SUNDAY WILDCARD WEEKEND - Hedgie goes 2-1 and extends NFL streak to 11-3-1...

 




4:30pm   

Packers +7.5  (-120)  3 STARS


The Cowboys have been outstandinbg at home averagngf 35 points per game. However,  they are laying more than a full TD and the syrging Packers are coming to town. The Packers have won 3 sraight . Jordon Love has played very well lately posting a 9 TD - 0 int ratio the past 4 games. This is no coincidence as Aaron Jones is now fully healthy.  Hedgie believe Jones is the key to this game. Jones has rushed for 358 yards the last 3 games which leads all RBs.   Jones rushed for 127 yards against Carolina, 120 against Minnesota , and 111 against Chicago.  He's clearly fully recovered from his knee injury and his opens up the play action pass for Love.  

  The Cowboys have great offensive weapons but also give up chunk yards.  Hedgie sees HC Lafleur outcoaching Mccarthy in this one as well.   The Packers can win this game outright so if you believe that you can also grab almost 3/1 on the moneyline.  



Also,  OVER 50.5  1 STAR


  Prediction:  Cowboys 30 Packers 27 






8:15pm 

RAMS +3.5 (-120)  2 STARS


The Rams were able to rest last week while the Lions played their starters and lost a key player in TE LaPorta.   Coach McVay has the the playoff experience and knows QB Goff as well as anyone.  The Rams will have a good gameplan and should win this game.  


UNDER 52 1  STAR

    With Lions LaPorta out and the Rams having a good scheme against Goff The Hedgie sees the Lions leaning on the run more than usual.  The total is creeping higher from 50 to 52 and Hedgie sees this differently than most .
