Week 14 was a little rough in the sense that the Minnesota Vikings won, but as we predicted, they failed to cover the number against the one-win Jacksonville Jaguars. No one expected the Seattle Seahawks to lose, which makes their division futures a little rough moving forward. There’s not a ton of value left on the board, but we will find a bet to like this week.

Our futures bet after Week 13

Washington Football Team +160 to win the NFC East

This is another double-dip, and while our fade of the Eagles has worked out well, we obviously did not foresee the Giants winning four straight games. Be that as it may, the Giants have a middle-of-the-pack schedule coming up in terms of difficulty, while Washingon has the ninth-easiest slate, starting this week against the 49ers in Arizona. This is more like a +122 proposition, making +160 tremendous value for Ron Rivera, Alex Smith and that defense.
