It’s that time of year again where bettors try to outlast each other in possibly the greatest NFL event. Welcome to the 2019 NFL Survivor Pool Picks. NFL Week 17 is upon the betting community which means it is crunch time to win as many NFL Picks to stay alive.
Cleveland Browns vs. Cincinnati Bengals
The Cleveland Browns are not going to be making the playoffs this season and that makes it an entire decade without post-season play. It has been a long 10 years for this Browns franchise and it might be getting worse soon as everyone witnessed Odell and head coach Freddie Kitchens getting into it on the sideline in the blowout loss against the Ravens. Now they finish off their lackluster season on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals where it could be Andy Dalton’s last game in the jungle. The Bengals have already secured the No.1 spot in next year’s NFL draft, so they will be pulling out all the stops in Week 17 to secure a win and finish off the Browns for good. The Bengals may have less talent, but they are getting a good amount of points in this game against a team that has simply given up. This is a game where the odds might lay with the home team here. Are you jumping off the Browns train?
New York Jets vs. Buffalo Bills
AFC East showdown here as the Buffalo Bills host the New York Jets in the final week of the season. Buffalo has already clinched a playoff spot, and although Sean McDermott has said they’re planning to play a majority of their starters, it doesn’t sound like they are taking this game too seriously. Everybody has been clowning the Jets but they’ve quietly been playing a lot better recently, and they are actually 5-2 in their last seven games. Buffalo’s weakness has often been their run defense this season, so maybe Le’Veon Bell will finally be able to get going here. Outside of understandably collapsing against the Ravens, the Jets’ defense has been playing at an elite level over the past month or so, giving up 10 points or fewer in three of their past five games. The Bills are coming off a tough loss to the Patriots in which they blew a late lead, so I don’t think they will be particularly fired up for this one.
Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Two NFC South teams that have been surprisingly strong recently will face off here as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers host the Atlanta Falcons. Tampa Bay had been hot with five wins in six tries, but their momentum came screeching to a halt with a loss to the Texans last week. Jameis Winston had started to play really well, but I think it’s clear that he won’t continue now that he has lost each of his top two receivers. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are both out with injuries, meaning Winston no longer has elite talent to throw to. He reverted back to his old ways this past weekend, tossing four interceptions against Houston. On the other side, Atlanta’s defense has been getting a lot better in recent weeks, and the Falcons have now gone 5-2 in their last seven games after a horrible start. They’re fighting hard to save Dan Quinn’s job, and I think they pick up another win here.
NFL Survivor Pool Picks: Week 17 Selection
In Week 16, I’m rolling with the ATL Falcons. They are actually one of my favorite NFL picks as well as this is the perfect time to ride high with the Falcons as the Bucs have looked horrible with the amount of Winstons INTs.
If someone told me I could not select the Falcons I would be choosing the Jets, as they still have the firepower to pull out a tough win on the road against a Bills team.
