 games. I like Mariota but he has thrown more INTs(15) this year than TDs(13) while Alex Smith has thrown 26 TDs with only 5 picks. The Chiefs are home where they are 6-2 and in my opinion they also have the better coach in Andy Reid. So I am making the Chiefs my LAST BEST BET.
I like the Atlanta Falcons on the road getting 5 1/2 points from the Los Angeles Rams.
I like the Buffalo Bills on the road getting 9 points from the Jacksonville Jaguars.
And finally I like the New Orleans Saints at home giving the Carolina Panthers 6 points.
I will be back very late Sunday night with my pick on the College Championship game.
And as always - Remember to bet with your head and not over it.
