The NFC

Arizona Cardinals (Yes +1,200, No -2,000)

Arizona is a game behind the Vikings, but they have a couple of easy home games to finish out the season when they play host to the Falcons and the Rams.  This weekend's game is key when the Cards head to New Orleans to battle the Saints.  The loser is all but eliminated and our early hunch is to take the Cards.  This is a pretty good Yes bet for the NFC side. 

Minnesota Vikings (Yes -600, No +400)

Minnesota has become a heavy favorite to make the post-season as they are heavy chalk to the Bears on Monday, play host to another contender in the Washington Redskins and then head to Denver.  With Denver all but eliminated you have to think going 2-1 over the final three shouldn't be that difficult, but the price is too heavy for us to lay it.

New Orleans Saints (Yes +350, No -500)

I love the No bet on the Saints simply because we feel like Arizona is going to upset them this weekend, then they have a home contest against the Eagles and head to the Bears to play in a cold weather game to end the season.  We don't see them getting to the 9-7 mark they would need to make it.

New York Giants (Yes -10,000, No +2,500)

A win as a 4.5 point favorite against the Redskins not only clinches them a playoff berth, but would take the wind out of Washington's sails and more than likely open things up for the Vikings.  New York needs this win before heady to the Bills and Pats in the last two weeks.  Want a long shot?  Take the No here for a huge payout if they finish 0-3. 

The AFC

Buffalo Bills (Yes +600, No -1,000)

The Bills stand at 7-6 but have a tough game against the Browns this weekend in which they are 5.5 point underdogs.  If they can manage an upset, the final two games the team should be favored, so you might want to look at the Yes for Buffalo.

Cleveland Browns (Yes -400, No +300)

If you are a Browns fan then you should get excited as we think this team is going to make the post-season.  They should beat the Bills this weekend then they have a pair of winnable games against the Bengals and 49ers.  This team could end up at 11-5 or at least 10-6 and most teams should be wary of facing them right now. 

Jacksonville Jaguars (Yes -20,000, No +5,000)

We are calling the Jags all but a shoe-in here, but the odds aren't even worth considering since they are so steep.  The long shot no might be worth a look at that price with a tough game in Pitt followed by an easy game against the Raiders and another tough win at Houston.

Tennessee Titans (Yes +600, No -1,000)

The Titans could also easily go 3-0 to end the season and make the playoffs.  This team went into a little slump and was all but left for dead, but by winning in Kansas City, beating the 3-10 Jets at home, and having the Colts in a game where most starters should be resting could sneak the Titans into the playoffs.  Look at the Yes bet here.
