NFL Picks January 2: Vikings Battle Packers in NFC North Showdown

With two weeks left in the regular season, there are still 24 teams with chances at a playoff spot. There is a full slate of games set with the Vikings trying to stay in the playoff race as they head to Green Bay.

Minnesota Vikings versus Green Bay Packers

The Packers head into play with the best record in the NFL and the Vikings need a win to stay in the playoff hunt in the NFC. Green Bay is a 6.5-point favorite with odds of 1.34 to 3.220 and an over/under of 47.5. The Packers have a +31 to +19 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Both teams have been trending in games “over” the line and the Score Predictor has the Packers winning by the score of 39-23 with 70 percent confidence. I like the Packers to secure number one seed in the conference, covering the spread.

Kansas City Chiefs versus Cincinnati Bengals

The Chiefs take their number one seed in the AFC to Cincinnati to face the AFC North-leading Bengals. Both teams are “burning hot” and Kansas City has a +30 to +23 edge on the Power Ranking Indicator. Kansas City is a 5.5-point road favorite with odds of 1.410 to 2.868 and an over/under of 49.5. The Score Predictor sees the Chiefs in a 34-18 rout with a confidence of 73 percent. Both teams have been trending in high-scoring games, so betting “over” is a smart play. Note that the Bengals have been unstable, at -1 on the Team Volatility Oscillator. I like the Chiefs to win and cover.

Las Vegas Raiders versus Indianapolis Colts

The Raiders are on the outside of the playoff picture looking in, while the Colts are a solid fifth in the AFC. Indianapolis is a 6.5-point favorite with odds of 1.34 to 3.22 and an over/under of 44.5. Both teams enter the contest “burning hot” and the Colts have a +26 to +12 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. The teams have been trending in games “under” the line, which is the solid bet here. Note that the Score Predictor is going over the line with the Colts winning 33-21 with 50 percent confidence. I like the Colts to win and cover, but in a lower-scoring game particularly with Carson Wentz on the COVID list.

Los Angeles Rams versus Baltimore Ravens

The Rams look to improve on their number three seed in the NFC as they head to Baltimore to face the Ravens, currently 8th in the AFC. The Rams are a 3.5-point road favorite with odds of 1.59 to 2.352 and an over/under of 46.5. The Rams have a +28 to +13 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” status versus “ice cold down”.  Both teams have been trending in games “over” the line according to the Totals Predictor and the Score Predictor has the Rams in a 41-22 blowout with 70 percent confidence. The Rams will win easily, covering the spread in a game going “over” the line.

Philadelphia Eagles versus Washington Redskins

The Philadelphia Eagles enter 7th in the NFC and control their own destiny. They enter Washington as a 3.5-point road favorite with odds of 1.51 to 2.540 and an over/under of 45.5. The Eagles have a +16 to +10 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator and “burning hot” versus “average down” on the Team Strength Oscillator. Note that both teams have been consistently performing according to their favorite/underdog status, as indicated on the Team Volatility Oscillator.  The Score Predictor has the Eagles by a 37-18 margin with 69 percent confidence. I like the Eagles to win and cover in a game going “over” the line.
