“Bear Bets” are real wagers that Chris “The Bear” Fallica is actually making.
For those new to this space, if you are looking for some wagers to get in on the NFL action, I have you covered. Nothing makes football better than having a few bucks on the games.
Last week, we finished 2-2. Let’s gain some momentum going into Week 17.
Here are my best bets for this week’s slate, plus my pick for the College Football Playoff Sugar Bowl semifinal matchup.
(All times ET)
Last Week: 2-2 (Season: 32-24-3)
New Orleans Saints @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1 p.m. Dec. 31, FOX and FOX Sports app)
Give Tampa credit. The Buccaneers were sitting there at 4-7, then put together a four-game winning streak. Last week, they blew out the Jaguars, who I kinda thought were overrated all year long. Now, the Buccaneers are sitting at 8-7 and clearly have the division within their sight.
New Orleans Saints
NO
+2.5
+120
o42.5
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
TB
-2.5
-143
u42.5
However, I think this week will be a difficult game for them. The Saints are coming off a game where they were not competitive and are in a last-stand situation. And what’s the gap between these two teams? I don’t think much. I would expect the New Orleans defense to come out and play well and give Baker Mayfield and that offense a problem.
It won’t be as easy for the Bucs, so I’ll take the nice, ugly underdog in the Saints.
PICK: Saints (+3) to lose by fewer than 3 points (or win outright)
Las Vegas Raiders @ Indianapolis Colts (1 p.m. Dec. 31, CBS)
The Colts were dreadful last week in their loss to the Falcons. But now they return home against a Raiders team off of the high of the upset win in Kansas City — but that was more about bad…
