Odds as of Monday 12/26
Giants -3 (-110) vs. Colts
There’s a chance the Giants close north of three-point home favorites if the Colts underwhelm on Monday Night Football, and we’re going to attempt to get ahead of the market here. We’re not expecting the Colts’ offense to hum with Nick Foles under center, and the Giants’ pass defense has done its best the past two weeks, sporting the ninth-lowest EPA/drop-back. Another well-rounded performance from the Giants’ defense can result in the G-Men notching a four-plus point home victory.
Jaguars -3.5 (-110) @ Texans
Considering how well the Jaguars are playing, it’s a bit surprising to see them as only four-point road favorites in Houston. While the Jaguars aren’t in the same class as the Eagles and Chiefs, both Philadelphia and Kansas City closed as double-digit road favorites in Houston this season, and we feel Jacksonville should be priced closer to six-point road favorites. The Jaguars did post their worst performance of the season in a 13-6 home loss to the Texans in Week 5, but their defense wasn’t the issue. Trevor Lawrence tossed two costly interceptions, but he’s done a tremendous job of taking care of the football over the past seven outings, flashing an elite 14:1 TD-to-INT rate. Back the AFC South-leading Jaguars to continue their hot play with a comfortable road win in Houston.
Packers -3 (-115) vs. Vikings
The Vikings miraculous season continued with a game-winning 61-yard field goal as time expired in Week 16, and they’ve now gone a ridiculous 11-0 in one-score games. The betting market has correctly pegged them as road underdogs in Green Bay this week, and we’ll gladly fade them in the Frozen Tundra. Since Week 10, Minnesota’s defense is allowing the sixth-highest drop-back success rate (49.1 percent) which spells trouble against a Packers offense starting to find its groove at the most crucial time.
