Captain Ferdinand’s NFL Pick ‘Em: Week 17

Written By Captain Ferdinand

These picks are my own personal opinion and in no way reflect legitimate gambling advice.

Folks! How we doing it’s good to see you and it’s good to be seen. Welcome to my inaugural post on the site. This week is an unusual board in my opinion but nonetheless let’s rattle off my picks and predictions:

ATL @ BUF (-14.5) •Im keeping this one simple and it might just be a biased pick on my part. The bills do well at home versus teams they SHOULD beat. So based on this theory I’m taking the bills to cover against the falcons.

JAX (+16.5) @ NE •This is a huge spread and it kind of scares me. I don’t have the most faith in Mac Jones to go off however I think the NE defense will tear apart the jags inconsistent offense. However something is just telling me to rock with them. DUVALLLLLL !

KC (-4) @ CIN • I’m rocking with the chiefs in this one, I think they’re just getting hot at the right time this season. Despite the bengals coming off a monster week I think the chiefs cover.

LAR (-6.5) @ BAL • I think Baltimore is just a banged up team and I don’t trust it, going with DA RAMS.

LV @ IND (-8.5) • I’m taking the chalk here and going with the colts. If they can establish the run game early, this game will be over before it even begins.

MIA (+3) @ TEN • STICK WITH THE HOT HAND. The Dolphins are the feel good story of the year so far. I’ve really liked what I’ve seen recently and I’m gonna stick with them to cover based on the fact that this is essentially a must win for them.

NYG @ CHI (-6.5) • Now this one is a doozy! Both teams are just a big question mark in my opinion but I’m leaning bears on this.

PHI (-4.5) @ WFT • I’m a huge advocate for Jalen Hurts, I think he’s gonna have a DAY. Watch out for Goedert to snag a couple Tuddies. I think the Eagles cover easily here.

TB (-13.5) @ NYJ • Buccaneers -13.5 I don’t care who’s out or who’s injured.

DEN @ LAC (-8) • I used to think Teddy covers but all year long he has proved me wrong and I just can’t bring myself to pick the Broncos. I’m going chargers -8!

HOU @ SF (-12.5) • I’m really impressed with what Jimmy G and the 49ers have been doing recently. Against arguably the worst team in the league I think they have a field day.

ARI (+7) @ DAL • This might end up being the game of the week or it could be a blow out who knows. My gut is telling me cards.

CAR @ NO (-7) • I don’t like either of these teams so I guess I’ll just take the favorite.

DET (+7.5) @ SEA • This is another one of those games I think you could just flip a coin. I’m gonna go lions +7.5

MIN(+13) @ GB • I have no clue why but my Captain intuition is telling me Vikings. GO SKOL

CLE @ PIT (+3.5) • Despite their record I think the Steelers are the better team I’m taking them plus points here.

Good luck and remember, THIS TRAIN NEVER STOPS!
