Week 17 ATS Picks
Finally, after two bad weeks, week 16 was a PERFECT week for us!!! All our picks were successful and we won in a big way. I hope to continue on the path of triumph this last week of the regular season.
Pick of the Week: Saints -13
Carolina Panthers at New Orleans Saints: This week is the one I least like to bet, so there will only be two picks. The reason, the teams already qualified to the Playoffs rest their starters or take some players out in the second half so It becomes totally unpredictable, in this case. The Saints have already won their division.
But they are looking to be 1 or 2 seed in the NFC which would represent a huge advantage for them because they would rest for a week and play at least 1 Playoff game at home, for this to happen they need to win against a Carolina team without any motivation and with the rookie QB, Will Grier in just his second performance as a starter in the NFL and also they need the 49ers to lose. San Francisco plays on Sunday night, so they have to go out with everything they have to do their job and win, and then wait for Seattle to do them the favor and beat San Francisco.
Hunch Pick: Redskins +11.5
Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys: The Cowboys have to go out to win and expect the Giants to do them the favor of beating the Eagles to be in the Playoffs. But they face a divisional rival that won’t make it easy for them, these are two teams that do not like each other and for the Redskins, leaving Dallas out of the playoffs will be their maximum achievement of the year. I assure you that they will go out really hard to achieve it. I do not know if they succeed, what I do believe is that if they lose, it will be for less than 11 points so I stay with the underdog and their +11.5.
It’s all for this week, the regular season is over, but more ATS Picks will come….in the following weeks, we are going to have picks for the NFL Playoffs, the NCAA Playoff, and the Super Bowl…Stay Tune.
