What did we learn?

The Super Bowl chase is getting ready to head into the home stretch and we are starting to see those playoffs set up now. The New York teams who looked like playoff two weeks ago are now struggling and both look in danger of missing the playoffs. As we go down the closing stretch of the season it is important to have the best football odds for betting on the NFL and we got you covered their.

1) The Cowboys are Super Bowl contenders

The Cowboys took the Minnesota Vikings into the woodshed and commenced destroying the Vikings, and it was in Minnesota. The Cowboys defense was destructive, and the offense was explosive. Now, I know the Cowboys win one or two games like this every year and get everybody excited, and then the next week, they fall on their face. This team feels different to me. I do think the Cowboys are a legitimate Super Bowl contender this season.

2) The Giants will only win one or two more games this season

The Giants schedule is demanding, and on Sunday, we saw that the Giants would have issues with teams that can score points. The reason is simple the Giants have horrible receivers, and the defense can be had. Brian Daboll has done a fantastic job with this team, and the future is very bright in New York, but injuries are killing this teams chances this season.

3) The Ravens are not as good as their record would indicate

The Ravens are a good team, but they struggle no matter who they play. That was again the case last Sunday as they struggled with the lowly Carolina Panthers. The Ravens still lack weapons to help Lamar Jackson, and the injuries are starting to mount again in Baltimore.

4) Bailey Zappe should start for the Patriots

As Mac Jones continues to struggle, you have to wonder why Bill Belichick doesn’t go back to Bailey Zappe. The Patriots offense is horrid with Jones under center; Zappe brings a spark and energy every time he steps o the field.

5) T.J. Watt may be the best player in the NFL

T.J. Watt continued being the best player in the NFL on Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, as he had a spectacular interception. The Steelers came up short but for the rest of this season the Steelers will be a dangerous team as long as Watt stays healthy.

6) The 49ers are the team to beat in the NFC

I know the 49ers are just 6-4, but since the addition of Christian McCaffery the Niners have the weapons on offense to match the weapons they have on defense. This will all come down to how well Jimmy G. can play under center and if he plays well this might be the 49ers year. You need the top football betting strategies and the Grueling Truth will give you all of the best strategies for betting on the NFL.

7) The Commanders are a contender

After a dreadful 1-4 start the Commanders now sit at 6-5 and are in serious contention for a possible Wild Card spot. They have two games coming up with the Giants and you have to like their chances in those games. If they do sweep the Giants in those two games they will be in good position to make the playoffs.

8) Zach Wilson is costing the Jets a playoff berth

Wilson is probably the worst starting quarterback in the NFL, and it’s a shame because even with an average quarterback the Jets would be a playoff team. They can run the ball and play defense but Zach Wilson is killing this teams chances. It’s time for Joe Flacco or Mike White.

9) The Rams will finish last in the NFC West

The Rams are currently 3-7 and headed for last in the NFC West. Matthew Stafford has been terrible this season and his offensive line is in shambles. The Defense is not good enough to overcome the pathetic offense. The Rams could go down as the worst team to ever defend a Super Bowl Title.
