NFL Wild Card Trends
Wild Card Weekend brings three Week 17 rematches and a slew of potential betting trends to take to the bank.
In Dallas Saturday night, the favored Cowboys look to replicate their 24-0 plucking of the Eagles. But conventional wisdom – and recent January trends – suggests the opposite will happen.
Philly is 6-1 ATS its past seven January road games (excluding last week’s debacle). Their hosts are a lame 1-9 SU and just 2-8 ATS their past 10 January games (including playoffs and regular season).
Does it make the Eagles at +3 any more attractive at
bodog ?
What about the Patriots at home, without Wes Welker? They are 11-2 SU past 13 home games in January and face a hungry Ravens team. Baltimore has lost 6 straight to New England and this is the kind of situation where Brady will excel.
New England has also owned the AFC North, going 13-2 SU and 11-4 ATS since 2002. They are also 9-2-1 favoring the UNDER the past 12 games as a favorite.
How about this one in the Green Bay-Arizona rematch of last week – the Packers are 9-1 SU and 8-0-2 ATS their past 10 games vs NFC West foes. Or the Bengals 2-7 SU & ATS past 9 vs AFC East foes as they embark on a home-and-home rematch with New York.
