Betting on NFC Dark Horses to Win Divisional Matchups
Written by Eric Williams on January 15, 2016
With two NFC divisional matchups on tap for this weekend, NFL betting enthusiasts will have a pair of opportunities to cash in on underdog dark horse picks. Unfortunately, for one dark horse team, I expect their season to come to an abrupt halt…making this look at both dark horse dogs a virtual ‘one-and-done’ selection. Now, let’s find out which dark horse is most likely to cash in against their underdog odds.
Carolina’s dual-threat signal-caller Cam Newton is a virtual lock to bag the league’s MVP award this season and he’s helped the Panthers go 4-0 ATS in their last four home games and 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games against their NFC counterparts.
Still, with Seattle going 6-1-1 ATS in their last eight road games against a team with a winning home record and 6-2 ATS in their last eight games overall, I believe they’re the right pick to pull off the dark horse upset against the Panthers. While 64 percent of the betting public likes Carolina to get the job done, up from 59 percent earlier in the week, I fully believe the Seattle Seahawks are going to bring their collective ‘A’ game to pull off the outright road upset.
