Through 12 weeks of NFL pro football play the playoff picture has started to take some form as we now have just 5 games remaining in the season for each team. As the pro football season begins to wind down a resource for coverage will be found at NFL Picks with coverage from a sports betting perspective of select games all the way up until the Super Bowl. In the AFC East the New England Patriots hold a firm grip of the division sitting at 7-3 on the season. The team has been very successful within the division with a 3-1 mark on the season. Both the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets sit at 5-6 records on the season and are still in the mix for a wildcard spot sitting just 1 game behind the 6-5 teams. Buffalo has a long road for a post-season spot at 4-7 on the season. The team is in a difficult spot in tie breaking formulas with a 2-6 record against the AFC this season. In the AFC North the Cincinnati Bengals hold a firm grip on the division at 8-3 this season. At http://nflpicks.tv we project the Cincinnati Bengals as divisions champions. But a season ending injury to wide receiver Chris Henry has impacted the offense. The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers are tied for the last wildcard spot at the moment with 6-5 records. The Ravens won the first meeting between these clubs at home in week 12 and still must face Pittsburgh on the road this season. Cleveland is hopelessly behind at 1-10 on the year. Over in the AFC South the Indianapolis Colts have been the first team to clinch a playoff spot sitting at a perfect 11-0 on the season. The team holds a 3 game lead with 5 games to play for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. Based on the first 12 weeks of the season NFL Picks would make the Colts a favorite to make the Super Bowl. Jacksonville is lodged in a three-way tie for the final wildcard spot at 6-5 on the season. The Jaguars are 5-2 against AFC opponents and holds the tiebreaker advantage with the rest of the 6-5 teams at this point. At this time http://nflpicks.tv would project the Pittsburgh Steelers to earn a playoff spot based on an easier schedule down the stretch. The Texans are a game behind for the last wildcard spot at 5-6. The Texans are finally in position to battle for a playoff spot as the season nears closure. The team has been involved in many close decisions this year. Tennessee Titans have won 5 straight games to get back into the playoff race at 5-6 this season. After a 0-2 start to the season the Titans have battled back to sit 1 game behind of a playoff spot. The Titans would have major issues in tiebreakers as they sit with a 3-6 record against AFC opponents. Out in the AFC West the San Diego Chargers are sitting with an 8-3 record on the season. They have enjoyed an easy 4 games beating both Kansas City and Oakland twice on the years and in week 13 travels to hapless Cleveland. Sitting in second place and currently holding the 1st wildcard playoff spot is the Denver Broncos at 7-4. At this time http://nflpicks.tv would project Denver making the playoffs this season. The Broncos currently hold a 5-3 record against the AFC so the Broncos cannot afford any more losses to AFC opponents. They could drop a game against an NFC team and not get hurt in the tie breaking formula. Both the Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders sit far behind at 3-8 on the season and are assured of a non-winning season. A good resource is NFL Picks for pro football selections tailored for the sports betting public.

Through the first six weeks of the NFC East race the New York Giants sit atop the division with a 5-1 record. NFL odds makers have the New York Giants currently at 10-3 odds to win the NFC Championship. Many handicappers who release NFL free picks are most apt to play the New York Giants as an underdog based on their 15-6 record against the spread record when getting points. As the lead handicapper for http://nflfreepicks.net you can follow the selections every week from the NFL. That makes the team the third favorite to make the Super Bowl from the NFC with the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings ahead of the Giants at this point of the season. The Giants suffered their first loss of the year dropping a 48-27 loss at New Orleans Saints. The New York Giants are now a full 2 games behind the Saints for the chase for best record in the NFC. The Philadelphia Eagles are in second place in the NFC East with a 3-2 record this season. The Eagles also suffered a loss on the season to the New Orleans Saints in week number 2 also giving up 48 points to the high flying team from the Bayou Country. The Eagles are coming off a very bad loss to the Oakland Raiders losing 13-9 in Oakland in week 6 as a 14-point favorite. The current odds reveal after week six with the Philadelphia Eagles 7-1 odds to make the Super Bowl at the moment. A strategy I have employed when playing on the Philadelphia Eagles at NFL free picks is to play on them in road situations getting points against NFC East division rivals. Sitting with the bye week and at 3-2 on the season after six weeks are the Dallas Cowboys. At http://nflfreepicks.net we have had selections on two Dallas Cowboys games this season. The Cowboys have losses thus far in the season to the NFC East leading New York Giants and the Denver Broncos. The Cowboys have wins over bad teams on the season with their three wins coming over the Kansas City Chiefs, Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After five games this season the Cowboys will have 5 of their remaining 11 games against NFC East opponents. Odds makers after week 6 have the Dallas Cowboys at a hefty 13-1 to make it to the Super Bowl from the NFC. The Washington Redskins are a struggling football team sitting in last place in the NFC East and a 2-4 record. The strategy I have employed through the years when selecting at http://nflfreepicks.net is to take the Redskins when an underdog and to play against them when a favorite. The Redskins still play good defense as evidenced by the first six weeks of the season. The team has been embarrassed in dropping a week 6 game in front of the home folks to the winless Kansas City Chiefs and on the road to at the time to the winless Detroit Lions. The Redskins are struggling to score points on offense and in their loss to Kansas City benched starting quarterback Jason Campbell in favor of veteran backup Tom Collins. NFL betting odds makers have set the Washington Redskins as a heavy long shot of making the Super Bowl from the NFC at current 50-1 betting odds. If you need some help with your handicapping this NFL season a good source for you to research would be the work performed at NFL free picks where you will find NFL selections with full analysis.
