Weekend Six-Pack: NFL Super Wild Card Weekend betting guide

By Griffin Carroll | Last updated 1/11/24

We've made it to the NFL playoffs, and we've made it to the end of another strong week of research. All that's left is to call out a few of our favorite reads with a fresh Six-Pack of picks.

We went 4-2 last Sunday, bringing our season total to 55-46-1. For this weekend, we've got one pick for each of the six games. Enjoy the action!

Big plays should power big day: CeeDee Lamb over 96.5 yards (-110 Caesars)

Green Bay has allowed the fifth-most passes of 20+ yards over the last month and a half, and CeeDee Lamb is tied for the NFL lead with 29 catches of 20+ yards.

That certainly suggest to us that Lamb is hauling in a big play on Sunday. Lamb has gone for 116+ yards in six of the last seven games in which he records a catch of 20 yards or longer, so it seems only fitting we bet on another big day for Dallas' star receiver.

We like too much: Rams-Lions over 51.5 points (-110 FanDuel)

This game is deservedly set as the highest scoring game of the weekend with this over, and we don't even care, we're betting it.

Both passing games look to be in strong spots to produce, and we want to bet on almost every single player hitting the field Sunday night. Instead, we take a deep breath and simply load up the over and enjoy the show.

Mr. Consistency: Josh Allen TD (-105 BetMGM)

The weather is looking crappy in Buffalo, which should mean more rushing for Bills QB Josh Allen. He's been one of the steadiest scorers in the league this year, finding the end zone in 12 of 17 games. If the Bills can just get close, Allen is going to have his chances.

Note: Bills-Steelers has been postponed until Monday at 4:30 p.m ET because of the brutal snowstorm in the area.

Fade the Philly frauds: Buccaneers +3 (-115 DraftKings)

Is that too harsh? Sorry, but Eagles fan would agree, this team is just ugly and incompetent right now. It's extremely hard to imagine a world where Philadelphia suddenly figures out how to scheme creative offensive plays or stop any team from moving the ball at will.

Tampa Bay is tied for the second-best record against the spread this year, and as home dogs, they should at minimum keep this close but more likely, win.

Wacko for Flacco: Joe Flacco over 271.5 passing yards (-115 DraftKings)

There should be no hesitation in backing Joe Flacco to have another big game; this Houston secondary has gotten gashed by explosive passes over the last few months.

It's been quite amazing to see what Flacco has done the past few games, and we are here for it. He's tossed 309+ yards in four straight, including 368 yards against this Texans defense in Week 16. Here's to an encore performance to get the weekend started right.

Been there, done that: Chiefs -4.5 (-108 DK)

If you caught us earlier in the week, you would have grabbed this at -3.5 with us, but we still think it's worth calling out in favor of Kansas City this weekend.

The cold weather putting Miami out of its element is certainly a factor, but to us, it just comes down to playoff experience. Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid take the cake there compared to Tua Tagovailoa and Mike McDaniel, so the only logical choice is to back the Chiefs to cover and advance as they push to repeat as Super Bowl champs in a wide-open AFC.
