It is lastly right here.
The NFL playoffs are about to start, which implies there are a number of methods in which you’ll be able to wager and make some further money this weekend. However what are the very best bets to make? What are the specialists saying?
And is there a means the place you’ll be able to flip a few these picks into an affordable parlay?
Properly we have got you lined, as our FOX Sports activities betting analysts have every laid out their favourite bets throughout the Wild Card matchups— making a six-leg parlay that might win huge. All six video games have been lined, with each prop bets and group wagers concerned.
The parlay under at the moment has odds of +9516, or simply about 95/1. Meaning a $20 wager may churn you a wholesome revenue of $1903.15, and a $10 guess may earn you $951.65.
So what did the specialists need to say? Here is our Wild Card weekend parlay, with all odds courtesy of DraftKings Sportsbook. Let’s have a look:
Jason: Will Dissly anytime TD (+340)
With receiver Josh Palmer dominated out, and Quentin Johnston questionable, this figures to be a decent finish recreation for the Chargers. That ought to shock no one since Justin Herbert loves throwing to his tight ends.
Count on the Texans to load up on Ladd McConkey with their prime two cornerbacks, which means somebody on the Chargers has to catch passes. Enter the tight finish, Will Dissly.
Toss within the truth the Texans ranked within the backside 10 defending tight ends in terms of receptions, yards and touchdowns— and you’ve got the potential for one or each to succeed in the tip zone. The Texans gave up two landing passes to the Ravens on Christmas – each catches by tight ends. Dissly has two scores this 12 months. If you wish to juice your odds much more, Stone Smartt is an effective play right here— as he is +1000 to attain at any time.
Will: Lamar Jackson Over 50 rush yards (-120)
With the Ravens’ main receiver Zay Flowers unsure to play on Saturday, the potential 2024 MVP, Lamar Jackson, might need to take issues into his personal arms… or, ft, to be extra correct. If Flowers is certainly out, the Ravens passing assault takes a serious hit, which may result in extra of Jackson working. Usually, betting on quarterbacks to have success dashing is an effective technique come playoff time as it’s. Throughout an extended grueling season, quarterbacks might run out of bounds or throw the ball away in sure cases to protect their well being. Within the playoffs, the place it’s win or go house, that’s far much less prone to occur. Count on to see loads of Lamar Jackson on the transfer in opposition to the Steelers.
Sammy: Bo Nix to throw an interception (-145)
Worth is essential right here as some sportsbooks are getting near -160. The purpose unfold (Payments -9) tells us the Broncos are possible trailing for large parts of this recreation, in order that they’ll most likely be compelled to throw greater than they’d want. Mix 30-degree climate, potential snow and a rookie quarterback making his first-ever playoff begin— and I am going to take my probabilities with Nix hurling the ball to the opposite group a minimum of as soon as.
Pat: Packers-Eagles Below 45.5 (-112)
This might simply be a high-scoring affair. Inexperienced Bay and Philadelphia each common about 27 factors per recreation. However there are a few parts that make Below 45.5 value a glance in Sunday’s recreation at Philly. First, each quarterbacks are coming off accidents. Packers quarterback Jordan Love exited a Week 18 loss to Chicago with an elbow concern. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was in concussion protocol and sat out the final two regular-season video games. Second, each groups have robust working backs who can management the clock. The Eagles’ Saquon Barkley rushed for two,005 yards this season (5.8 yards per carry), and the Packers’ Josh Jacobs had 1,329 yards dashing (4.4 yards per carry).
Chris: Jayden Daniels Below 31.5 cross makes an attempt (-110)
I anticipate this being a detailed recreation, so I don’t see numerous hole makes an attempt in a late catch-up scenario. The Commanders could be sensible to make use of Jayden Daniels’ legs right here to assist their protection in opposition to a Tampa offense which may harm a susceptible Washington protection. When you have a look at Daniels over his previous couple of full video games, his workload has ramped up on the bottom — 16 carries vs Atlanta, 9 vs Philly, 11 vs New Orleans… that resembles what he was doing early within the 12 months earlier than his harm. Washington is significantly better with him as a working risk, so I believe we’re going to see numerous quarterback run, as its so exhausting to defend, and little bit of Brian Robinson Jr. working too.
Geoff: Matthew Stafford over 22.5 completions (-105)
It is a improbable matchup for the Rams quarterback to hold the offensive load in Los Angeles. The Vikings do two issues on protection. They disguise early after which change to one thing on the snap. Based on the information, Matthew Stafford is second in completion share in opposition to defenses that disguise coverages. The Vikings protection additionally likes to run a canopy zero stress to drive quarterbacks into errors. That does not work with Matthew Stafford who threw for essentially the most yards within the league in opposition to cowl zero. That is all to say I believe Stafford will play nicely and full a ton of passes.
