Previewing Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round showdown between the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers, with betting odds, picks and bets.

Vikings at 49ers: Divisional Round preview, betting trends and notes

The total has hit the Over in five of Minnesota’s last six road games.
The total has hit the Over in seven of San Francisco’s last 10 games.
Minnesota is 7-3 against the spread in its last 10 games against NFC opponents.
Both teams have had their fair share of success. The Vikings have the seventh ranked scoring offense (25.5 points per game) and the sixth ranked scoring defense (19 PPG). Not to be outdone, the 49ers are second in scoring offense (29.9 PPG) and the eighth in scoring defense (19.4 PPG).
The 49ers are just 9-6-1 against the spread, including 3-4-1 at home.
The Vikings are 10-7 ATS, including 5-4 on the road.
The all-time record between the Vikings and 49ers is 23-23-1, but Minnesota has won six of the last eight.
Vikings at 49ers: Key injuries
Vikings: CB Mackensie Alexander (knee) is out and CB Mike Hughes was placed on IR last week. WR Stefon Diggs hasn’t practiced due to an illness, but is expected to play. S Jayron Kearse (toe/knee) and WR Adam Thielen (ankle) are questionable.
49ers: Everyone practiced Wednesday, but DEs Dee Ford (quadriceps/hamstring) and Kentavius Street (knee) and G Mike Person (neck) were limited.
Vikings at 49ers: Odds, betting lines and prediction
Minnesota (+260) has a prohibitive moneyline number and could have a legitimate shot at winning the game outright. San Francisco (-334) is giving up too much for a return. If you’re betting the moneyline, a small bet on the Vikings would be the play, but, if you’re betting the 49ers, a stronger bet would be to give up 3.5 points at -189.
The Vikings likely aren’t capable of blowing out the 49ers. A rested San Francisco team going up against a Minnesota squad that had a short week of practice after playing an overtime game on the road Sunday and flying back to Minnesota is a scenario fraught with the potential for a Niners blowout. But, Minnesota could be down by 14 late and score a meaningless touchdown to hit the number. Realistically, the Niners need to win by two scores. Take the VIKINGS +7 (-110).
The O/U is of 45.5 (Over +105, Under -129). This is a tough one because these are two of the best rush offenses and two of the better defenses. This game could – and likely will – include its share of punts with it being a field-position battle. Minnesota has allowed 23 or fewer points 13 times this season and San Francisco has a knack for protecting leads by shortening the game. Take the UNDER 45.5 (-129).

Previewing Sunday’s Wild Card Round matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets
The Minnesota Vikings (10-6) meet the New Orleans Saints (13-3) in the playoffs for the first time since the Minneapolis Miracle game in January 2018. This time, however, the Saints will have a distinct home-field advantage when the game kicks off at the Merecedes-Benz Superdome at 1:05 p.m. Sunday. We analyze the Vikings-Saints betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks, tips and best bets.
Vikings at Saints: Wild Card Round preview, betting trends and notes
Get some action on the games by betting at BetMGM. New customer offer: RISK-FREE First Bet (up to $500!) paid in free bets.
The Saints have gone 10-2 against the moneyline in their last 12 home games against opponents with winning records.
Minnesota played to the Over in each of its last five road games and six of its last eight games overall.
New Orleans hit the Over in five of its last seven games.
Both teams have winning records against the spread this season – New Orleans is 11-5 ATS (the best record in the league), while Minnesota is 9-7.
The Saints won their last three games by an average of 23 points.
Minnesota is 5-1 against the spread in its last six games played at the Superdome.
In his last five games against Minnesota, Saints QB Drew Brees has completed 129 of 175 passes (74%) for 1,410 yards with 12 touchdowns and three interceptions.
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has thrown for 1,005 yards with nine touchdowns and one interception in three career games against the Saints – including 359 yards and two TDs in his only game as a Viking.
Vikings at Saints: Key injuries
Vikings CB Mackensie Alexander (knee), CB Mike Hughes (neck) and LB Eric Kendricks (quadriceps) are headed toward questionable statuses. RBs Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) will play.
Saints CB Eli Apple (ankle) and FB Zach Line (knee) didn’t practice Thursday.
Vikings at Saints: Odds, betting lines and prediction
Because the teams appear to be headed in different directions, this is by far the worst moneyline bet of the Wild Card Round games. The Saints are a whopping -400. That is simply too big of a number to support given Minnesota likely would have been 11-5 if not for laying down in Week 17.
The only bet to make here is Minnesota (+310) because the price is too steep to bet the Saints, but we’ll PASS and look to the spread.
The Saints opened as 6.5-point favorites at a lot of sports books, but the line quickly jumped over 7 and currently sits at 7.5 points (Saints: -115, Vikings: -106). The NFL has waited for Cousins to have a signature game and, despite considerable personal success against the Saints, he has the stigma of not coming up big when needed. Brees is just the opposite. Take the SAINTS (-7.5, -115).
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Saints to win by at least 8 points returns a profit of $8.70.
Just as the point spread for this game is the highest of any Wild Card game, so is the projected total of 49.5 points (Over: -115, Under: -106). That’s a big number, but this has the potential to be a risk-taking, big-play producing game like their last playoff meeting two years ago. Scores get big in the Big Easy and this one likely will follow suit. Take the OVER 49.5 (-115).

Previewing Sunday’s Eagles at Giants NFL matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets
The Philadelphia Eagles (8-7) and the host New York Giants (4-11) will do battle at MetLife Stadium Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET (on FOX). We analyze the Eagles-Giants sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks and tips for the Week 17 matchup.
Eagles at Giants: Week 17 preview, betting trends and notes
Get some action on the game at BetMGM by placing a sports bet!
The Eagles can punch their ticket to the postseason with a victory in this battle, or a Cowboys loss against the Redskins, to wrap up the NFC East title.
The Eagles topped the Giants 23-17 in overtime on Monday Night Football Dec. 9, as QB Eli Manning and the G-Men nearly pulled the upset as 9.5-point underdogs while the under (45.5) cashed.
Philadelphia is 5-2 against the spread in the past seven games in the month of December, while going 4-1 ATS in their past five in Week 17.
New York has cashed in four of the past five games overall, and 7-3 ATS in the past 10 games in the month of December.
The G-Men are 1-4 ATS in the past five home games, and 0-5 ATS in the past five against teams with a winning overall record.
The over is 27-11 in the past 38 road games for Philly, while the under is 5-2 in their past seven overall.
The over has hit in six of the past eight for the Giants, including 5-2 in the past seven inside the division.
Eagles at Giants: Key injuries
Eagles: RB Jordan Howard (shoulder) is off the injury report and expected to serve as the third-string tailback. WR Nelson Agholor (knee) and TE Zach Ertz (ribs, back) are both out, while OT Lane Johnson (ankle) is questionable.
Giants: TE Rhett Ellison (concussion) landed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, ending his season.
Eagles at Giants: Odds, betting lines and prediction
The Eagles (-223) are in a winner-take-all scenario: take care of the Giants and they’re into the playoffs as NFC East champs. While that’s fully expected, you can’t risk more than double your return. So it’s a PASS on the moneyline.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the Eagles on the moneyline returns a $4.48 profit with a Philly victory.
The EAGLES (-4.5, -106) can be trusted, as they have everything to play for, while the Giants (+4.5, -115) are playing for nothing but pride. Philly is 9-3 ATS in the past 12 trips to MetLife Stadium, too, while the road team is 4-1 ATS in the past five in this series.
OVER 45.5 (-106) is the play in this one. The Giants defense has long since checked out, and was tuned up for 35 points last week by the lowly Redskins. The over has connected in seven straight meetings in New York, too, while going 6-2 in the past eight battles in this series overall.

Previewing Sunday’s Browns at Bengals NFL matchup, with NFL betting odds, picks and best bets
The Cleveland Browns (6-9) and host Cincinnati Bengals (1-14) will tangle at Paul Brown Stadium Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (on Fox). We analyze the Browns-Bengals sports betting odds and lines, with NFL betting picks and tips for the Week 17 matchup.
Browns at Bengals: Week 17 preview, betting trends and notes
Get some action on the game at BetMGM by placing a sports bet!
The Bengals wrapped up the No. 1 overall pick in 2020 NFL Draft with their overtime loss last week in Miami.
The Browns topped the Bengals 27-19 in Week 14, covering as 6.5-point favorites as the Over (43) connected.
The Browns are 0-5 against the spread in the past five road outings and 3-7-1 ATS in the past 11 games overall. They’re also 2-5-1 ATS in the past eight as a road favorite, and 1-4 ATS in the past five on the road against a team with a losing home record.
The Bengals are 1-4 ATS in the past five games overall, and 1-4 ATS in the past five inside the division. They’re also 1-5 ATS in the past six against teams with a losing record, and 1-6 ATS in the past seven at home.
The over has connected in four in a row for the Browns against losing teams.
The under is 12-3-1 for the Bengals in the past 16 as an underdog, and 10-4-2 in the past 16 vs. AFC.
Browns at Bengals: Key injuries
Browns: DE Olivier Vernon (knee), WR Odell Beckham Jr. (illness – expected to play) and TE Ricky Seals-Jones (illness) are all listed as questionable.
Bengals: CB William Jackson III (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 17.
Browns at Bengals: Odds, betting lines and prediction
The BENGALS (+125) can’t ruin their chances at the No. 1 overall pick with a win, and they showed last week in a hellacious comeback in Miami that they’re not throwing in the towel. The Browns (-154) have nothing to play for in this one and are primed for the taking.
New to sports betting? A $10 wager on the moneyline returns a $12.50 profit with a Bengals victory.
The BENGALS (+2.5, +105) are plus-money at home, and therefore a pretty nice value. The Browns (-2.5, -129) haven’t been terribly consistent this season, and they’re especially erratic on the road.
PASS. The 44.5 total is going to be close. If there was a lean, it would be to the under, which is actually 41-14-3 in the past 58 in December for Cleveland and 12-3-1 in Cincinnati’s past 16 as a ‘dog.

Our weekly NFL underdog betting staple continues into Week 17 where Ken Pomponio features three teams likely to upset their underdog odds.
We’ve reached the finish line of the 2019 NFL campaign, well, at least for the regular season.
Among the things we’ve learned is that it was quite the year to have a column devoted to underdogs. Through Week 16, NFL point spread dogs were 125-107-8 (.539) against the number, with road underdogs proving particularly profitable, covering at a .587 clip (84-69-6).
We’ve managed to do even better than that in this space with a 29-19 (.604) season mark against the spread after going 1-2 in Week 16. In suffering our first losing week since mid-November, we came up short with the Tennessee Titans and Cincinnati Bengals but easily covered with the 9.5-point road underdog Arizona Cardinals winning by two touchdowns (27-13) in Seattle.
Betting Week 17 is always extra tricky with playoff qualifiers resting starters and other long-since eliminated teams paying more attention to offseason vacation plans instead of their final-week game plans.
So that’s the minefield we must navigate as we select our final three underdogs of the 2019 regular season, utilizing the Friday lines from BetMGM.
Here goes …
Baltimore Ravens (+2.5) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

While the host Ravens (13-2) have already put the wraps on the AFC’s No. 1 playoff seed – the first in their history – this is a must-win for the visiting Steelers, who at 8-7 are battling for the conference’s sixth and final wild-card spot.
And, sure, the Ravens will be going with their back-up quarterback, Robert Griffin III, but keep in mind the Steelers will once again be starting their No. 3 QB in Devlin “Duck” Hodges. That hasn’t been pretty of late with Hodges throwing six interceptions and only one touchdown pass over his last two games – both Pittsburgh losses.
The Steelers are 0-5 against postseason qualifiers this season, including a 26-23 overtime home loss to Lamar Jackson and these Ravens in Week 5, and reserves or not Sunday, we’re banking on Baltimore to complete the season sweep in a defensive tussle.
Houston Texans (+4.5) vs. Tennessee Titans
Photo Credit: Kim Klement – USA TODAY Sports
The AFC South-champion Texans’ only shot at improving their playoff seeding is overtaking the Kansas City Chiefs for the AFC’s No. 3 slot, but the oddsmakers are clearly counting on a KC win earlier in the day against the visiting Los Angeles Chargers and then the disinterested Texans pulling back and playing out the string against the Titans.
That would be the only reason why Tennessee is a 4.5-point road favorite against the team that just won 24-21 in Nashville two weeks ago en route to its fourth AFC South title in the last five seasons.
The 8-7 Titans, of course, have much more to play for as they’re battling the aforementioned Steelers and Oakland Raiders for their playoff lives. But we’re not aware of any Houston plans to rest starters, and if all appears to be even, personnel-wise, we’ll go with the host Texans and their 6-2 record as an underdog this season to keep it close and get the cover.
Washington Redskins (+10.5) at Dallas Cowboys
Photo Credit: Brad Mills – USA TODAY Sports
Even after four losses in their last five games, the 7-8 Cowboys still can win the NFC East with a victory in this one and a loss by the 8-7 Philadelphia Eagles, who are playing at the same time against the New York Giants in New Jersey.
Unless the Cowboys and battered QB Dak Prescott get wind the Giants have jumped out to an early three-touchdown lead, they’re more likely to go through the motions in the finale of a lost season while playing for a coach who will be shown the door by Black Monday at the latest.
The 3-12 Redskins, meanwhile, saw coach Jay Gruden fired in early October but have continued to show some fight, covering in five of nine games since, including a 4-1 ATS mark as double-digit underdogs, as they are here.

Previewing Sunday’s Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings sports betting odds and lines, with Week 16 NFL betting picks, tips and bets.
The Chicago Bears (7-8) visit the playoff-bound Minnesota Vikings (10-5) Sunday with an 1 p.m. ET kickoff at U.S. Bank Stadium. We analyze the Bears-Vikings odds and sports betting lines, while providing betting tips and advice on this Week 17 NFL matchup.
Bears at Vikings: Week 17 preview, betting trends and notes
Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM!
The Bears eliminated the Vikings from the 2018 playoffs with 24-10 Week 17 victory at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Bears are 5-0 against the spread (ATS) in their five meetings with the Vikings.
Minnesota is 6-2-1 ATS in its last nine games against teams with losing records.
The Vikings and Bears have hit the Under in four of the last five meetings.
Chicago is 2-8 ATS in its last 10 games.
Minnesota is 6-1 against the moneyline in its last seven home games against Chicago, but the only loss was the last meeting.
Both teams are coming off inept, humbling losses – the Bears losing at home 26-3 to the Kansas City Chiefs, and the Vikings losing their first home game of the season 23-10 to the Green Bay Packers.
Bears at Vikings: Key injuries
Vikings: The injury report only shows one player as not practicing – Pro Bowl snub LB Eric Kendricks (quadriceps). RB’s Dalvin Cook (shoulder) and Alexander Mattison (ankle) have been limited and neither is expected to play. With Minnesota locked in as the No. 6 seed, several key veterans on both sides of the ball could be pulled early.
Bears: Four players didn’t practice Thursday – DL Akiem Hicks (elbow), NT Eddie Goldman (concussion), WR Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and OL Bobby Massie (ankle). Some of these guys may be making business decisions as to play a meaningless game.
Bears at Vikings: Odds, betting lines and prediction
For only giving away 1.5 points, Minnesota (-129) is a little stiff. Chicago is +105, so this one pretty much bets itself. If you think Chicago is going to beat Vikings QB Kirk Cousins a fourth consecutive game, take the Bears here instead of being given a paltry 1.5 points.
Every $1 wagered on the Bears ML would profit $1.05 if they win.
As mentioned above, the line is Vikings -1.5. Both teams are -110 because it is what is so perilous about putting bets down in Week 17. Minnesota has absolutely nothing to play for or risk Sunday. With the Vikings coming off a national humbling to the Packers and the Bears’ recent dominance of them, if the Vikes lay down in front of their home fans, it will have a negative backlash. If you think motivation of a veteran means anything, take the Vikings at a better price than the moneyline.
This is the most difficult bet of them all because 36.5 (Over -115, Under -106) is such a low number. But these teams tend to hit the Under. It won’t take much to hit the Over and these are teams with opportunistic defenses and special teams, but the Bears have dominated Cousins and, in the last three games against Minnesota, Chicago QB Mitch Trubisky has been knocked out of two of them. The sportsbooks are daring you to take the Over. Take the UNDER 36.5 (-106), but it will be close.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers end their season Sunday at home against the Atlanta Falcons, and are favored to come out as victors.
With a win Sunday in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would finish the season 8-8, something that seemed impossible just a month ago when they were 3-7.
The Buccaneers entered 2019 having gone 5-11 the past two seasons, and after that slow start, it seemed like another 5-11 season was in the books. But, this team has turned it around over the past month, winning four-straight games prior to Saturday’s loss to the Houston Texans.
In that game, Tampa Bay was without their top two receivers in Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, so quarterback Jameis Winston, who is nursing a fractured thumb, had to rely on a cast of inexperienced receivers. The results were what you’d expect as the Bucs quarterback threw four interceptions, including another pick-six.
Despite the loss, however, and absence of playmakers, the Bucs opened as -1.5 point favorites at home against the 6-9 Falcons. Tampa Bay kicked off their four-game winning-streak by beating Atlanta on the road back in Week 12.
While the Bucs have been a hard team to bet this year against the spread, I’d feel good about their chances in this game. Winston is going for history Sunday, and finishing 8-8 would do wonders for this team’s confidence heading into the offseason.
Atlanta, meanwhile, will have to deal with the potential firing of head coach Dan Quinn following Sunday’s game, so big changes could be ahead for this Falcons team. A win over the Bucs likely won’t affect Quinn’s future one way or the other, so I feel Tampa Bay has more to gain from this game.

Previewing Monday’s Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings sports betting odds and lines, with Week 16 NFL betting picks, tips and bets.
The Green Bay Packers (11-3) look to lock down the NFC North title when they travel to U.S. Bank Stadium to play the Minnesota Vikings (10-4) in a much-anticipated Monday Night Football tilt at 8:15 p.m. ET. We analyze the Packers-Vikings odds and sports betting lines, while providing betting tips and advice on this Week 16 NFL matchup.
Packers at Vikings: preview, betting trends and notes
Looking to place a bet on this game or others? Sign up at BetMGM!
The Packers are 9-5 against the spread (ATS) this season, but just 3-3 ATS in their last six games.
The Over has hit in five of the Vikings’ last six games.
Green Bay is 4-2 against the moneyline and 5-1 against the spread in its last six games as a road underdog.
In games where Minnesota has been favored between 3.5 and 4.5 points, the Vikings are 9-0 against the moneyline and 8-1 ATS – hitting the Over in 14 of 20 games in that scenario.
Vikings QB Kirk Cousins has a career record of 6-14-1 in 21 prime-time games.
The total has gone Under in eight of the last 10 meetings between the two NFC North rivals.

Vikings at Packers: Odds, betting lines and prediction
Minnesota is the only team in the league that is unbeaten at home this season (6-0) and has protected their home-field advantage extremely well, winning games by 16, 20, 18, 10, 6 and 13 points. That can explain why they have a big moneyline number (-239). The Packers are getting a good number (+190), and it’s rare for any 11-3 team to get that kind of love from the sportsbooks. We would lean toward the Vikings, but not by much given the return to go with Green Bay and the lack of it for Minnesota.
Minnesota has blown out the 3.5-point number all season and are the favorite despite giving up the points (-139). The money is going on Minnesota, which explains the spread, but if you’re willing to give Aaron Rodgers and the PACKERS +3.5 (+115) that many points, it’s hard to deny taking him. Go with the visitors.
New to sports betting? Every $1.15 wagered on the Packers moneyline will profit $1 if they don’t lose by 4 or more points or win outright.
The Vikings and Packers tend to play games close to the vest and work the clock with long drives that drain the clock. Both defenses have been strong in the red zone and forced teams to settle for field goals more often than touchdowns. The Over 46.5 (+100) is getting better odds than the under (-121), but this one has the smell of a tightly contested, conservative game plan for both offense, which lends itself to lower scores. Take the UNDER 46.5.
