NFL Week 5 Betting Picks

by WagerHome Blog on October 4, 2022

We saw rookie quarterbacks play for the first time in NFL Week 4, with Bailey Zappe of the Patriots getting the first rookie touchdown pass of 2022. Kenny Pickett is now the starting quarterback in Pittsburgh, putting an end to the three-game era of Mitchell Trubisky.

We still have one unbeaten, the Eagles, but our 0-3 team, the Raiders, got its first win of the NFL season. The Chiefs reinserted themselves into the Super Bowl favorites conversation, and the 49ers did, too, with a dominant defensive performance against the Rams.

More on the Niners and Rams in our best picks for this coming NFL weekend.

New York Giants (+8) vs. Green Bay Packers

We start in London, where the Green Bay Packers are playing for the first time. They are the final of the NFL’s 32 teams to make the trip to England, and for the first time in the history of the London series, we have two winning teams playing each other.

The Giants are playing good defense, and Saquon Barkley is playing like a rushing champion, and the Packers don’t look like a team ready to win a blowout. New York keeps it close, meaning you should take the points.

Pittsburgh Steelers (+14) at Buffalo Bills

The Bills are much better offensively than the Steelers, and they are much better defensively. But the Bills aren’t playing their best football right now, and if rookie Kenny Pickett can protect the football, the Steelers should keep this margin at less than two touchdowns.

Buffalo is banged up, and the offense is out of sequence at the moment; and this is a huge spread for a team that has averaged just 21 points per game the last two weeks. Buffalo wins, but your money should go on Pittsburgh to cover.

San Francisco 49ers (-6) at Carolina Panthers

If there is a team that deserves a 14-point spread, it’s the Niners over the Panthers.

San Francisco’s defensive line just dominated a much better offense in the Rams, and they will have a field day against Baker Mayfield. Carolina, despite having great skill players, may not score in this game. The Niners’ defense is playing that well.

NFL

Add in Deebo Samuel at the height of his powers, and the Niners giving six points feels like a no-brainer.

Dallas Cowboys (+4) at Los Angeles Rams

That Rams offensive line that was just dominated by the 49ers now has to play Micah Parsons and the Dallas defense. Sean McVay is one of the best offensive schemers in the business, but he will not have an answer for Parsons, Demarcus Lawrence, Dante Fowler, and Dorance Armstrong.

If the Rams manage to win this NFL game, it will be a low-scoring win by a field goal. Take the Cowboys and the points.

Hall of Fame Game Betting Preview: Dallas Cowboys at Pittsburgh Steelers

by WagerHome Blog on August 3, 2021

There was plenty of football news over the last half-year, but people are actually going to hit each other on Thursday night, and that is very exciting. It’s also a glimpse into a possibly normal season this year (fingers crossed) as all of the preseason, including the Hall of Fame Game, was canceled in 2020.

Our six long months of having no football is over.

Pittsburgh Steelers (-1.5) vs. Dallas Cowboys

It’s one of the most classic matchups in the NFL, making it extra fitting for the Hall of Fame Game in Canton, Ohio, where 19 Cowboys and 24 Steelers are currently enshrined. Each team will be adding a player to the tally when the 2021 class is enshrined on Sunday. Wide receiver Drew Pearson is in for the Dallas Cowboys, and guard Alan Faneca goes in for Pittsburgh.

As for the game on the field, the much-anticipated return of Dak Prescott will have to wait. He’s had a shoulder setback in training camp, and he will not play on Thursday. That means that Garrett Gilbert will likely start, and he’s backed up by Ben DiNucci and Cooper Rush. We also aren’t going to see Amari Cooper on a football field for at least two more weeks.

The biggest task for the Pittsburgh Steelers is figuring out their offensive line. Ben Roethlisberger won’t play, but Pittsburgh is probably going to ride with their first-string offensive line for a number of series. With so many new faces on the line, they need to develop chemistry.

Gone are offensive line mainstays David DeCastro, Ramon Foster, Maurkice Pouncey, Marcus Gilbert, and Alejandro Villanueva. In are Trae Turner, Chukwuma Okorafor, Kendrick Green, Kevin Dotson, and Zach Banner.

Our six long months of having no football is over, as the NFL’s Hall of Fame Game features the Dallas Cowboys against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Betting Picks – Steelers (-1.5), Over 33

Never invest a lot of money in a preseason game because anything can happen. But it’s the first game back, and we’re all itching to make an NFL bet.

The Steelers will probably give rookie running back Najee Harris a decent amount of work, and he should have a good game. Pittsburgh also has a significantly better defense than Dallas, and that should give the Cowboys backup quarterbacks trouble. Go with the Steelers to cover.

It will be a low-scoring game, so 33 for a totals line isn’t crazy low. But with a limited time to make the team, someone will either make a big play late or make a big mistake that ends up sending the number over 33.

Pay Per Head Software

We’re just a month away from these same Dallas Cowboys going to Tampa Bay to kick off the NFL’s regular season. If you are an independent bookmaker dependent on a robust take from the NFL and college football, now is the time to partner with a top pay per head software provider like WagerHome.com.
