'Wild Card' Underdogs: NFL Playoffs Betting (101) using Jaguars, Dolphins & Buccaneers

Not only do you root for a Florida-based NFL team such as the Jaguars, Dolphins or Buccaneers, you're charged up for whenever sports betting is legalized in Florida.

But you're ready to bet now on the NFL Playoffs Super Wild Card Weekend and not waiting around for some politicos in Tallahassee. If so, here is a short 3-Game, NFL Betting (101) Primer (using the playoff-bound Jags, Dolphins and Bucs as examples).

(Note: Check out your favorite sportsbook site for updated spreads, moneyline odds and other type bets for the NFL's Super Wild Card Weekend. 

Please bet responsibly and contact The National Council of Problem Gambling at 1-800-522-4700, if you or anyone you know has a gambling problem.)

Chargers (-1.5) @ Jaguars: Its been so long since the Jaguars were NFL anything, you think your father is making reservations to his favorite buffet spot each time you hear him say 'Mark Brunell'. 

You also own (16) Trevor Lawrence Wawa Night Wigs and are ready to bet on the 'home underdog' Jags, playing in their (home stadium and getting points) in this spot vs. a Chargers team traveling across the country. 

If so, the Jaguars must (1) defeat the Chargers or (2) lose by one point for you to win your against the spread bet on the home underdog Jaguars in what is expected to be a close game on NFL Playoffs Super Wild Card Weekend. 

Dolphins @ Bills (-11):  You're so excited about the Dolphins making the NFL Playoffs for the first time since Pitbull was cool, you just ordered another Skyler Thompson jersey.

You're also convinced the Dolphins, who lost as (-7) road underdogs just several weeks ago in Buffalo, despite covering the spread, can hang with the Bills. 

You also believe Dan Marino can jump out of a window, land on his feet and throw a touchdown pass -- this very second. 

In that case, you're going to ignore the fact your favorite NFL head coach looks like a computer creeper and bet the Dolphins (+11), who must defeat the Bills or lose by 10 points or less for you to win your bet on the road underdogs in this spot. Dale! 

Cowboys (-3) @ Bucs: You sleep with a sword in your mouth and have spent $865.17 in TB 12 merchandise since 2020, the same year you cancelled your Netflix to replace it with a fitted cap and kale diet package signed by the G.O.A.T., because you want to look and feel like Tom Brady. 

You're also convinced it was all Gisele's fault and that the home underdog Bucs (+3) can't possibly lose at home to the Cowboys, so you want to place a bet on Tampa Bay. 

That means the Bucs must beat the Cowboys straight up or lose by two points or less for you to win your bet on the home underdog in this spot.

(Sidenote: If the Cowboys win 20-17, Gisele keeps the house in Miami and you get your money back, assuming the spread is +3 when you place your bet on the home underdog Bucs.)
