NFL Predictions Against The Spread This Weekend

By Rebecca Ellis


Just before the second round of the 2016 NFL Division playoffs commence, it is all fun, glamor and profound excitement to all the fanatics of the competitions, with many having speculations and various expectations on who they think will win, and why. The games are usually a favorite to many, and attract massive attention. In light of the NFL predictions against the spread, the following are my independent views on how various games will roll out, over the weekend.

The first game is whereby Kansas City Chiefs meet New England Patriots.it is worth noting that the Chiefs are boasting of having an incredible ten game winning trend, heading into Foxboro. On the other hand, the Patriots have a worrying number of questionable players, who have disturbing data on their injury report. Among them, is Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots also, may lack the services of Jeremy Maclin, an offensive player, who has elicited mixed speculation for not practicing for all week. Though this will be a tough tussle, am tempted to preempt that the Chiefs can at least contain the game within a fields goal.

Another game scheduled for the weekend is Green Bay Packers against Arizona Cardinals. In my opinion, the Packers are not a very strong team, though they came behind to beat the Washington by a whooping seventeen points, last week.

With recognition of the fact that the Cardinals have not had an encounter for the past week, they obviously have reserved all their energies for this tussle. This is in addition to their recent sterling form, including hammering the same Packers with an unprecedented 38-8, a month ago. My view on this game is that the Cardinals will comfortably take the day.

Another game that will be of keen interest will be Seattle Seahawks, who will be off to weigh on Carolina Panthers. The Seahawks are lucky to be still in the playoffs. Though many would laugh away the probability that the Seahawks will be at a position of containing the ruthless Panthers, I presume they will. I hold the opinion that the Seahawks will outsmart the Panthers, outright.

However, in my view, they overshadow the Panthers, in retaliation and revenge of their thin loss against the Panthers last month, of a meager four points. This happened before the Seahawks reorganized themselves and got back to their winning ways, which propelled them to the topmost position in DVOA.

Another difficult encounter will be between Pittsburgh Steelers and Denver Broncos. The former have had a series of downfalls in the last round, and will be aiming at reclaiming their former glory.

Though Pittsburgh Steelers managed to thrush the Broncos at Pittsburgh a month ago, that will be put to greater test in this game, and will be a strenuous challenge this time round. The Denver Broncos defense, in my view, will be very hard to crack. On this, my bet is on Broncos.
