    The Spreadzone - NFL Divisional Round Best Bets
    Jan 16 2025
    This is The Spreadzone, and we're diving deep into the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. First up, Dave's got his eyes on Jayden Daniels. This kid is a rocket on those go routes, generating a ridiculous +42.5 EPA. Plus, he's been slinging TDs with 9 touchdowns and zero interceptions. We're riding that wave. Next, we're targeting Matt Stafford. The Vikings love to blitz, and Stafford is a seasoned vet who thrives under pressure. They blitzed him 20 times in their last matchup, and he carved them up with 14-18 completions, 178 yards, 2 TDs, and zero picks. Expect more of the same if the Eagles blitz him this week. And finally, we're putting our money on Jared Verse. This dude is an absolute beast. He clocked in at 19.888 mph, making him the fastest ball carrier over 260 pounds in the last seven years. Buckle up, folks. Our official play: DET -9.5 and Over 55.5. We're throwing down $400 for a potential payday of $1,408. That's it, that's the Spreadzone. Now go out there and crush it!
