Wild Card Weekend.

The season hots up this weekend as the Wild Card matches get underway and I have 2 bets I like a lot.

Form is always key when punting and there are 2 fixtures this weekend that are repeats of last weekend. The dynamics will be much different in the Green Bay/Arizona match up because Arizona rested a number of their players but the result should be the same.

Green Bay won the contest 33-7 and they will be full of confidence when they return to Phoenix to tackle the Cardinals again. Green Bay had been as big as 21/20 a few days ago but they are best priced now at 10/11. It is still worth a bet, although anyone that got the odds against has done very well.

Aaron Rodgers has had a fantastic season and his O-Line is full of talented options. Arizona are no pushovers but are much more predictable than the Packers. The NFC West is the weakest of all the divisions and at the moment no other team are close to competing with Arizona.

It might be a lot closer than last week with Arizona fielding their stars but I expect Green Bay to have too much both offensively and defensively for the Cardinals.

The 2nd bet this week is Dallas. Tony Romo has got over his December Jinx and the 25/1 we took on Dallas some weeks ago now looks like a big price.

Philadelphia could have had a bye had they beaten The Cowboys last week but their 24-0 defeat handed their NFC East rivals the title and home field advantage in this game.

When I compiled my lines I made Dallas 6 point favourites but the firms have gone as low as 3.5. Yes, I do expect a better performance from the Eagles but watching the game back from last weekend I can't see the Cowboys throwing this one away.

I am going to have 2 singles and a double this weekend and expect it to be very profitable. The action will be good this weekend and I think our money is safe in the hands of Rodgers and Romo.

2pts Dallas -3.5 @ 10/11 Tote & Paddy Power.
2pts Green Bay 10/11 Generally.

1pt double.
