The Weekend NFL Predictions Against The Spread

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 Kansas City Chiefs will take on New Englands Patriots, in a tussle that many argue will be hot, and thus difficult to assume what will ensue. Both teams have had their fair share of ups and downs, and it is therefore utterly confusing to speculate victory to any of the parties. The Chiefs, on their side, are in serious crisis of having to coordinate themselves in the game, deficient of proficient and highly essential players like Rob Gronkowski, among others. The Patriots are also not left out in this entanglement, since they will be lacking the influential services of Jeremy Maclin, their best offensive player. The player has not been in practice exercises, and this has sparked confusion as to whether he will be in the starting line-up, or not.

Another game scheduled for the weekend is Green Bay Packers against Arizona Cardinals. In my opinion, the Packers are not a very strong team, though they came behind to beat the Washington by a whooping seventeen points, last week.

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.

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.

However, they are also faced with a regrettable blow of having to play without essential game changers like Antonio Brown and DeAngelo Williams. I presume that the Broncos will narrowly outweigh the Steelers.
