Football jumps back into center stage today, as the NFL playoffs get underway with a pair of games, and there is also one college game, the International Bowl, featuring Ball State and Rutgers. The public has been wagering on Rutgers, driving the line up to 11 points in most places. The game should be a high-scoring, entertaining affair.
There are conflicting trends in the NFL playoffs, as Jacksonville has been getting bet heavily and is now favored. Road favorites are a perfect 3-0 over the last five years, but teams who the linesmaker installed as an underdog and were bet to become the favorite have been historically poor bets.
The Redskins have received most of the betting action in the NFC game, where rainy weather is expected. The Redskins have a solid rushing defense, but the key will be how they can handle the Seattle passing attack.
The NBA, NHL, and NCAA basketball schedules present a full slate of games.
Today's free pick will be posted by 1 p.m. EST and can be found at Free Sports Betting Picks in the Sports Gambing 101 section of the site.
