The 2019 NFL Regular Season is over and NFL wild card week is upon us. It has been a season full of surprises and emotions. Now it is the turn of the best 12 teams of this season to compete to see who can reach Super Bowl 54… The best is just about to come!
Join me, briefly, to see which are set for this first week of playoffs, better known as the NFL Wild Card Week, to later move on to our ATS Picks
AFC
Tennessee Titans at New England Patriots
Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans
Bye: Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs
NFC
Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints
Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles
Bye: San Francisco 49ers, Green Bay Packers
Wild Card Week ATS Picks
Last week we hit one Pick and missed the other one, this week I hope to hit on all my Picks!
This week I do not like the spread of any of the NFC games at all. The Seattle in Philadelphia spread looks tricky. The Vikings in New Orleans spread is very high and didn’t seem attractive enough to me to bet on either team. That is why this week I will only recommend betting on the AFC games.
Pick of the Week: Patriots -4.5

Tennessee Titans at New England Patriots: For the first time in the last 11 years the Patriots have no bye in the playoffs and are playing in the wild card round. Everyone, except Patriots fans, wants to see them fall and this is precisely what makes them stronger. The motivation they have to show that the champion will not go so easy. In front of them, they have a tough rival, the new and improved Titans, who came back to life by giving the starting QB job to Ryan Tannehill. Led by a pupil and former player of Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, I think it will be a tough game. The Titans will be in the fight until the end, but in the end, the experience, the locality and the hard defense of the Patriots will prevail to come out with the victory in this match
Do I think the Pats will reach the Super Bowl once again? No, I don’t think so. But that’s another story and we’ll see it next week. For now, my prediction is that they are going to beat the Titans by at least 6 points and will travel to Kansas City next week.
Hunch Pick: Bills +2.5
Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans: No one ever gave credit to the Bills throughout the season. Yet they finished with a 10-6 record, just like the Texans. They are very even teams and I think the Bills have a good chance of winning this match. During the regular season, they performed very well as visitors, winning 6 games and losing only 2. They are the ideal Underdog to bet on this wild card round. It will be an even game and I think if Bills lose it will be only by a few points. That’s why I lean towards Buffalo and its +2.5. Keep an eye on the spread and if it moves to +3, lock it in quickly
It’s all for this week, and I wish you a 2020 full success and blessing to all of you!
