Free Picks – 49ers vs. Cardinals – Game Preview

It has been a season to forget for the Cardinals and 49ers. Both teams were in the preseason NFL playoff talk but neither will end up with a winning record let alone make it to the dance.

Arizona stunned the Cowboys in Week 17 with two defensive touchdowns on their way to 27-26 upset win at home against the Cowboys. The Cardinals were -7 point underdogs but won outright, while the 53 points scored made winners of the game total OVER bettors.

San Francisco struggled right out the gate in the NFL 2010 season and their latest loss, 25-17 to the Rams in St. Louis ended their slim playoff hopes. The 49ers failed were just 2.5-point underdogs but didn’t come close to a cover while those back the OVER cashed winning tickets.

It can be difficult to handicap a game that is pretty much void of any real meaning. The winner here doesn’t finish in last place in the NFC West – if you want to reach for something. The 49ers should also have some will to want to give their hometown fans something to cheer about in their final home game. This game won’t be on our betting card but, if forced, we would back the home squad, with the money line, in a close match-up that should be a fairly high scoring.

Game Preview – Packers vs. Bears – Free Picks

Green Bay pummeled the New York Giants 45-17 while the Bears battled down to the wire in a 39-34 win over the New York Jets during Week 17 NFL action. The score for both match-ups went way over their respective game totals.

Early in the week there was talk that Bears were going to play their starters in Week 17 for the majority of the game against the Packers. That was before the Vikings shocked the Eagles during Tuesday Night Football in Week 17 to give the Bears a first round bye in the NFC playoffs. This is yet another “gift” in a long list of gifts that the Yogi’s have received during this season.

We expect QB Jay Cutler to play long enough to help RB Matt Forte get the 22 yards he needs to top 1,000 yards rushing for the 2010 season. Once that is accomplished, expect them both, along with most of the Bears feature players, to head to the bench for the remainder of the game. The Packers are desperate for a win just to get into the playoffs and we see them winning, plus covering, in this one.

NFL Week 17 Free Predictions: Packers -9.5 ~ Packers -500 ~ UNDER 42.5 points
