The NFL season is on the verge of a new beginning, and the games are often talked about. There are 18 weeks of games, each with a specific day, and a lot of betting. Whether you bet on the moneyline or the over/under market, there is a way to profit with the right NFL picks.
Despite a four-game losing streak, the Titans have a chance to stop the skid against the Texans. But it is a difficult task. In fact, they are in a bit of a bind, as they are in danger of missing the playoffs.
The Broncos are a solid 1-point favorite over the Lions in what could be a battle of two teams trying to put their season back on track. But the Titans are also in a dangerous position, and will need a big game from Derrick Henry to keep them in the hunt.
If you like the Steelers, you should bet on their defense. Those teams are very good at stopping the run, and this will be a huge test for the Raiders. They have had trouble stopping the run lately, and will need to do so against the Steelers’ front.
Similarly, the Seahawks have a lot of their offense on the ground, and Kenneth Walker will try to make a run. However, the defense has plenty of other weapons, and the Seahawks should be able to stay in the game.
The Jets are another team that is in a tough spot, as they have lost three of their last four. While they have the third-ranked defense in the league, they haven’t been as consistent on the road. And they don’t have much help with their receivers. It will be hard for QB Geno Smith to throw accurately against this unit, which has been a weakness this year.
The Jaguars, on the other hand, are coming off an impressive comeback win over Dallas. They have been inconsistent on the road this season, but have a strong home record. As long as they can keep Jared Goff in check, they should be able to take this game.
For the Vikings, their defense should be able to hold up against the Giants. The Giants will have to deal with Saquon Barkley, but the Vikings will also have to be careful with quarterback Dalvin Cook. Despite having the best record in the league, the Eagles have the worst record on the road.
It is interesting to note that the Eagles have half as many takeaways on the road as they do at home. This could mean that the team has more opportunistic players at home. That may be a disadvantage, but it could also be strength.
A similar scenario has played out in recent weeks, with the Texans going through the same kind of difficulties. Their roster is a mix of talent and inexperience, and they haven’t matched the Cowboys’ performance in the “Battle of Texas” so far.
