Latest / Nate's Daily Wager / Nate's NFL Saturday Divisional Round Playoff Wager with Cousin Vinny
Transcript
- 0:06Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
- 0:10am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
- 0:13mouth is. This is Nate's daily wager for
- 0:20January 17th, 2026. And well had the under needed to
- 0:26stay under 6 1/2. Then the Predators went out
- 0:28there and got 7 all on their own, so didn't even have to
- 0:32check the chart on that one. So take the L again, not good,
- 0:36but man. All right, so let's put that in
- 0:39the rear view. Let's look forward.
- 0:41We got playoff football today, Bills by a billion.
- 0:43But what I'm looking at is this late game about Niners,
- 0:46Seahawks, Battle of the NFC West.
- 0:49These guys matched up just a few weeks ago.
- 0:51Seattle took the game. I tell you what, I like the
- 0:54Niners here. I really like that I'm getting 7
- 0:56points. Wish I was getting 7 1/2, but
- 0:59I'm happy I'm not 6 1/2. So I know they're banged up, but
- 1:02so is Arnold. And I remind you, it's Darnold,
- 1:05all right? So it's not like you can say,
- 1:08well, you know, an 80% Darnold is better than, you know, 100%
- 1:12of 90 other quarterbacks. No, it's still Darnold.
- 1:15So an 80% Arnold is, well, 80% Darnold.
- 1:18You're not even confident when you got 100% Arnold.
- 1:20So I'm getting 7. I like the Niners even on the
- 1:24potential Monday line, so that's going to get a sprinkle, too.
- 1:27I know they're banged up, but these guys just find a way to
- 1:29win. And did I mention it was
- 1:31Darnold? Because and that he's hurt.
- 1:33So that's where we're going. All right, so we're going San
- 1:36Francisco 49ers plus seven against the Seattle Seahawks in
- 1:40today's NFC divisional round NFL playoff football action.
- 1:46Is there anything better than that?
- 1:47Pound it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
- 1:49to it, all right? It's divisional weekend
- 1:54Saturday, lock of the week edition.
- 1:58Best week in the football of the year in my opinion.
- 2:01You get 2 games, two quality games back the back days, lots
- 2:06of fun with handicapped and lots of winners to be had.
- 2:09Looking at the sleigh of the games for this Saturday, Cousin
- 2:13Vinnie doesn't want to touch either of these games in terms
- 2:17of picking a winner. Just too many unknowns here.
- 2:20I don't know what Buffalo has left in the tank going in a Mile
- 2:23High. I don't trust Bo Nicks.
- 2:25I don't know what Tom Peyton's thinking ever.
- 2:28And in the late game, I don't know. 7 points is a lot.
- 2:31And I don't know how much San Francisco has left in the tank
- 2:34after a big emotional win playing with backups and 3rd
- 2:38stringers last week in Philly. Why I'd be inclined to take
- 2:41Frisco in the seven points. I just don't know what they got
- 2:44left in the tank. What I do know though is that
- 2:47both big offenses here, the Bills and Frisco, are both on
- 2:51the road and they're both banged up injuries across the board
- 2:54with the star players out and both teams are going to have to
- 2:58rely on no names to pull out the victory here.
- 3:01So on the flip side of the ball, on the flip side, you've got 2
- 3:04favorites that run the ball and have good defenses control the
- 3:09clock. So neither one of these
- 3:11favorites want to get into a shootout with either of these
- 3:14offensive teams. That all being said, man, I love
- 3:18the unders on both games here. And what I want to do here is
- 3:22I'm going to tease the under on both games.
- 3:25And so for the early game, that would tease the over under up
- 3:29from 46 to 52. And in the late game, it would
- 3:33tease the over under up from 44 1/2 to 50 1/2.
- 3:37Having both these unders under 50 points just had the great
- 3:41ring to it, in my opinion. So to review, we're going to go
- 3:45with the two game teaser, under 52 points in the early game and
- 3:51under 50 1/2 points in the late game.
- 3:54Easy money. Take it to the bank and lock it
- 3:57up until next week. This is Cousin Finney with your
