Betting the NFL Playoffs 2016: The Championship Games

Here is Z-Code’s guide to betting the last weekend of football until the Superbowl.

Green Bay Packers at Atlanta Falcons

The Green Bay Packers continued their string of on-the-road and underdog victories last weekend by upsetting the Cowboys in Dallas. Most of the country saw that as a surprise but if you followed this blog then you would have made money on that game. Tomorrow the Packers face off in Atlanta against the Falcons and here’s why we see this as the end of the road for the Packers. First, Dallas was probably the better team but lack of experience lead to thier loss. The Falcons have been here before. It is a team full of veterans and we don’t expect them to falter under the pressure. Furthermore, Green Bay is currently playing with a wide receiver at cornerback and a wide receiver at running back. Expect Julio Jones to have little trouble shredding this secondary and even if they manage to bottle him up, Matt Ryan has 12 other options to throw to. The Falcons defense is better than the Cowboys and Dann Quinn will shut down the run which will help them control Aaron Rodgers. Jordy Nelson might have been about to dismantle this defense, but I don’t see DeVante Adams doing it. The Falcons have the better defense and with the number 1 offense in football, they can keep up if it leads to a shootout.

Falcons -5

Pittsburgh Steelers at New England Patriots

The Steelers are a solid team and, to be honest, I would LOVE to see them upset the Patriots here. I just don’t thiink that is going to happen. During their one regular season meeting, the Patriots waltzed into PIttsburgh and beat them by 11 in their home stadium. Granted, that was against Landry Jones. Here the Steelers are as healthy as they’ve ever been and ready to give the Patriots a real game. However, the Steelers are notorious for being a much worse team on the road than they are at home. We expect the Patriots to continue to steamroll here as they have been doing all season.

Patriots -6
