NFL Predictions: Week 8

Oakland Raiders versus Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills enter the game 3-0 at home and 4-2 overall this season. Oakland comes into play coming off a win and are 3-4 on the season. The Raiders won the meeting between the two teams last December as a home favorite. A 2.5 point home favorite, the Bills are at -3.91 and average on the Team Strength Oscillator, while the Raiders are slightly higher at -3.09. The teams are even in terms of the Power Ranking Indicator. Given the Bills record at home and favorite status, I lean towards the Bills in a  ... 

CASH CHAMPIONSHIP – NFL KING 2017 – ROUND 2 RECAP

Fantastic profit made Hjay(hagop***) who has perfectly detected underdog win and his Steelers delivered big time. It was best result in round 2 so Hjay(hagop***) takes MVP title. Of course the same applies to Robert(robert_tucci) who also made a call on Steelers which means that together with Hjay(hagop***) they squeezed this round to the maximum. Congratulations!

NFL Predictions: Week 7

Carolina Panthers versus Chicago Bears

The Panthers are coming off a home loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and sit at 4-2 for the season. They are a 3.5 point road favorite versus the 2-4 Chicago Bears. Carolina won the last meeting between the teams in 2014 as the favorite. The Panthers hold a decided +29 to +3 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. What’s worse for the Bears is they are -9.4 and “dead” status on the Team Strength Oscillator. Look for the Panthers to get back on track and cover the spread.

NFL Predictions: Week 6

Miami Dolphins versus Atlanta Falcons

The Falcons come in at 3-1 and a huge 11-point favorite over the 2-2 Dolphins. The last meeting between the teams was in 2013 when the Dolphins won as a home favorite. This game looks overwhelmingly in favor of Atlanta. They hold a +31 to +6 advantage on the Power Ranking Indicator. Similarly, the Falcons are “burning hot” on the Team Strength Oscillator compared to “ice cold down” for the Dolphins. Miami could cover if they play an excellent game, but look for the Falcons to win at home and improve to 4-1 on the  ... 

NFL Predictions Week 4

New Orleans Saints versus Miami Dolphins

The Saints come in at 1-2, while the Dolphins are off to a 2-1 start. Despite having a worse record and playing on the road, the Saints are a 1.5 point favorite. In the last meeting between these teams in 2013, the Saints won as a home favorite. The Dolphins hold a +2.88 to -1.97 in the NFL Team Strength Oscillator and a +22 to +5 edge in the Power Ranking Indicator. Despite the underdog status, the oscillators have me leaning towards the Dolphins, which is my pick to win outright.

Tennessee Titans versus  ... 

Are the New England Patriots still Super Bowl favorites?

Week 1 wasn’t supposed to end like it did for the New England Patriots. Hammered by the Kansas City Chiefs at home, 42-27, the Patriots’ dream of a perfect season went up in flames before it could even start.

New England was projected to win all 16 of its regular season games, and now that the team has lost, it seems like many are already giving up on the Pats. Week 1 saw Tom Brady and company greatly under perform, but the Patriots did play the AFC West’s winners from 2016. So, expecting the Chiefs to rollover was a  ... 

Football predictions week 2

Cleveland Browns versus Baltimore Ravens

The Browns (0-1) head to Baltimore to take on the Ravens (1-0) in this AFC North division match up. The Power Ranking Indicator has the Browns at +31 while the Ravens are at +28 and slightly declining after a recent strong upward surge. The NFL Team Strength Oscillator shows a good indication of the team’s current trend. The Browns are at -21.17 while the Ravens are at +4.88 at rapidly on the ascent. In head to head match ups last season, the Ravens won both meetings as the favorites. A big 7.5 point favorite this  ... 

NFL Predictions Week 1

The first week of the NFL season is always the most difficult to predict, as little is seen of starting teams during the preseason. There are methods to use, however, including point spreads, overall team trends, head-to-head match up, previous season’s performance and so on. Utilizing the Power Ranking Indicator, Team Strength Oscillator, Head-to-Head records from last season, among others, here is my breakdown for six games this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Houston Texans

Jacksonville finished 3-13 last season, while Houston finished on top of the division at 9-7. The Texans come in as a 5.5 point favorite and won  ... 

NFL MVP Futures: Tom Brady is the early favorite

The NFL preseason kicks off tonight with the Dallas Cowboys clashing with the Arizona Cardinals. It feels like a long time since Super Bowl 51 ended and the start of the 2017 preseason, but it has finally arrived. With it comes optimism for 32 teams vying for a Super Bowl ring. Only two will be good enough to play in the biggest NFL game of them all, however.

In our last NFL article, we looked at the futures for Super Bowl 52. Now we will look at the futures for NFL Most Valuable Player. Last year’s winner,  ...
