NFL Best Bet Picks

- Updated every Wednesday by 3pm Pacific Time -
If you are not seeing the current week, your browser is loading a cached page.

Each week the person in charge of a subscriber feature can submit a 'best bet' selection. These have proved to be very potent in some cases since the introduction of this concept five years ago, and we will present a best bet freebie on this page each week.

2Win Hits: MIA 11 - BUF 12

For help on how to use the Falcon PP's, see Falcon PP's -- your ticket to success?

Analysis: one interesting area of exploration with the Falcon PP's is with "new highs" and "new lows" of performance for a team. Teams often "bounce" after an extreme performance -- bouncing back down after a ridiculously good outcome, bouncing back up after a super bad one. For Miami there is no doubt last week represented a low point on a season of low points. At 0-12 they are staring the shame of being the first NFL team to ever go 0-16 square in the face. Last week they were favored and lost by 27 points! The Falcon Fig on the game was a horrendous 58. Ouch! On the bright side however they only lost by a field goal to Buffalo in the first meeting, and have in fact lost six times this year by three points. Buffalo doesn't tend to score lots of points which means laying a touchdown is quite a lot. The Bills are fighting for a playoff spot which is important, but Miami players are fighting to avoid a humiliating legacy.

Favor: Miami +7
