Most people who like to bet on sports have a gambling buddy. The guy you talk to all day only about the slate for night. My gambling buddy and I have a saying we have to follow. “Take the gut pick!” Lets get into some Gut Picks for NFL.
When you see the lines at first glance you have a “gut feeling” or “gut pick.” If you like to gamble on sports you definitely have had it before. The biggest mistake we all make is second guessing ourselves. We go to our favorite sports app to check stats, schedules, etc. We see “experts” pick the opposite way. The worst thing we do is listen to friends or family members, especially the ones who aren’t betting. Never listen to anyone who doesn’t gamble. All they know is straight win or loss and will never understand the lines. I repeat DO NOT take gambling picks from someone who dose not gamble. This mistake can affect relationships for a lifetime.
After my long sermon about taking your own picks and no one else’s, I am going to give you mine.
L.A. Rams vs Philadelphia Eagles (Pick em) (o/u 45.5) Gut Pick
This might be the trap game of the week but here we go. I am hammering the Rams this game. If they can get that up tempo offense rolling I think it’s a wrap. Also I think Carson Wentz sucks. Again these are my gut picks.
Take the Rams
Carolina Panthers vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers (TB -8.5) (o/u 47.5) Gut Pick
This is way too many points for the NFL that doesn’t involve Ravens or Chiefs. We got a team who didn’t make many mistakes in the Panthers. Their opponent on the other hand have made many mistakes. I think Brady wins because I just don’t seeing the goat losing two in a row. He will look great but won’t cover because Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t make many mistakes. Plus they got a dog standing behind him with Christian McCaffrey.
Panthers +8.5
Minnesota Vikings vs Indianapolis Colts (Ind -3) (o/u 48.5) Gut Pick
This one is real simple. I hate both quarterbacks, especially Phillip Rivers. This pick is solely based on the skill positions. I like the Vikings skills positions better so there it is, hammering the Vikings. You know what? I am taking them money line. GUT PICKS!!!
Vikings ML +140
I can not emphasize this enough. I literally looked at the board and picked. No research, no stat checks, no health checks. I urge you to do the same. Look at the board and go with your gut. #GutPicks
