Sunday was a nice way to end the regular season, going 6 wins and 3 losses — for a profit of $2,010. The three losses came by a combined 5 points, so it could have been a monster day. I’ll still take it.
Futures bets also performed well, going 6 wins and 3 losses, for a nice win totaling $2,985 for the season. Two of the losers lost by a half game. Like I said, I’ll take it.
Best Bets went a combined 3-1 last week (for all wagers), which now puts that category into the black for the first time this season.
After a lackluster first half of the season, the profits are now rolling in. Total results (all documented here) shows a 106 percent return on investment for the season — which is turning into a monster year. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Now, it’s on to the playoffs. I’m posting early because I expect these lines will move (see plays below).

THIS WEEK’S PLAYS: Will Be Updated Later With More Possible Plays
San Francisco -2.5 (-115) at Green Bay — $805 to win $700
49ers are far superior in every phase, except at QB where they are at a huge disadvantage. 49ers game plan is to play solid defense, run the ball, and let the best crew of WRs in the NFL catch Kaepernick’s wobbly balls and make yardage. The formula works. Green Bay’s defense is awful. I can’t see the Packers matching up well here and will gladly lay the points.
Kansas City +3 (-120) at Indianapolis — $880 to win $800
Colts record is deceptive, but they have managed to beat some good teams (SEA, DEN, SFO). The difference is Chiefs running game. I expect them to control the line of scrimmage and win outright.
Philadelphia -2.5 (-125) vs New Orleans — $750 to win $600
How can you not fade the Saints outdoors? Hurts to bet against New Orleans, but that’s clearly the right side based on what we’ve seen. Need to snap this up because I’m sure this moves to -3, if not higher by game time.
Cincinnati -7 vs. San Diego — $1,100 to win $1,000 <<<BEST BET>>>
Chargers should have lost the game last week to Kansas City practice squad. Everyone was on bench for Chiefs, but they still somehow almost won outright as double digit dog on the road, and would have knocked San Diego out of playoffs were it not for a missed field goal. Chargers are the NFL’s softest team, and should have a handful against a team that’s perfect at home and scoring a ton of points every week. Huge game for Bengals who I expect will roll up the score and cover easily.
LAST WEEK’S RESULTS (INCLUDES NFL REGULAR SEASON-WINS FUTURES): 6 wins and 3 losses in Week 17 (+2,010), and 6 wins and 3 losses in Futures Bets (+2,985).
