NFL Betting Tips: 9/1 accumulator for Super Wild Card weekend

As part of our expanding sports coverage here at BettingOdds.com we've enlisted our US sports specialist @OddsTerrier to do a weekly NFL preview and accumulator. This will continue with  the playoffs which start this week and eventually the 'Greatest show on Earth' Superbowl LVI, which will take place on February 13 in Inglewood, California at the SoFi Stadium, home of the LA Rams and Chargers. We'll have comprehensive NFL tips and prop bets throughout the playoff period on all of the games. Visit our NFL page for all the latest tips and news.

What an amazing end to the regular season! We had the incredible spectacle of all three games with massive playoff implications going to overtime. The end result was the Colts and Chargers missing out and the Steelers, Raiders and 49ers making it into the playoff bracket. Here is how the Super Wild Card weekend schedule stacks up:

There are some cracking ties and we'll have previews for all the games with tips and player propositions.

We've also got our weekly acca which landed again last week. That's two out of the last three weeks now - we are heating up at just the right time heading into the playoffs. We've picked out another four-fold which pays a little over 9/1 with bet365.

If you decide to hop on this pick then please stick to your limits and bet responsibly.

Philadephia Eagles at Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Bucs -9.5

I was a little bit torn on this one. I feel this game goes one of two ways. Eagles keep things close in the first half and Tom Brady eventually pulls the Bucs clears late in the 4th quarter. The other option being Tampa Bay take an early lead and then stretching their legs to a comfortable win.

I'm tempted to side with the latter. Why? Well it is Brady after all. The Bucs run defence should also be too much for an Eagles side that can't go toe to toe with Tampa and has to rely on their run game. I think the Bucs will cover the spread late here.

San Francisco 49ers at Dallas Cowboys - Cowboys ML

These two teams haven't faced off this season but they have history. These long-time rivals face off in what should be a magnificent game. The Niners will be full of confidence having seen off the Rams in overtime back in week 18 whilst the Cowboys dispatched the Eagles who had rested several starters. I'm going to side with the Cowboys excellent all round offense over the 49ers run-first attack here. With Jimmy Garoppolo still struggling with his thumb I'm taking Dak Prescott to find his excellent Wide Receivers and hit San Francisco where it hurts. 

Pittsburgh Steelers at Kansas City Chiefs - Steelers + 11.5

This one looks like a blowout for the Chiefs but I'm going to back against my own side on the spread. I think the Steelers could trouble the Chiefs mainly with RB Najee Harris - they struggled badly against the Bronco's Melvin Gordon last week and look vulnerable to the rush offense. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger hasn't torn up any trees this season, but has been fairly clutch in recent weeks in two must win games. I think the Chiefs will win fairly comfortably here but am taking the Steelers to cover the spread.

Arizona Cardinals at Los Angeles Rams - Rams ML

This NFL West Divisional match up looks a stonker. The two league games between the two went for a combined 110 points and this one should be easy on the eye. Both sides are fresh off a loss and their defences were traumatised in week 18. I'm going to side with the Rams, because while the Cards may have the best QB in Kyler Murray over Matt Stafford, The Rams have the better coach in Sean McVay and more game winners. Namely the new multiple record-holding WR Cooper Kupp and DT Aaron Donald. I have the Rams winning this one close, possibly by a solitary touchdown. 

Enjoy the football guys!
