2014 NFL Betting Picks - Wildcard Playoffs
Pick 1: Baltimore +3.5 
Pick 2: Indianapolis -4
Pick 3: Arizona +6.5
Down to 50% now after 4 losing weeks in a row. This is my worst streak in 7 years. What the hell, there is still time to make up and come out on top. The playoffs are here! In the four wildcard games, three of them have high confidence probability of betting. I'm personally not confident with any of them given the record of the last five weeks, but at the same time have to trust the system that has worked well in the past 7 years. Personally don't like Arizona given the change in QBs but they could still lose but at less the 6.5 points. The Steelers are hot but I like Baltimore winning in the playoffs. Finally, Indi has a lot to prove and hopefully comes out on top. The spread in the Dallas game seems right on target and it's a no bet. Going to 30% of bankroll for the rest of the playoffs. That makes a $700 a game for this week. Good luck!

My numbers like the home faves a bit more than Vegas except for Carolina.
