Clay Travis' NFL Six Pack, Week 17: Start The New Year Strong By Cashing These Winning Bets
Happy New Year from Australia.
I’m writing to you from the future, where it is already 2024.
As such, I have been gifted with the incredible powers to predict the gambling future, Biff from “Back to the Future” style with this week’s games.
I know, I know, we only went 2-4 last week to run the OutKick Six Pack to 56-54 on the year, but this week I’m making up for it by going 6-0.
It’s time to get rich, kids.
Dolphins At Ravens, Over 46.5
The Ravens are everyone’s darling after Brock Purdy tossed four interceptions and the 49ers fell apart last weekend.
If the Dolphins were 100% healthy at wide receiver, I’d be all over Miami to win outright. Instead I’m going to expect the Ravens and Dolphins to get in a shootout, sending the total soaring over 46.5.
31-28 is the final, but it won’t matter who wins if you jump on board the over train.
Rams -6 At Giants
No team is playing better right now than the Rams, who are firing on all cylinders with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp slicing and dicing opposing defenses.
That continues against a Giants offense that has uncertainty at quarterback and is competing for a top draft pick.
I like the Rams, the team trying to lock up a playoff berth, by 10 or more.
49ers -14 At Commanders
The Commanders are in the race to draft a top quarterback and the 49ers are looking to bounce back from an embarrassing performance on Monday night.
It gets ugly.
And fast.
The Niners by over 20.
Panthers +4.5 At Jags
The Panthers, quietly, are starting to play decent football.
The Jags are not.
Without Trevor Lawrence and with the team collapsing, not even the Panthers can cure what ails the Jags.
I like the Panthers pulling off the upset, but just to be safe I’ll take the +4.5 in my pocket.
Saints At Bucs -2.5
The Bucs, pretty incredibly, are in position to win the NFC South and resuscitate Baker Mayfield’s quarterback career in the process.
Meanwhile the Saints have to win to stay alive in the division.
What happens?
The Bucs make the Saints walk the plank and move closer to hosting a home playoff game when they win by seven.
Bengals At Chiefs -6.5
At some point the Chiefs have to score some points and blow a team out, right?
Right?
Travis Kelce finally shows up and the Chiefs receivers do the incredible and catch the football for a week at least.
Meanwhile the Bengals continue their post-Joe Burrow descent.
The Chiefs win by two touchdowns.
There you have it, boys and girls, a 6-0 weekend from the future, the fabulous year of 2024.
