1/21 VIP Picks
Good morning and happy Championship Sunday.
NFL:
Jaguars @ Patriots (-7.5) – This line has been moving around all week with the Brady news and uncertainty of how serious it is/was. All I know is there is A LOT of money on the Jags today. 57% of the money is on the Jags to cover. That’s exactly what Vegas wanted and needed for this game. This Jags team got swept this season by the same team that the Patriots ran off the field last week. This defense was torched by Jimmy G in week 15 and last week by the Steelers. If the Steelers had won that game, the talk would have been about how the defense wasn’t as good as people thought. Brady is going to play today and Brady is going to light up this Jags defense. Belichick has always taken away the opponents top threat. You can expect the Pats to focus on shutting down Fournette and forcing Blake Bortles to throw. That’s bad news for the Jags and I don’t think that they will keep up with the Pats.
Picks:
Patriots teased to (-1.5)
Patriots (-7.5)
Over teased to (39.5)
Vikings (-3) @ Eagles – The Vikings are coming off of one of the most dramatic finishes in recent memory and the Eagles are coming off of an ugly win against the Falcons. I think this game will be a defensive battle but I trust the Vikings offense against the Eagles D more than I trust the Eagles offense against the Vikings D. I’m expecting this one to be a low scoring game and I think the Vikings will come out on top and legit host the Super Bowl.
Picks:
Vikings (-3)
Vikings teased (+3)
Under teased to (44.5)
Vikings / Pats moneylines parlay – (+114)
