by Mike Allen - 3/11/2024
The 2023 NFL regular season was a roller coaster for the Las Vegas Raiders, to say the least. Even though the quarterback position for this franchise has long been a struggle, their head coaching situation hurt them more than anything this past season. They have fixed that problem, at least for the short term. The Raiders played hard all season. They really did. Somehow, though, they found another gear once they got rid of Josh McDaniels.

There are just 4 teams remaining, all vying for a ticket to Vegas to compete for the Lombardi Trophy on February 11. So far this season, we’ve gone a respectable 28-26-3 ATS.

Kansas City Chiefs Predictions for Playoffs and Best Bets with Super Bowl Odds
by Spencer Toth - 1/19/2024
The defending Super Bowl Champions are once again in the running for a third Super Bowl in the Patrick Mahomes era, but this isn’t the same Chiefs team we have gotten used to seeing over the last several years. The Kansas City defense has been doing a bulk of the heavy lifting for the Chiefs, and a dominant defense with an electric quarterback is a proven winning formula. The Chiefs took down the Dolphins in the Wild Card round, holding the most dominant offense in the league to just 7 points and 264 total yards.

by Spencer Toth - 1/19/2024
The Buffalo Bills have once again found themselves near the top of the Super Bowl betting odds. Will this be the season they can finally take that next step and play in the big game? The Bills have a solid team on both sides of the ball and won their last 5 regular season games to clinch the AFC East. Josh Allen has been playing responsible football, and the Bills will be confident this can be the year they finally make, and even win, the Super Bowl. Buffalo made quick work of the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round, building a 21-0 lead and cruising the rest of the way, but the matchups will not be any easier than that for the rest of the postseason.
Detroit Lions Predictions for Playoffs and Best Bets with Super Bowl Odds
by Spencer Toth - 1/18/2024
It has finally happened. The Detroit Lions won a playoff game for the first time since 1992, narrowly edging the LA Rams 24-23 on Sunday Night. Detroit finished off last season by winning 8 of their final 9 games. And while there was optimism in Detroit heading into this season, a 12-5 regular season record with their first playoff win in 32 years is already an extremely successful season. Jared Goff and Amon-Ra St. Brown connected for 110 yards in the Wild Card Round, and the upstart Lions team is eager to take their success a step further.
