Four Game Betting Previews for NFL Early Afternoon December 1, 2024

We take a look at four games Sunday early afternoon.

Cardinals vs. Vikings

Two teams in deadly fights for their divisions! The Arizona Cardinals lost a key game against the Seahawks which gave Seattle the lead in the NFC West, despite this, the division is extremely close and everything is still up in the air.

This line has sat at Minnesota -3.5 all week.  Our line is 3.91.  This one is on the money.

The Minnesota Vikings for their part won a tough divisional matchup against the Bears in OT. Just a game behind the Lions in the most competitive division in the NFL, the Vikings are looking to finish the regular season strong and contend for the #1 seed in the NFC. Who will win this exciting battle in Minneapolis, will it be Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, or will it be Sam Darnold and the Vikings?

Titans vs. Commanders

The Tennessee Titans’ year 1 with Brian Callahan has been quite a struggle to say the least. After only one win in their first seven games, they have snatched two victories in their last four, and week 12 saw them upset the reigning AFC South champs the Texans. The Washington Commanders for their part have been one of the best stories of the season under the helm of rookie QB Jayden Daniels, but the last weeks have been nothing short of regression for them. After winning seven of their first nine, they’ve lost three in a row and also the lead for the NFC East. Week 13 presents a great opportunity for one team to keep improving and for another to bounce back, who wins between Titans and Commanders?

65% of the backing was on Washington here with the line moving from Commanders -5.5 to -6.  An early line had Washington at -7.5.

Colts vs. Patriots

The Colts were a steady -2.5 in this game at New England.

We get a number of 4.85.  This suggests a decent sized underlay.

Comparisons include:

• Miami -2.5 Florida (Miami -5 Underlay) - Road favorite covers.
• Coastal Carolina -2.5 Georgia State (favorite Coastal Carolina covers and wins by a lot) Coastal Carolina 6.00 Underlay 3.5 points - Road favorite covers.

Action was balanced.

Texans vs. Jaguars

Houston went from a -6 favorite to -3.5.

Sagarin gives us a number of Houston 5.34, indicating an underlay currently after opening at an accurate number.

Comparisons include:

Cincinnati -5 to -3.5 Pittsburgh (road favorite CIN covers and wins by 7 points) Cin 4.27 On the Money (line was mostly on 4.5) - Road favorite covers.
