NFL Predictions Against The Spread This Weekend

By Rebecca Ellis


The NFL divisional second round 2016 playoff schedule is just about to kick off. Before it commences, it could be of great fun and importance to look at the spreads with regards to this oncoming weeks round of Divisional games for the weekend. Here, I will outline an elaborate report on my NFL predictions against the spread, for the next oncoming round.

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.

Green Bay Packers versus Arizona Cardinals is also another matched slotted for the weekend. In my unsolicited opinion, though the Packers tried their level best to outshine the overrated Washington by a ruthless seventeen last week, they are not as good.

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.

There is also the Pittsburgh Steelers against Denver Broncos. The Steelers are not in very good form as they edge to counter Denver Broncos, and have had troubles reaching the playoffs. To add more insult to injury, the team will be without their best receiver, Antonio Brown, and also their leading rusher, DeAngelo Williams. Even worse, Ben Roethlisberger will not be in perfect shape, following the injury he suffered in Wild Card round.

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.
