The Next NFL Predictions Against The Spread

By Rebecca Ellis


With the second round of the NFL divisional playoffs just around the corner, speculations have dominated the mouths of fans. They have a lot of zeal and anxiety in light of what they expect will prevail during the contestations. It is fun to speculate and remain optimistic for best outcomes of the spreads of the weekends Divisional games. My view on the NFL predictions against the spread is discussed below.

First, there is the hot contest between Kansas City Chiefs and New Englands Patriots. This is hopefully going to be an entertaining game to the fans, but difficult to the players. The Chiefs are at a disadvantage of having injured key players. For instance Rob Gronkowski will reportedly miss in that game, on medical grounds. The Patriots will also have to bear having to play without the crucial roles of Jeremy Maclin, who is an offensive player. This is because the player has merely practiced in the recent past, and not even once for the past one week. My judgment on this one is the Chiefs will struggle to keep up with the tough game within a goal.

Another entertaining encounter scheduled for the weekend is Green Bay Packers who will face it off against Arizona Cardinals. My opinion is that regardless of the fact that the Packers came from behind to force a win against the Washington of a humbling seventeen points, they are not as up to task as this win would try to insinuate.

The Cardinals, on their side, are coming off rejuvenated after a week-long rest, and it should be remembered that they hammered the Packers a thunderous 38-8, just a couple of weeks ago. On this game, my presumption is that the Arizona Cardinals will scoop a comfortable win against the Green Bay Packers.

Another hot encounter is whereby the Seattle Seahawks will be off visiting the Carolina Panthers. Many analysts have maintained that the Seattle have had lots of trouble trying to remain in the contest, and have struggled their way to the playoffs. This makes many assume that the Panthers will definitely humble their contestants, but I beg to differ. I hold that the reverse will actually happen.

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.

Pittsburgh Steelers will be interacting with Denver Broncos. The Steelers have struggled their way to the playoffs, and will be without the vital services of Antonio Brown, their best receiver, and DeAngelo Williams, their leading rusher.

They will also be lacking Ben Roethlisberger. Things, in my view, will take a different turn this time, contrary to the previous encounter whereby Pittsburgh Steelers beat Denver Broncos. My expectation on this game is that the Denver Broncos will outweigh the Steelers.
