Week 16 NFL Winning Picks: Playoff Implications All Around with lucky #7!
Crazy week in NFL. RPJ was a winner, the underdog strategy was a winner but we are sad to say we were knocked out of the winner’s bracket of our knockout pool. We now get lumped into the second chance grouping but will not win major coinage. Very sad. Crazy lines this week. Most of them seem to be 7 points or 14 points and there are a ton of 7-7 teams competing for a playoff spot. Hopefully 7 is our lucky number this week!
RPJ Betting $yndicate Picks - We have been hot lately and we credit the list format. The more analysis we give you the more we lose so now we are relegated to simply telling you what we are going to bet. Two weeks ago we were 8-4 and this past week we were 4-3-1. On the season, RPJ is now 52-43-1. So here is the list of the week:
Buffalo at Atlanta (-9) - We are betting the Falcons to win and cover!
Kansas City at Cincinnati (-14) - We are betting the Bengals to win and cover!
Seattle at Green Bay (-14) - We are betting Green Bay to win and cover!
Houston at Miami (-3) - We are betting Miami to win and cover!
Carolina at NY Giants (-7) - We are betting the Giants to win and cover!
NY Jets at Indianapolis (-5.5) - We are betting the NY Jets to pull the cover!
Denver at Philadelphia (-7) - We are betting Philly to win and cover!
Dallas at Washington (+7) - We are betting Dallas to win and cover!
Minnesota at Chicago (+7) - We are betting the Vikings to win and cover!
The Underdog Strategy - Every time we feel like writing this strategy off, it goes nuts on us. Last week, underdogs were 11-4-1 in the NFL. That is a serious payday. On the season, this strategy is now 117-103-3. It seems to us that when the favorites go on a big run, the following week is a HUGE opportunity to bet the underdogs. Vegas tends to get carried away with their lines. We think this has validity. Underdogs in bold
San Diego (+3) at Tennessee
Buffalo (+9) at Atlanta
Kansas City (+14) at Cincinnati
Oakland (+3) at Cleveland
Seattle (+14) at Green Bay
Houston (+3) at Miami
Carolina (+7) at NY Giants
Jacksonville (+8) at New England
Tampa Bay (+14) at New Orleans
Baltimore (+3) at Pittsburgh
St. Louis (+14) at Arizona
Detroit (+12) at San Francisco
NY Jets at (+5.5) Indiananpolis
Denver (+7) at Philadelphia
Dallas at Washington (+7)
Minnesota at Chicago (+7)
Knockout Pool Strategy - It was a very sad day in RPJ Land last week. Effing Raiders dashed our HUGE payout in the knockout pool. Effing Raiders and their last minute come from behind win against the freakin Denver Broncos, 14 point favorite Denver Broncos, with Jamarcus, 10th string, Russell engineering the come from behind win. Yes we are bitter. Our knockout pool has a second bracket for the losers to keep playing but the payout sucks because it is chopped between all remaining losers when the winner’s bracket ends. Probably end up with $50 even if we win and that blows. So based on this we are still picking.
Week 1: New Orleans Saints
Week 2: Washington Redskins
Week 3: Baltimore Ravens
Week 4: Chicago Bears
Week 5: Philadelphia Eagles
Week 6: Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 7: New England Patriots
Week 8: San Diego Chargers
Week 9: Seattle Seahawks
Week 10: Minnesota Vikings
Week 11: Jacksonville Jaguars
Week 12: Cincinnati Bengals
Week 13: Indianapolis Colts
Week 14: Tennessee Titans
Week 15: Denver Broncos (losing pick)
Week 16: Arizona Cardinals
