Nate's NFL Wild Card Football Wager and Cousin Vinny's Lock of the Week · Nate's Daily Wager

  Welcome to Nate's daily wager. I ain't picking winners, but I
• 0:10
  am making wagers. Time to put my money where my
• 0:13
  mouth is. This is Nate's Daily Wager for
• 0:20
  January 12th, 2025 and just needed one more field goal.
• 0:28
  These guys, I mean, they bring me up to the precipice and then
• 0:33
  they just don't let me get over the edge.
• 0:39
  That's some, that's some teasing, man.
• 0:41
  But anyways, it stayed under, so it is what it is.
• 0:48
  But anyways, it was they were trying to make a good game, but
• 0:53
  it didn't end. Anyways, today we got three
• 0:56
  games, we got one more tomorrow and tonight I'm looking all the
• 1:01
  way at the end. I like this game.
• 1:04
  We have the Commanders taking on the Buccaneers and the total
• 1:10
  sitting at 50 1/2. I like totals up that high.
• 1:14
  Makes me really believe that everybody thinks it's going to
• 1:17
  score. You know what?
• 1:19
  I believe that too. Because here's the thing, I
• 1:23
  don't know who's going to win this game because I can see it
• 1:26
  going one of two ways. I can see, honestly see
• 1:31
  Buccaneers just blowing the doors off of the Commanders.
• 1:36
  You have rookie quarterback who's had decent rookie
• 1:40
  campaign, they're 12:00 and 5:00.
• 1:42
  But I mean, they were just pulling wins out of their
• 1:46
  behinds all year. Just win after win after win.
• 1:50
  You go back and look, they they're very close to being like
• 1:54
  8:00 and 9:00, you know, not making the playoffs.
• 1:58
  But they did what they needed to do and they got the wins.
• 2:02
  So then on the other side of the ball, what that makes me think
• 2:04
  is, well, I don't think they're ever going to blow out Tampa
• 2:07
  Bay, but they have a very good chance of just staying in the
• 2:11
  game, scoring with Tampa. And then at the end, like the
• 2:14
  last five minutes, it's just being insane, some kind of
• 2:18
  weird, you know, turnover, pick 6 deep bomb back at them, just
• 2:26
  some ridiculous crazy, you know, ending.
• 2:29
  They could go either way, so you just never know.
• 2:33
  So I have no idea how the game's going to end, but I do think
• 2:36
  there's going to be plenty of scoring and it might not be
• 2:39
  until like the last three, 5 minutes, but I believe there's
• 2:43
  going to be points it's going to get.
• 2:45
  It's going to get over 50. I have to give up that hook.
• 2:49
  That's fine because I think it's going to go over, meaning it's
• 2:51
  going to get to 51. So that's where we're going.
• 2:54
  So we're going over 50 1/2 total points between the Tampa Bay
• 2:59
  Buccaneers and the Washington Commanders in today's NFL wild
• 3:04
  card football action. See anything better than that?
• 3:07
  Pound it. That's my pick and I'm sticking
• 3:09
  to it. And Cousin Vinny's got something
• 3:12
  for you. And I'm pretty sure the gaffers
• 3:14
  around somewhere. So boys, give them what you got.
• 3:19
  You called Vinny. Wild Card weekend, one of the
• 3:23
  best weekends of football of the year.
• 3:25
  Everyone enjoyed all the college games leading up to the weekend
• 3:28
  and man, it's going to be a good one today.
• 3:31
  So in case you haven't been following along, cousin Vinnie
• 3:36
  has been hitting all all all season long.
• 3:39
  I don't expect that to change in the playoffs and trying to make
• 3:42
  it a perfect run here for you guys in the playoffs leading up
• 3:46
  to the Super Bowl so you can take it to the bank and lock it
• 3:49
  up. So hopping right in here.
• 3:52
  Cousin Vinny has been messing around with the odds today.
• 3:54
  Looking at the lines, look at the overs, unders, you know all
• 3:57
  the things. Here's what I came up with.
• 3:59
  Cousin Vinny loves a two leg parlay with the Eagles money
• 4:04
  line and the Vikings money line. The Eagles money line is sitting
• 4:08
  at -250 and the Vikings money line sitting at -144.
• 4:16
  Stack them two up and you're looking at plus 140 and the two
• 4:20
  leg parlay. I like this for a lot of
• 4:22
  reasons. One, everybody in the early game
• 4:26
  with the Philly, the Philly game, the first of the two it's
• 4:28
  been it's been just everyone latching on the greenback there.
• 4:32
  There's this sexy sleeper pick of the day, a lot of pundits
• 4:37
  picking the Packers to upset Philly.
• 4:41
  Listen, one, when the Eagles and Packers played earlier the
• 4:45
  season, the Eagles won. It wasn't even the same Eagles
• 4:47
  team. That was the Eagles team without
• 4:50
  the defense they had and that was the first game with Saquan
• 4:53
  Barkley and that was in Brazil. This time around, the Eagles are
• 4:58
  still healthy. They're playing at home, have
• 5:01
  just a top to bottom better roster on paper than Green Bay
• 5:05
  and I think they are just ready and hungry for a Super Bowl run.
• 5:11
  On the other side, Green Bay's banged up, Jordan Love's got
• 5:14
  some elbow issues, Jair Alexander's out, Christian
• 5:17
  Watson's out. He's not going to spread the
• 5:18
  field. I just don't see any way how
• 5:22
  this is, I don't even think it's going to be a game.
• 5:24
  I, I, you know, I'm not going to touch it single handedly because
• 5:27
  I had a cousin video doesn't like to do that.
• 5:29
  But I will take the money line on it in the two lake parlay and
• 5:33
  parlay that with the second game, the lake game with LA and
• 5:36
  Minnesota. Now you know, everything going
• 5:38
  on in LA is a tragedy and the game how to get moved from LA to
• 5:44
  a neutral site. I believe in Arizona, but this
• 5:47
  just does not bode well for for the Rams.
• 5:50
  It's just they have a lot going on.
• 5:52
  I'm sure a lot of players are affected by this.
• 5:54
  Their families are impacted. The staff.
• 5:58
  Take it for what it's worth. It's a distraction.
• 6:01
  Neutral field likings are coming in off off a pretty big loss
• 6:05
  there to Detroit. They're going to be looking to
• 6:08
  rebound. I don't see the Vikings get
• 6:09
  getting getting punded on the first round of wildfire weekend
• 6:13
  again, Such a streaky LA team that's facing a lot of adversity
• 6:17
  with everything that's going on in California.
• 6:20
  I'm expecting the Vikings to roll.
• 6:22
  So what we're going to do here? My line Eagles, Vikings plus
• 6:27
  140, take it to the bank and lock it up until next week
• 6:32
  because of many with your lock of the week.
