Week 13: SNF + MNF

December 3rd, 2011 No comments

The two most watched games of the week come on Sunday Night and Monday Night. Two of the four teams playing are above .500 and contending for a playoff spot. Those two meet each other on the field Sunday Night. Here are the Sunday Night Football and Monday Night Football match-ups for week 13 of the National Football League season.

Detroit Lions @ New Orleans Saints -9

Jim Schwartz and the Detroit Lions could be in trouble. The schedule does not exactly favor them in the final weeks of the season. The Lions looked poor in their loss to the Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Detroit’s offense has been too sporadic this season. For New Orleans, they would like to chase down the San Francisco 49ers and garner that second seed in the NFC. The Saints are just a game behind the 49ers. Also, New Orleans needs a win in this one to make sure they stay ahead of Atlanta in the division. The Falcons are beginning to play some of the best football in the league, so the Saints may be in for a tight race in the end. We feel like the New Orleans Saints are going to win this game, and win it going away. New Orleans is so much better at home than they are on the road. We are betting Saints -9 over Detroit in this one. Take the Saints!

San Diego Chargers -2.5 over Jacksonville Jaguars

Two teams that are out of the race will get together in Jacksonville. Norv Turner, the Chargers head coach is all but on his way out of town, while Jacksonville just recently fired veteran head coach Jack Del Rio. The Jaguars are in third place in the AFC South, and only because of the winless Colts. For the Chargers, they have lost six games, and dropped to last place in the AFC West. Phillip Rivers and the Chargers offense have been unable to take care of the football long enough to be an effective offensive team. The Jaguars are the second lowest scoring team in all of the league. Thankfully for the Rams, Jacksonville is not buried at the bottom. This game is going to be close through most of the game. The Chargers do not seem to have the ability to blow another team out. In the end, despite being on the road, we feel the athleticism of the San Diego Chargers will pull through. We are betting San Diego -3 over Jacksonville in this one on Monday Night Football.

Well, there are our picks. We like both of these picks alot. We feel like we are going to have a huge week of NFL betting. It is not easy, but when you start getting the hang of it, it can be profitable. Enjoy the week 13 action on the field. We are excited for it, and cannot wait to start giving you our week 14 picks!

 

NFL Betting: Week 13

December 1st, 2011 No comments

Wow! There are just five weeks of regular season football left. This season has flew by. We have enjoyed giving you our best bets for all of the National Football League up to this point, and will continue all the way through the Super Bowl. Here are a few of our favorite bets for Week 13:

Oakland Raiders +3 @ Miami Dolphins

The Oakland Raiders heading all the way to South Florida may be a troublesome game. But, this time of year, we feel playoff teams are able to go on the road, and win against a lesser team. We feel the Raiders are THE playoff team out of the AFC West, so this is a game they MUST and WILL win. The Raiders are a field goal underdog. We like that, and also Oakland to win the game outright. Bet Oakland +3.

Atlanta Falcons -1.5 @ Houston Texans

These are both teams we have been loving on all season long. You’d find us hard pressed to bet against either one of these teams. We feel what Houston is doing without several of their key guys is very impressive. They are going to win the AFC South. Atlanta is a team that can compete with anyone, when they are on top of their game. In this game, we feel the Houston quarterback problem is going to be a major problem. We are betting the Atlanta Falcons -1.5 on the road, at Houston.

Tennessee Titans +1 @ Buffalo Bills

Tennessee is another team that must go on the road and win the game. The game is at Buffalo, and the Bills are all but dead. Buffalo has not played very well the last several weeks. If Tennessee can get a win here, they have a shot at being tied for the wildcard spot in the AFC. Look for them to play very determined. We like Tennessee as a single point underdog at Buffalo. Bet Tennessee +1.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Chicago Bears -7

The Kansas City Chiefs are playing their third straight tough game. A blow-out loss at New England, a home loss to Pittsburgh; and now out to Chicago. The Bears will be better this week than they were last week at Oakland. The Bears will give the ball to Matt Forte, and win this game. A touchdown favorite? Not enough! The Bears win this game and cover the spread. Chicago -7 is our pick.

New York Jets -3 @ Washington Redskins

Our final game is a third AFC team that needs to go on the road and win. And for the third time, we feel they will. We like Rex Ryan and the New York Jets to continue their winning ways and go to D.C. and come away with a win. The Jets are a field goal favorite, we feel New York will win by 4. Bet the Jets -3 over the Redskins.

Well, there you have it. Certainly not guaranteed winners, but games we like alot and will be betting on come Sunday. Enjoy the action, and we look forward to next week!

 

 

SNF + MNF for Week 11

November 20th, 2011 No comments

Once the Sunday afternoon games are complete, do not even think about calling it quits for the NFL in week 11. Two of the best games of the week will be played on National TV Sunday Night and then again Monday Night. Both games come in with question marks for the game, and there are plenty of playoff implications regarding all four teams playing in the game. The Sunday Night Football game and Monday Night Football game feature the Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants, and then the Kansas City Chiefs at the New England Patriots. Here are our bets for week 11:

Philadelphia Eagles +5.5 @ New York Giants

The Philadelphia Eagles are in a must win game. The Eagles are 3-6 and three games behind the Giants for first place in the division. Once dubbed the Dream Team, with a loss in week 11, and Philadelphia will all but be eliminated. The Eagles are banged up. Michael Vick is not going to play, and neither is Jeremy Maclin. Therefore LeSean McCoy is going to have to have a huge game for the Eagles. Vince Young will be the starting quarterback, but look for him to hand off more than he does throw. The Eagles strength is running the football, and that’s what they will do. Unfortunately, the Giants will have a tough time slowing down the Eagles run game. New York is coming off a loss to San Francisco, where the 49ers were able to move the ball when they needed to. With a Giants loss and a Cowboys win, those two teams will be tied at the top of the division. That is what we think will happen. In an upset, we are picking the Philadelphia Eagles +5.5 over the New York Giants.

Kansas City Chiefs @ New England Patriots -15

This is an ugly looking Monday Night Football game. When the schedule makers put this together, it was a great battle with Matt Cassell coming back against his former team. Now, Cassell is out for the season, and the youngster Tyler Palko is in. The Chiefs are in complete turmoil, as they are 4-5 on the season. Kansas City has to win this game to stay within a game or maybe tie the Raiders at the top of the division. The Chiefs are having a horrible time moving the football, and have a ton of key injuries. We cannot seem to think there will be any other bet in this game other than the New England Patriots -15 over the Kansas City Chiefs. The Patriots can score points, and score them fast. Look for them to blow the Chiefs out in this game and move to 7-3 and keep their lead in the AFC East.

Wow. This week should be fun! There will be a ton on the line Sunday night, and then anytime you get the Patriots on national TV, you are in for a treat. Whoever you are betting on, or even if you are not betting, enjoy the week 11 of the National Football League.

 

NFL Week 11 Betting

November 18th, 2011 No comments

What an exciting time in the National Football Leagues. The postseason berths are heating up, as teams are trying to make late efforts to get in. Week 11 brings a bunch of great games once again, with some excellent betting odds on them. We have looked at all the games, and here are our favorite bets for Week 11:

Carolina Panthers @ Detroit Lions -7

The first game we like is the Detroit Lions -7 over the Carolina Panthers. The Lions will be working with a banged up quarterback, but still will put a thumping on the Panthers. Detroit’s defense is rough and tough, and will put a hurting on the young Panthers offense. Cam Newton has had a great season, but in this one, he will show that he is still a rookie. We are betting the Detroit Lions -7 over the Carolina Panthers in this game.

Dallas Cowboys @ Washington Redskins +7.5

Out of the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins will get together. The Cowboys are just a game behind the Giants for first place in the division. Washington has seen a huge rough spot, as they have dropped five straight games. Look for Dallas to come away with the win in this game, but Washington keeps the game close. We are betting the Washington Redskins +7.5 over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Cleveland Browns -1

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Cleveland Browns will play in a battle of teams that are 3-6 on the season. Neither team has put up great offensive numbers, but we look for Colt McCoy to have a nice day in this one. Our money is on the Cleveland Browns, who are playing at home.

Tennessee Titans @ Atlanta Falcons -6

The Tennessee Titans could really use a win, to move within a single game of the Houston Texans. The Titans are 1.5 games back, and Houston is in their bye week. The Titans have a big week last week, winning; and finally getting Chris Johnson going. Unfortunately, they are going to go up against a very hungry Falcons team. Atlanta is seeking to come back from their loss in overtime to New Orleans. We think Atlanta will roll in this one. We are betting Atlanta -6 over Tennessee.

Buffalo Bills @ Miami Dolphins -1

Out of the AFC East, the Buffalo Bills are struggling. Miami has started to play a little better; with two straight wins. The Bills just do not seem to be the same team they were earlier in the season. Tony Sparano has quieted his critics a bit with a couple wins. Look for Miami to use the home field advantage, and the fact Buffalo is scuffling to win this game. We are betting Miami -1 over Buffalo.

Enjoy the weekend of football. Whether you are betting these games or not, they are certain to be exciting on the field. Best of luck with all your National Football League betting. We hope you bring home some big money over the weekend!

NFL Week 2 Quick Pick: Bengals @ Broncos

September 18th, 2011 No comments

Cincinnati Bengals @ Denver Broncos Sun. Sept. 18, 2011 4:15 p.m. EST

Week 1 of the NFL regular season went in two completely different directions of the Cincinnati Bengals and the Denver Broncos as the boys from the Mile High City lost to the Oakland Raiders and rookie quarterback Andy Dalton and company came out on top against the Cleveland Browns. Both these games were predicted wrong in the point spreads as the Bengals were favored to lose and the Broncos were favored to win.

In Week 2, the Denver Broncos will look to get back on track after a disappointing loss to their arch rivals on their home field last week on Monday Night Football. Even though a quarterback controversy has comeback up once again in Denver, new head coach John Fox looks like he content with Kyle Orton as his number one gunslinger under center and Tim Tebow will have to wait his turn.

As for the Cincinnati Bengals, the quarterback position has become a problem heading into Week 2 as rookie Andy Dalton went down in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns. Backup Bruce Gradkowski did a good job stepping in, but it is uncertain who will be under center this Sunday in the Mile High City.

As of right now, the Denver Broncos are favored to bounce back in Week 2 as they have been given the -4 point edge. This spread seems to be right on the money in my opinion as I believe the Broncos are the better all-around squad heading into this matchup.

Take the Broncos at -4.

NFL Week 2 Quick Pick: Bears @ Saints

September 18th, 2011 No comments

Chicago Bears @ New Orleans Saints Sun. Sept. 18, 2011 1 p.m. EST

In their Week 1 debut against the Atlanta Falcons, the Chicago Bears proved to everyone in the league that they are now amongst the league’s elite and ready to compete for a Super Bowl title in the Jay Cutler era in the Windy City. The win over Matt Ryan and company may have been a fluke with just a bad game from the Falcons, but the Bears looked good on both sides of the football which isn’t good news for the New Orleans Saints heading into Week 2.

Last Thursday night the New Orleans Saints had a tough task ahead of them as they had to take on the defending Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers in the season opener, but they were up to the task as they took the defending champs the distance and almost pulled off a thrilling fourth quarter comeback.

In Week 2, the Saints will have their work cut out for them once again as they will have to face off against yet another elite defense with Brian Urlacher and company trying to put the clamps on Drew Brees and the potent New Orleans offense. Even though the Bears look like they are much improved and ready to compete with the best of the best, the Saints look like they are just a bit better at this point in time and should come out with the win.

As of right now, the New Orleans Saints are favored to get the win in Week 2 with a -7 point spread at most sportsbooks online. The Saints will win, but not by that margin.

Take the Bears at +7.

NFL Betting: Week 1 – Sunday September 11th, 2011

September 10th, 2011 No comments

Well, here we go. Week one of the National Football League. We are extremely excited, and if these games are anything like the Thursday night game, we are going to have a ton of fun watching and following football. We have a nice card of bets for the day, so let’s release them:

Atlanta Falcons -1.5 @ Chicago Bears

The Falcons had a real poor pre-season, but take very little to no stock in that. Matt Ryan and company are going to be ready. The Falcons are the defending NFC South champions. Sure, the Bears are the NFC North defending champions, but that does not matter. We are going to take the Atlanta Falcons to win this game, and win it big. Bet the Falcons to beat the Bears on Sunday.

Philadelphia Eagles @ St. Louis Rams +4

The Philadelphia Eagles have a bullseye on their back all season long. The Eagles were noted as the “dream team” before the season even started. Look for the Rams, at home to be plenty ready to play the Eagles in this game. St. Louis will keep this game close throughout, and have a chance to win this game late. We are betting the St. Louis Rams to cover the +4 spread over the Philadelphia Eagles.

Pittsburgh Steelers +1 @ Baltimore Ravens

What a game this is going to be. Both of these teams out of the AFC North have been successful in the past several years. When these two teams get together it is a blood bath. These two teams are really talented on the defensive side. Look for defense to look good once again in this game. In the end, the defending AFC champions are going to come away with a win here. Bet the Steelers as the one point underdog at Baltimore.

Detroit Lions @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers -1

Alot of people are excited for the Detroit Lions. Sure, we think Detroit will be pretty good, but we don’t think they can beat Tampa Bay on the road. The line is just a single point, so we love the Buccaneers to cover this game. Tampa Bay gets off to a good start, which they will need in the NFC South, and beats Detroit. We are betting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers -1 to beat the Detroit Lions.

Dallas Cowboys @ New York Jets -5

Our final game that we are going to bet is the Sunday Night game of the week. The Dallas Cowboys are playing on the road in East Rutherford. Dallas is going to be a better football team this year, that’s for sure. But in this one, we just do not think they have enough to compete with Rex Ryan and the New York Jets. We are betting the New York Jets and their really tough defense to beat the Dallas Cowboys.

There you have it. Our week one NFL card. Let’s hope we come away with some wins and take home some money!
