Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff Betting Preview
Content
The Seahawks have opened as 3.5-point favourites this week at home against a Ravens side looking to extend their winning streak to three. Los Angeles can rest a little easier knowing Hunter Henry is back fighting fit, which is an encouraging sign against a Titans team that has allowed the second-most touchdowns to tight ends. Bookmakers have favoured the Giants in this one with home-field advantage and an extra two days’ rest. Unfortunately, it’s tough to trust either side straight-up right now, and with the Total going Over in four of Arizona’s last six games, it’s safe to play the points. Running the ball came easy to the Texans last week as Carlos Hyde exploded for 116-yards and a touchdown, but that won’t be the case this week in Indy. Indianapolis also pulled off a victory over the Chiefs a fortnight ago at Arrowhead and have since had a week off to reflect on where the rest of the season is headed.

Cardinals Dominated Browns To Remain Undefeated
For Christmas this year, the NFL has gifted us with a high-stakes matchup between two teams who are no stranger to high-stakes outings against one another. The Vikings and Saints have met each other twice in the playoffs in the past informative post three years, and Minnesota has had New Orleans’ number with two wins in those postseason matchups. The Vikings have allowed 27.7 points per game this season, the eighth-most in the NFL. The secondary has been a real problem spot as they’ve allowed a 96.8 opposing passer rating, the ninth-highest in football.
Nfl Underdog Record
This all came against a Rams defense that is allowing the fourth-fewest passing yards per game this season. The Patriots’ defense is likely a bit overrated in public perception but they have been solid, allowing 22 points and 339 yards per game. The betobe.in Patriots didn’t look great this past week as they lost to a Broncos team that scored zero touchdowns despite two red zone appearances. The Patriots struggled to put up points in Cam Newton’s return to the field. Newton rushed 10 times for 76 yards and a touchdown, but he threw two interceptions and no touchdowns.

In the Giants last three wins, they have given up 10, 6, and 7 points and that’s 23 points to some pretty good offenses in Dallas, Detroit, and Washington. The Giants spent millions of dollars to shore up their biggest weakness from the 2015 season. The results have been a unit that is second in the NFL in points allowed per game (17.8) and third against the run (88.6 yards per game). Sunday’s game should be a classic late-season matchup in cold weather that will be won by the team that plays solid defense and doesn’t turn the ball over. With a win in the season finale over Detroit, Green Bay captured the NFC North Division and the fourth seed in the NFC playoffs. The Packers will host the Giants on Sunday in what could be the best game of the postseason.
One thing is a definite in Sunday night’s Baltimore-Pittsburgh AFC North clash. It is normally one of the most physical games in the NFL year-in and year-out. The Ravens travel to Pittsburgh on the heels of a three-game winning streak. Baltimore (7-5) currently holds one of the AFC’s two wild card spots and could surely use a victory to enhance its postseason position. Beating Pittsburgh is something easier said than done and the Steelers have won the last two games in the series. Both were high-scoring affairs, in New Orleans and in Atlanta.

The Dolphins suffered a blow last week though as DE William Hayes tore an ACL while sacking Raiders QB Derek Carr. In an effort not to put his body weight on Carr –which would result in a penalty – Hayes got his foot caught in the ground resulting in the injury. After dropping their first two games of the season, the Seahawks have won two straight. Last Sunday, they beat Arizona but the victory was overshadowed by an apparent season-ending injury to S Earl Thomas. Thomas, who had held out prior to the season seeking a bigger contract, looks to have suffered a broken leg.
