For the fifth consecutive year, TDActu in partnership with Unibet, offers you each week a detour on our favorites and the most interesting odds of the Sunday matches to come. Here are the ones that caught our attention for Boxing Day!
Combined
Detroit Lions – Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Buccaneers win 10 points or more: odds at 1.77
A total of 30 touchdowns in the air for the 8th time in his career. At the head of a team that can boast a record of 9 wins, 5 losses and which is in a good position to qualify for the playoffs after a comeback against Atlanta last Sunday. Yes, it is indeed Tom Brady over whom time has no hold. Despite some interception problems (7 in the last 6 games), the veteran still leads an attack that turns to nearly 29 points per game. On the other side is a Lions team trying to play on their players’ self-esteem following the dismissal of Matt Patricia. Without much success for the moment. Detroit concedes more than 31 points on average per game, dead last in the league, and a rating of 107.0 to opposing quarterbacks. Expect Brady and company to take advantage of this advantage.
Arizona Cardinals – San Francisco 49ers: Cardinals win by 7 points or more: odds at 1.91
It has been a disastrous season for the reigning NFC champions. San Francisco does not even have a stadium to play at this time because of the COVID-19 pandemic and a chain of injuries, ball losses (15 out of the last 5 games) or setbacks, especially as a quarterback. Jimmy Garoppolo, Nick Mullens or CJ Beathard followed one another without great success, forcing the Niners to recover Josh Rosen who could already start this week. Arizona is in a completely different situation. The Cardinals currently have a one-game lead over the Bears for last place in the playoffs after two straight wins. Faced with an opponent who has nothing more to play, Kliff Kingsbury’s men must be able to win quietly to maintain this advantage.
Las Vegas Raiders – Miami Dolphins: Dolphins win by 4 or more points: odds at 1.91
Despite a balanced record (7-7), Jon Gruden and the Raiders are in a sorry state at the moment. This is particularly true on the defensive side following the dismissal of Paul Guenther. Las Vegas concedes an average of 30.1 points per game. And in particular the ground game which is a complete disaster, as evidenced by the recent performance of Jonathan Taylor in week 14 (20 carries, 150 yards, 2 touchdowns, best career performance). The overtime loss to rivals Chargers last week did not help matters. Opposite, Miami needs this victory to keep the last qualifying place in AFC. They remain on a series of 5 victories in 7 games since the tenure of Tua Tagovailoa, including the last against the Patriots and this despite the absence of their 3 best receivers. Brian Flores’ men are diligent and hard to fault this season, Vegas will learn the hard way.
