In NFL Week 17 we saw the Chicago Bears led by Jay Cutler get defeated by the Minnesota Vikings and in the following days after both head coaches were let go, fired.
The Chicago Bears have been quite an anomaly this season. As the Bears prepare to go into Minnesota and play the Vikings, the Bears will have some soul searching to do as the team has played significantly better on the road than they have at home this year. The Vikings have endured the opposite problem. The Vikings have played well at home but have struggled on the road. Rookie quarterback Teddy Bridgewater has certainly performed in his debut season as the young kid from the University of Louisville looks to make his mark on the NFL.
The Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is one that has never shied away from controversy. NFL gossip suggests that there is a schism in the Bears locker room with some players supporting Cutler while others question is toughness. Several seasons ago, Cutler took an enormous amount of heat for being taken out of a playoff game with the lead only to see the Bears lose once he was removed from the game. Several days later, Cutler was seen walking on his injured leg. Is Cutler tough enough to continue being the Bears quarterback? If the Bears do not make the playoffs this year, it will be interesting to see how long Cutler remains in the Chicago uniform.
Now we focus our attention towards the remaining teams in the hunt for the 2015 Super Bowl as seen below:
The Redskins, who will most likely be playing for pride, will play the upstart Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have started this season out superbly going 6-1 in their first 7 games. The Cowboys look somewhat unstoppable as they have been able to run and pass the ball using a simple balanced approach. Head coach Jason Garrett looks to navigate his team to the playoffs so that the Dallas fan base can potentially relive their glory days of making the Super Bowl.
The Redskins have been a team in turmoil all year. With 3 different quarterbacks, the Redskins’ plans for making the post season were put on hold after sensational quarterback Robert Griffin III injured himself earlier in the season. With many of the Redskins fans hopes and dreams dashed, the only way that Washington can receive any sort of moral victory is by beating the Cowboys in Week 16. Given the fact that Dallas may have already locked up their playoff spot by Week 16, could the Cowboys sit their starters? This strategy has seen mixed results for teams in the past and it is unclear if this is the coaching strategy that Jason Garrett would employ. All Cowboy fans would agree that being able to bench your starters so late in the season could be a good problem to have!
Super Bowl time! The Super Bowl is a little over a month away and today we will be focusing on shifting Super Bowl betting trends. Several Super Bowl online betting 2015 sites will tell you that early season favorites like the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos will not make it past there respective conference championship games and we’d agree with that, however who will make it in if not these big heavy hitters? Could it be the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots to meet in Superbowl 2015?
Have you ever wondered if there were some arbitrary betting trend that you could follow that could help you gain an edge on your Super Bowl betting insights? It should be noted that if you research cursory Super Bowl betting trends, you’ll find that the NFC has won more Super Bowls therefore they could be favored in a raw statistical analysis. Does that mean you should bet on the NFC each time? What about the fact that the underdog has won many of the Super Bowls in recent memory? Do these stats mean anything at all?
Depending on what you are trying to accomplish, they could mean everything or they could mean nothing. Many people do many different things with stats and some use the stats for fantasy football reasons while others use the stats to try and earn a buck at the sports books. The neat thing about the NFL is that anything can happen. The Super Bowl trend mentioning the underdogs winning many of the Super Bowls in recent memory is a testament to that fact. With so many factoids and stats tailored to make an agenda fit around a sports fan’s argument on a bar stool, it can be confusing to find what works for you. The best advice is to go with your gut when you seek out Super Bowl betting trends for yourself.
With only one more week left to go in the NFL regular season we take a look at our NFL Week 16 betting picks and predictions and the top sportsbooks offering these betting lines.
The Bills will travel across the country to play the Raiders in Week 16. The Raiders are in a rebuilding phase although the Bills will most likely be playing for pride or for an AFC Wild Card spot. Out of all the teams in the NFL, the Bills have the longest post season drought. The Bills are commonly associated with their numerous 2nd place finishes in the Super Bowl in the early 90s. This millennium’s Bills sport a fast offense, a solid offensive line and a budding defense. If the Bills make the playoffs this year, they will break the streak for being the one team that has waited the longest between playoff appearances.
The Bills will play the Raiders on Sunday, December 21st 2014 at 4:25PM EST. The game will take place at O.co Stadium, which is the home stadium for the Raiders. While the Raiders are statistically unable to make the playoffs themselves, this game could serve as a catalyst for the Bills to enhance their playoff chances for the 2014 season. Could the Bills shock the world and make the playoffs? This game against the Raiders in week 16 will certainly help the Bills set the course for their next postseason endeavor.
In what could be dubbed as the battle for California, the San Diego Chargers will travel to Levi’s stadium to play the 49ers. This Week 16 game will take place on Saturday, December 20th 2014 and the game will be played on a Saturday at 4:30PM EST. NFL games will typically be played on a Saturday as the college football season ends. With the football season nearing its end, it is entirely possible that these two teams could have a lot at stake when they play each other. Both teams started the year average or slightly above average. The 49ers were expected to be Super Bowl contenders but on the field and off the field issues have kept the team from rising to the elite level.
The Chargers are performing well above what many experts suggested. The Chargers, being led by Philip Rivers, have lit up defenses this year while statistically staying in the top 10 teams in terms of offense. The Chargers are quite lopsided on offense given the fact that the team ranks near the bottom in regards to running the ball. Given the fact that the 49ers are consistently in the top 5 in terms of defense, the 49ers could give the Chargers all the want as the battle of California commences.
As we start to make our desent into the NFL playoffs each game in Week 15 has the utmost importance with so many playoff hopes on the line. The same can be said for today’s game between the Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts. In today’s NFL betting update we will be giving you our selection between the Texans at Colts game.
The fate of the AFC South conference could be decided when the Colts host the Texans at Lucas Oil Stadium. Earlier this season, the Colts played the Texans in a game that they won by the score of 33-28. The Texans have kept it together through out the first half of the season although the team has faced adversity at several key positions including quarterback. The latest starter for the Houston Texans is league journeyman Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick has led the Texans as QB with respectable numbers however the Colts are ranked #1 in the league in total offense through out the first 8 weeks of the NFL season.
Analysts have speculated that the AFC South division is a race between these two teams. The Colts’ performance against the Steelers has left some fans befuddled. The Colts look to rectify that ugly game by soundly winning the division and they must do that by defeating their main division rival, the Houston Texans. The Texans look like an average, middle of the road team. However, the Texans can not be discounted as the team puts an enormous amount of talent onto the field. Although the Texans have lost the last 3 against the Colts, the Texans should feel encouraged about their last outing against the Colts in which they only lost by 5 points.
Still pondering over your NFL bets and Week 7 picks? Then allow us to help you out with our NFL Week 7 game of the week betting prediction. There are a lot of great games to be played today but one game in particular stands out. Everyone and their mother this week spent most of their work days talking about the Dallas Cowboys and their win over the Seattle Seahawks in NFL Week 6. The Dallas Cowboys went into Seattle and crushed the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks in their own house. This week in NFL Week 7 the Seahawks will play the Rams in St.Louis but that is not our game of the week.
So onto our money pick for NFL Week 7. Can the Dallas Cowboys keep their winning streak alive and move to 6-1 against a struggling New York Giants team? Oddsmakers seem to think so but just by how many points can the Cowboys and Tony Romo win by? Current sportsbooks have the Cowboys sitting at -7 point home favorites, with the Giants Moneyline at +240 for the Giants, and the Over/Under posting at 48 points. Who will have a better game, Tony Romo or Eli Manning this afternoon?
If you are not quite convinced that the Cowboys are for real then consider the following betting trends going into this matchup. Yes, the Cowboys have won straight up in 5 of their last 5 games, but they have not done a good job of covering the point spread. Dallas is only 2-5 against the spread in their last 7 games at home and to make matters worse they have only covered the spread in 7 of there last 21 games when playing against the New York Giants. Sure, the past is the past but you have to take these betting trends into consideration when evaluating the Cowboys in today’s game against the Giants.
In summary, our NFL Week 7 betting pick in the game of the day is to take the Giants with the points at +7 points against the Cowboys in today’s game.
Week 6 of the NFL regular season starts tonight with the first game between Andrew Luck’s Colts and J.J. Watt’s Houston Texans. Today we will be covering our best games to bet on in NFL Week 6 along with our NFL predictions. Remember it’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how much you bet!
Since we brought it up already we might as well start with our betting prediction for the Colts and Texans game. Currently the Bovada sportsbook has the Colts favored to win on the road by 3.5 points but we will have to respectfully disagree. Andrew Luck and the Colts are good, but we expect Luck to get rattled in tonight’s nationally televised game and for J.J. Watt to have a monstrous game. Our Week 6 betting pick is to take the Texans at +3.5 points at home.
Next up in the Sunday night late game in Week 6 the New York Giants travel up the highway to Philadelphia to play the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. Current online sportsbooks for NFL betting have the Eagles listed as -3 point home favorites with the total points projected at 50.5 points. This means this should be a high scoring game. Who does better in high scoring games, the Giants or Eagles we have to ask ourselves. In this case, we like the Giants at +3 on the road with Ely Manning’s new formed offense.
In Week 5 NFL betting trends we see the Bills surprisingly increase their odds of winning with Kyle Orton stepping in to be their starting quarterback.
The Lions have started the season at 2-1 with impressive wins over the New York Giants and the Green Bay Packers. The Buffalo Bills have also had a decent start to the season with wins over Chicago and Miami. This game is expected to be a high scoring affair since each team fields so many weapons on offense. The Lions have Matt Stafford at quarterback and he is someone who can light up the field. Since this game is being played at home, the Lions will certainly enjoy playing on the turf versus outdoors.
The Bills will travel to Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan on October 5th 2014 for a game that is scheduled to be kicked off at 1PM. The Bills vs. Lions game is expected to be carried on the Fox network.
With so many talented players on the field, it can be hard to properly handicap. Football game becomes difficult to predict as more variables are thrown into the mix. In the matchup between the Bills and Lions, the game could have multiple outcomes and the winner of the game will probably do so on a lucky play or two since both of these two teams are so evenly matched up.
NFL Week5’s Bears at Panthers game will be a war of attrition. Both teams have many key injuries going into this one so it will be interesting which back up players have the most impact. Today we will go over our NFL Week 5 predictions starting with the Bears at Panthers game where the Panthers are currently listed as -3 point home favorites.
In week 5 of the NFL season, the Chicago Bears will travel to Charlotte, NC to play against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have been on fire ever since Cam Newton has come into his own. The Bears have also been firing on all cylinders with a few big wins in primetime games. Most recently, the Bears defeated the Jets on Monday Night Football. This game between the Bears and the Panthers will take place on Sunday, October 5th at 1PM at Bank of America Stadium.
The Bears will start Jay Cutler as quarterback against the Panthers. The Panthers look pretty good on defense this year so this game could be the ultimate test. Being that the Bears look like one of the best teams in the NFC North while the Panthers pass the eye ball test as being one of the top teams in the NFC South, its entirely plausible that these two teams could cross paths again in the 2014 NFL playoffs.
Ron Rivera is the coach of the Panthers and he is as defensive minded as they come. Rivera made a name for himself after diffusing Peyton Manning’s offensive attack while Rivera was defensive coordinator with the San Diego Chargers. Rivera is looking to make a name for himself as he tries to battle the surprisingly potent offense of the Chicago Bears.
Updated NFL betting lines for the Bengals and Patriots for NFL Week 5 feature the Patriots sitting as +2 point home underdogs after a tough loss on Monday night were they were demolished by the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Cincinnati Bengals will travel to Foxborough, MA to play the New England Patriots in front of an international audience on Sunday Night Football. The game is scheduled to kick off at Gillette Stadium at 8:30PM EST. The Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton has been on point but many Bengals fans wonder if Dalton can do more than lead the Bengals to a Super Bowl. In fact, many Bengals fans have been wondering when they will be able to enjoy a playoff victory. All of that could change as the Bengals have looked impressive against all formidable competition this year.
Tom Brady and the Patriots aren’t slouches either. While the Super Bowl dynasty may have ended nearly 10 seasons ago, the Patriots are always dangerous in the postseason. Could this game be a preview of an AFC playoff or championship game? It’s entirely possible and the Patriots at home will serve as a way for the Bengals to truly measure their teams tenacity as they try to excel into the playoffs and eventually the Super Bowl.
Bill Bellichick, the coach of the Patriots, will look to diffuse the potent Bengals offense. While the Patriots may not have the defense in the league, the leadership of Bellichick always helps the Patriots find a way to bend but not break.
With only one more game left in Week 4 with the Monday night game between the Patriots and Chiefs, we can now comfortable look ahead to NFL Week 5 betting odds with a big match up between Texas teams. The Dallas Cowboys are coming off of a big win against the Saints where the Cowboys were actually underdogs at home.
Week 5 of the NFL season will feature the battle of Texas as the Houston Texans travel up the road to Dallas to play the Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. Often referred to as one of the nicest indoor arenas in the world, the Cowboys will host the upstart Texans in a rare meet up between the in-state rivals.
The Dallas Cowboys will rely on Tony Romo to lead the team to victory while the Texans have banked their trust on Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Texans won in their opening week game which has elated the spirits of Texans fans. Since the Texans were able to draft Jadeveon Clowney with the first overall pick in the draft, many fans have renewed their optimism for the Texans franchise.
The Cowboys have an international following and this game will be packed to rafters with mostly Cowboys fans since this game is being played on their home turf. Texan’s head coach Bill O’Brien was apart of the New England Patriots Super Bowl dynasty years and he looks to bring that same winning attitude into the locker room of the Texans. The Cowboys will look to find their way into the playoffs and excel into Super Bowl if they can keep the wheels on the wagon and not make big mistakes in crunch time like they have in years past.
After a Sunday full of ups and downs, we turn our attention towards the late game. If we have learned anything from NFL Week 4 it’s that home field advantage does not count for much. Unless you are playing in Seattle but the Seahawks had a bye week in Week 4.
Current bookmakers have the Saints sitting at -3 point road favorites. the moneyline for the Dallas Cowboys is currently +130 a couple of hours before kickoff. You can bet on this game now by checking out our reviews of the top NFL online sportsbooks. The Top Bet sportsbook has the Game Total at 54 1/2 points so this is expected to be a high scoring game.
A couple of points to note before betting on this game and checking out current betting odds. The Saints Mark Ingram (Running Back), will not be playing in this game so expect them to focus on their passing game against a Dallas Cowboys secondary which has struggled this season. This is why you should bet on the over this game because defense on both sides will definitely not be a factor. Also worth mentioning is that the Cowboys are 1-4 Against the Spread in their last 5 games at home. What does this mean? It means that Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys choke when they play at home.
The Saints at Cowboys game will kickoff at 8:30 PM EST at AT&T Stadium and will be nationally televised on NBC. The Saints go into this game with a record of 1-2, compared to the Cowboys record of 2-1.
As we continue with our NFL Week 4 predictions we look ahead to the Packers at Bears game. Current NFL online betting odds have the Packers sitting at +1.5 betting odds as home underdogs against a struggling Packers team.
The Green Bay Packers will travel to Soldier Field to play the Chicago Bears in a week 4 battle that will likely put one of these two teams on top of the NFC North divisional standings.
The Packers start Aaron Rodgers as a quarterback while the gunslinger Jay Cutler will get the start for the Bears. If you look at the stats of each of these teams, you’ll understand that the two teams are similar in almost every category. In fact, in the first two games of the season, the packers gained 322 yards per game while the Bears gained 321. The Packers threw for an average of 242 yards per game while the Bears threw for 255. The Bears are averaging 66 yards per game on the ground while the Packers have gained 80 yards.
This week 4 football game will take place on September 28th 2014 at 1PM EST. Bears head coach Marc Trestman looks to bring his innovative offensive attack into Soldier Field to outperform the Packers defense. Packers head coach Mike McCarthy will need to engineer a plan to counter balance Trestman’s offense. The Packers and Bears are considered arch rivals with their histories going back to the beginning of the league. When the Packers and Bears play, many football experts mention that the game is personal for both players and fans.
We will be one of the first ones to admit that NFL Week 4 does not have very many exciting matchups but we do have one game that sticks out and should be a real treat to watch and bet on. In NFL Week 4 Nick Foles and the Philadelphia Eagles travel to Santa Clara to play the San Francisco 49ers. The Eagles are undefeated this season and the 49ers do not look like a playoff team at the moment. Below please view our latest updated Eagles and 49ers odds for NFL Week 4 betting.
The Eagles will travel the span of the United States in order to play the late game versus the 49ers. The 49ers play all of their games at Levi’s stadium and this specific week 4 match up will take place on Sunday, September 28th at 4:25PM near Santa Clara, California. The Eagles are starting Nick Foles at quarterback. The 49ers are fielding Colin Kaepernick as their starting QB. For fantasy football gurus, the game gets exciting because the Eagles will start LeSean McCoy at running back while the 49ers will put the equally potent Frank Gore on the field.
These two teams always seem to put points up on the board when they play each other. The Eagles won the first game of their season while the 49ers were recently upset by the Bears. The biggest surprise of the NFC West is that the Arizona Cardinals finished the first two games going 2-0.
Although the 49ers are favorites to win the division, it may be concerning to 49ers fans that their team is currently tied (with three other teams) as being in last place in the NFC West division. If the Eagles emerge victorious on the road, the Eagles could improve to the best record in the NFC East.
In the late game on Sunday night we have Ben Roethlisberger and the Pittsburgh Steelers travel to Carolina to play Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers.
NFL Week 3 saw some crazy games like the Seattle Seahawks beating the Denver Broncos, New England Patriots just barely beating the Oakland Raiders by a score of 16-9, and the Dallas Cowboys defeating the St. Louis Rams in a nail biter by a score of 34-31. What we can take away from NFL Week 3 is that when it comes to NFL online betting, anything can happen on any given Sunday.
Current NFL odds for the late game Sunday night have the Panthers sitting at -3.5 home favorites. The Panthers are coming off of a 24-7 win over the Detroit Lions whereas the Steelers lost their last game by 26-6 to the Baltimore Ravens.
Our Sunday Night Football NFL betting prediction for this game would be to take the Carolina Panthers at -3.5 and the Over 42.5 points in what we expect to be a high scoring affair. If you want to bet on this NFL game but you do not know how to or where to, check out our online sportsbook reviews posted above.
You can bet your bottom dollar that Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos had their NFL Week 3 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks circled on their calendar as soon as the NFL regular season schedule was released.
It is not often you see a Super Bowl rematch the following season in the regular season so that is why today’s Denver Broncos at Seattle Seahawks is a huge deal. As we all remember the Seattle Seahawks whopped Peyton Manning and the Broncos last Super Bowl. Can the Broncos avenge that loss? Who needs this win more?
This game is set to kickoff at 4:25 PM EST and will be played in Seattle. Seattle is tough to beat at home but it has happened. The Broncos are coming off of a 24-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in NFL Week 2. The Seahawks on the other hand were handed their first loss of the season in an upset loss of 30-21 at the hands of the San Diego Chargers.
Currently online sports betting sites have the Seahawks as -5.5 home favorites as many online bookmakers expect a big rebound game by the Seahawks Legion of Boom defense after giving up 30 points to Philip Rivers last week.
In today’s Super Bowl rematch we will see which team is for real. Our NFL Super Bowl prop bet would be that whoever wins today’s game will go on to make it to the Super Bowl. Now, we are not necessarily saying the winner of this game will win the 2015 Super Bowl, but we are saying that the winner will make it to the Super Bowl, and the loser will not go the distance this season.
Our NFL Week 3 betting prediction would be to take the Seattle Seahawks at -5.5 points and for Peyton Manning to not have as good of a game as many bettors are expecting him to have.
Yes, we understand that NFL Week 3 is not even over yet but we wanted to take a quick look ahead to NFL Week 4 betting odds because that is when things get right in the thick of it. So far our NFL predictions have been hitting around 67%, which is really good considering the national average is barely over 43%. That’s because so far this NFL season the games have been so unpredictable that even the best NFL handicappers cannot string together more than a few wins. We here at NFL-Online-Betting.com don’t have a crazy system in place to making our NFL Week 4 predictions, we admit we have just been lucky. There’s nothing wrong with luck is there?
Week 4: Giants vs. Redskins
With RG3 going on the injury list, Kirk Cousins has stepped up in a big way to lead the Washington Redskins. After their big victory in week 2 with Cousins coming in for relief, the journeyman quarterback showed his stuff which may parlay himself into a first string quarterback slot on another team. The Giants will start 2 time Super Bowl champion Eli Manning as their quarterback.
The Giants haven’t looked like the same team that they were in seasons past. The Redskins will look to ride their new found quarterback on to a win in this Thursday night football match up. The Giants will travel to FedEx field near Landover, MD to play in front of a national crowd. The game kicks off on September 25th 2014 at 8:25PM EST and the NFL Network and CBS will be playing the games in the USA. Check back here for updated NFL odds on this game after Monday night. This NFC East showdown will pit the two likely favorites to win the division against one another. One team will rise and become the odds on favorite to win the division and a coveted NFL playoff spot.
Tom Coughlin, the coach of the Giants, is on a perpetual hot seat due to the up and down nature of his team. When the Giants are playing well, no one can stop them. If they are playing badly, the Giants will sometimes look like the worst team in the league. Which Giants team will show up to play the Redskins? Tune into to find out. The above wagering sites will not have NFL odds posted until Monday night.
The Chargers will travel to the East coast to play the Buffalo Bills in an AFC conference rivalry. Since these two teams are in different divisions, they don’t typically play each other but once every few years. This rare match up will feature Philip Rivers starting at QB for the Chargers while the Bills will start E.J. Manuel at the QB spot. The Chargers surprised the Seahawks in Week 2 of the NFL season while the upstart Bills have started the season 2-0. These two teams were dismissed by NFL critics but after week 3, one team will still be undefeated which is an impressive and improbable feat for either team.
The game will take place in Orchard Park, New York at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Kick off is slated for September 21st 2014 at 1:00PM EST and the game will likely be broadcast on CBS inside the United States. Stats show that team that start the season 2-0 are much more likely to make it into the NFL playoffs than those who are 0-2 or 1-1. These two teams have a leg up on their division and they can keep the momentum, the Bills and the Chargers could both be teams the surprise contenders during the 2014 NFL playoffs.
NFL Week 3 odds are up at most bookmakers so if you are still deciding on where to lay your bets for NFL Week 3 take a gander at today’s NFL Week 3 Buccaneers at Falcons betting preview.
In tonight’s NFL Thursday Night game we have the Buccaneers at Falcons.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will travel to the Georgia Dome to play the Atlanta Falcons in a NFC South divisional clash. This week 3 Thursday night football game will be broadcast on CBS and the NFL Network. The expected kick off time is at 8:25PM EST.
The Falcons feature Matt Ryan as their starting quarterback. The Falcons defeated the New Orleans Saints in the first game of the season to take a lead in the NFC South division. The Buccaneers did not fair so well in their first game of the season. This week 3 matchup will likely have Josh McCown as the starter for the Bucs. This game between the Falcons and Bucs will likely set the course for the rest of the season for each of these two teams. The Falcons look to be the favorites in the NFC South but the NFL season has 17 weeks and they play the games for a reason.
The NFC South division seems to be one of the most even matched up divisions in the NFL. The Falcons Saints final score was 37-34 in week 1 while the Panthers Buccaneers score was 20-14. The NFC South could be one of the most competitive divisions in the NFL and since all of the teams so evenly matched, any one of these 4 teams could hoist the division champion banner.
Johnny Manziel or Brian Hoyer, that is probably what the Baltimore Ravens defense is currently asking themselves right now regarding who to prepare to face in NFL Week 3. In updated NFL Wagering odds current sportsbooks have the Browns posted as +2.5 home underdogs. In Week 2 the Ravens showed they do not need Ray Rice to win games in this league.
The Ravens will travel to the Dog Pound to play the Cleveland Browns. The Dog Pound is the nickname for the Cleveland Browns Stadium and the history between these two teams fuels this AFC North division rivalry. The Baltimore Ravens were formed when the original Cleveland Browns football team left the city. The Cleveland Browns franchise was reactivated in 1999 with the two teams playing against each other twice a season since they are division rivals.
The first installment of the Ravens versus Browns will take place in week 3 the 2014 NFL season. The game will feature Brian Hoyer or Johnny Manziel as the Browns’ quarterback. Joe Flacco will command the Ravens on offense. The Ravens bounced back from their week 1 loss to the Bengals by handling the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night football in the wake of the Ray Rice domestic violence controversy.
The Browns lost their first game of the season but they look to continue to compete for the division or a wild card spot. The NFL season is 17 weeks full of action and the Browns looked decent in their first game. Anything can happen along the way to the Super Bowl and that’s what makes the NFL season so much fun to watch.
NFL Week 2 had more upsets than the Oscars so it begs the question, what does NFL Week 3 have in store for shy bettors?
We will start with our preview of the Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals game in NFL Week 3 action.
The Titans could be one of those teams that surprise the league with their win loss total at the end of the season. In their season opener, the Titans surprised the league by dominating the Chiefs on defense while Jake Locker played up to his potential. The Bengals also took care of business in their first game of the 2014 NFL season by defeating the Ravens 23-16. Since both of these two teams have gotten off to an incredible start, this week 3 match up could be a preview of a match up you could potentially see in the NFL playoffs.
The Titans have shored up their defense with new talent on the field, coaching staff and front office. The Bengals may have lost Mike Zimmer but their star quarterback Andy Dalton is coming into form and the defense has been holding its own. This NFL week 3 betting matchup will take place at Paul Brown Stadium in Downtown Cincinnati on September 21st 2014. The Bengals are expected to be the front runners for the AFC North division while the Titans were picked to finish 3rd or 4th in their division.
After seeing the Tennessee Titan’s first game on the road in Kansas City, many experts could change their mind about this upstart Tennessee Titans team. The Bengals have been perennial one-and-dones in the playoffs over the past couple season. Many fans are wondering when the team can take it to the next level and make it to the Super Bowl.
The San Diego Chargers upset the Seattle Seahawks, then the Broncos narrowly escaped a defeat at the hands of the Chiefs, so does this mean anything can happen on any given Sunday? Yes! What does this mean for the late Sunday Night football game between the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers? Well, it means that despite the 49ers being posted as -8 point home favorites playing out of their new stadium in Santa Clara, the Chicago Bears still have a solid chance at not only covering the 8 points, but winning this game outright.
The Top Bet sportsbook has the Moneyline sitting at +260 betting odds for the Chicago Bears, and -320 for the 49ers. The game total for this late game is 48 points and we expect it to go over 48 points.
Just based on all the madness we have seen in the first 2 weeks of this NFL betting season, it may be worth a few bucks to put down a little cash on the Chicago Bears. Anything can happen in these nationally televised games and Jay Cutler may have a career game.
This game is going to kickoff at 8:30 PM EST so you still have a little time to get in on this game, plus you can always bet live during the game at the above reviewed online sportsbooks for NFL betting. The above game will be nationally televised on NBC.
Wow, what a Sunday indeed so far! The New England Patriots whopped the Vikings 30-7 like Adrian Peterson whopped his kids.
Next up we have the Houston Texans at Oakland Raiders where the Raiders are +3 point home underdogs. We like the Houston Texans at -3 points in this game.
Next we have the New York Jets at Green Bay Packers. Current NFL odds have the Packers listed as -8 point home favorites. This is a huge point spread but we feel the Packers will cover at home. Take teh Packers at -8 points.
At the same time as the above games we have a big one where the Kansas City Chiefs and their stellar defense will head into Denver to play the Broncos. Online bookmakers have the Broncos listed as -13 point home favorites.
In the late game we have Chicago Bears and Jay Cutler traveling to Santa Clara to play the San Francisco 49ers. Online sportsbooks have the 49ers sitting at -7 point home favorites. We like this like and suggest betting on the 49ers with the -7 points for Sunday, September 14th, 2014 NFL Week 2 betting action.
One of the biggest games in NFL Week 2 action is a matchup between the New England Patriots and Minnesota Vikings. Breaking news came out yesterday that Adrian Peterson has been indicted on child abuse charges and turned himself in on Saturday after an arrest warrant was issued Friday.
Local police are alleging that Peterson was intoxicated and hit a child with a wooden stick after the child pushed another child off of a video motorbike game.
What does this mean for NFL bettors? Well, we liked the Patriots originally as -2.5 road favorites prior to this news, but after hearing this the line has jumped up to -6 points. 6 points will be a much tougher hill to climb but we still believe that the Patriots led by Tom Brady can cover the 6 point spread.
The current Total for this game in NFL Week 2 betting action is sitting at Over/Under 48 points. If you think that the Vikings can pull together a miraculous game under all this media pressure then take a look at the +170 moneyline.
Although if you want to bet on this game we say you take the Patriots at -6 points and don’t even bother watching this game because all they are going to be talking about is the Adrian Peterson and Ray Rice respective debacles.

Before we can preview NFL Week 2 betting odds we need to take a recap of what happened in NFL Week 1. First up we will recap the Saints and Falcons overtime game.
In NFL Week 2 some of the biggest games to bet on will be the Thursday night game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, and then on Sunday our favorite NFL game to bet on the Seattle Seahawks against the San Diego Chargers.
Saints vs. Falcons (Falcons win 37-34 in Overtime)
The New Orleans Saints travel to Atlanta to play one of their arch rivals in a week 1 NFL football game that could set the course for each of these teams’ seasons. The Falcon play their home games in downtown Atlanta at the Georgia Dome. The Falcons will put Matt Ryan on the field as quarterback as he has earned the right to lead this team. The Saints will have their franchise quarterback Drew Brees on the field and he is expected to play at his peak potential this season. This week 1 game will take place on September 7th at 1PM EST. The game will be broadcast on the Fox network as most NFC games are. This contentious rivalry will test the resolve of Sean Payton’s Saints and the direction of the Atlanta Falcons franchise. While the Saints won the Super Bowl several years back, the Falcons have sputtered in the playoffs. With so much riding on this season, it is difficult to see either of these teams not leaving it all out on the field in each of their games this season. These two teams could very well both make the playoffs on the NFC side of the bracket which gives this division twice as many chances to bring home the Lombardi trophy. This is certainly a rivalry to watch.
Bucs vs Panthers (Panthers win 20-14)
The early lead in the NFC South will be determined as each team in the conference will play each other in week 1. On Sunday, September 7th at 4:25EST, the Panthers and Buccaneers will kick-off their late afternoon game which will be held at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. The game will feature Cam Newton starting as quarterback for the Panthers. The Panthers were the surprise of the league last year by finishing the season with a 12-4 record. This allowed the Panthers to win the NFC South division which no one predicted. In fact, before last season had started, some fans had wanted Cam Newton to be benched. What a bad idea that would have been! The Panthers went on to lose to the 49ers in the playoffs. The Bucs are rebuilding their team and they look to get maximum value out of their 7th overall pick Mike Evans who is a wide receiver. The Bucs could be home field underdogs in this matchup which is a pretty uncommon occurrence in the NFL. Lovie Smith looks to bring this team back to respectability and many feel as if the former Bears coach is the motivation this talented group of young men needs in order to win some football games in the 2014-2015 season.
49ers vs Cowboys (49ers win 28-17)
The San Francisco 49ers must travel to AT&T Stadium in order to play America’s Team which is better known as the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys will start Tony Romo as quarterback and many Cowboys fans are wondering when this team will ever make the Super Bowl again. The Cowboys had a magical Super Bowl run in the early 90s when Troy Aikman and Emmett Smith were dominating NFL teams. Those days are long gone and the 49ers are likely to be the favorites in the football game. The Cowboys have brought in some good talent during the offseason which should make this Cowboys team different from teams that have been fielded in the past few years. This late game will likely be the featured game on Fox which means the game will likely be broadcasted to entire USA. The Cowboys will look to defeat the favored 49ers and begin their season 1-0. Head Coach Jason Garrett is searching for signature wins to add to his resume and beating the 49ers in week 1 would send a message to the rest of the league noting that the Cowboys are a legitimate threat to hoist the Lombardi trophy. If coach Harbaugh and the 49ers have any say about that, the 49ers will find themselves in the Super Bowl in 2015 with a Lombardi trophy to show for it.
Colts vs. Broncos (Broncos win 31-24)
The Colts will travel to Denver for the first game of the season in what has become an unlikely rivalry. Although the Broncos and Colts are both in AFC, each of the teams hadn’t participated in too many clashes in the past. Once Peyton Manning went to the Broncos and the Colts drafted Andrew Luck, the rivalry was renewed. The rivalry reignited when the Colts were severe underdogs against the Broncos and the Colts went on to win against the Broncos. Broncos coach John Fox will bring his best game plan to defeat the upstart Colts. This game will take place at on Sunday Night Football which is broadcast internationally by NBC. The Colts are fully expected to win the AFC South and the Broncos are expected to find a way into the playoffs as long as Peyton Manning stays healthy. This week 1 matchup could be a preview of a game we could see play out again in January during the NFL playoffs. Each of these teams has low futures odds assigned to them which means each of the teams have a good chance of making the Super Bowl. In fact, some analysts are picking the Broncos as the early favorites to win the Super Bowl in 2015.
The Baltimore Ravens are coming off a rough week going into NFL Week 2 where they will be facing the Pittsburgh Steelers. Of course, Ray Rice will not be playing with the Ravens as he continues to battle his demons.
The battle for the AFC North division will commence on Week 1 of the 2014 NFL Season. The Bengals travel to Baltimore where they have had trouble competing against Joe Flacco and the Ravens in recent years. Franchise quarterback Andy Dalton must prove himself this season and do better than a one and done performance in the playoffs. Marvin Lewis, who was named Bengals head coach in 2003, has enjoyed moderate success while leading the Bengals.
The Ravens look to get their season started out on a positive vibe as they attempt to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals as they travel to M&T Stadium. The Ravens will need to start the season off hot as they have one of the toughest schedules in the league. The team is trying to rebuild their defense as evidenced by the draft. In fact, some analysts feel as if C.J. Mosley was the steal of the draft. This linebacker will certainly fill a gap that the Ravens need.
Each of these teams has the skill to host the AFC championship trophy and play in the Super Bowl. Since the Ravens are playing this game at home, they will likely be marginal favorites in this week 1 AFC North matchup.
What a crazy NFL Week 1 it was and it’s not quite over. Tonight the San Diego Chargers face the Arizona Cardinals in the Monday Night Football game. The second half of the perennial NFL Monday Night Football double header features two west coast teams. The Cardinals will host the Chargers for a showdown in the desert. To check out current NFL betting odds for this game visit the TopBet sportsbook. Each of these teams can be considered a wild card considering the fact that these two teams could show up in the Super Bowl or they could not even make the playoffs. Both the Chargers and the Cardinals play in ultra-competitive divisions with teams that have played against each other last year.
The Cardinals look to stand out wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald in order to put the team on his back and go the distance like they have done before. The Chargers are putting their eggs in the basket of Philip Rivers as he always put up good numbers since becoming the quarterback of the Chargers franchise. This Monday Night Football game will be shown on ESPN and kick off is scheduled for 10:20EST. This means that those on the West coast will be able to watch the game at 7:20PM PST. This should be an entertaining football game that will wrap up the Week 1 festivities. The Cardinals are rebuilding but this home game should be the game in which they set their course for the rest of the season. Even if the Cardinals lose by a small margin, it could be considered a moral victory for this young team.

NFL Week 1 started out with a bang. After the Seattle Seahawks whipped the Green Bay Packers on Thursday, the Buffalo Bills surprised us all by beating the Chicago Bears in Chicago. The Bills had 23 points to the Bears 20. The sportsbooks took a beating with the Bears loss and we look to continue this trend going into NFL Week 2.
The Buffalo Bills travel to Soldier Field to play the Chicago Bears during Week 1 of the NFL season. These two teams will face off in what will be a hardnosed, close football game. These two teams are evenly matched and this game could come down to final play. It is unclear which team will be the favorite at kick-off. Many analysts believe that the preseason of each of these teams will tell us more about their postseason trajectory.
This Sunday afternoon game starts at 1PM EST and the game will be broadcast in the USA on the Fox network. The Bills picked up Sammy Watkins, a highly touted wide receiver, with the 4th overall pick in the NFL draft. Watkins is expected to become an offensive weapon which is sorely needed by the Bills. The Bears picked up Kyle Fuller, a cornerback, with the 14th pick overall in the NFL draft. The Bears also shored up their defensive line by selecting Ego Ferguson as the 51st pick and Will Sutton as the 82nd overall pick. Bears coach Marc Trestman is widely regarded as an offensive genius and his brand of football is expected to help Jay Culter lift the Bears back into the postseason and eventually the Super Bowl.
Well, we do not have icloud leaked nude celebrity pictures but we may have something better; Vikings Rams wagering odds for online betting! Okay, this may not be better but at least we can help you win money, whereas those nude celebrity pictures most likely will not.

In the picture below Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks tell the Green Bay Packers to talk to the hand as the Seahawks went on to defeat the Packers by a score of 36-16 in the NFL regular season opener on Thursday night football.
The Vikings and Rams aren’t traditional rivals however these two teams from the Midwest have a lot in common and many feel as if this game will be a close one. Although no point spreads are currently being published for Week 1 of the NFL season, these two teams seem to be evenly matched and it is too close to call as far as who will be the clear cut favorite to win this football game.
Needless to say when it comes to online football betting no many would have predicted that the Seahawks would beat the Packers by this much. Also, needless to say, the Rams will be playing this game at home in the Edward Jones dome and many Rams fans are excited about what this team can do. This could be the make or break season for head coach Jeff Fisher and Rams quarterback Sam Bradford. The Vikings replaced their coaching staff and drafted Teddy Bridgewater which many analysts feel could start for the Vikings. The Vikings ended up with 2 first round draft picks in which they chose Anthony Barr and Teddy Bridgewater. Mike Zimmer, who has been a head coaching prospect for years, will finally get his shot at leading an NFL franchise into the Super Bowl. Can he do it in his first season? That is still up for the football Gods to decide.
The NFL finally opens today! NFL Week 1 kicks off with the Packers visiting the Seahawks in the Thursday night game, and then on Sunday NFL Week 1 is action packed. In today’s NFL preview we will be covering NFL Week 1 betting picks and prediction for NFL online betting.
The Raiders travel across the country to play the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on September 7th 2014. This week 1 football game will show the world what strides each of these teams have made during the off season. Mark Sanchez is no longer a Jet and Chris Johnson recently signed with the team. The new look Jets are hoping that they can build on their success that they have enjoyed in the past. The Raiders are looking to rebuild their team once again so that they team can return to Super Bowl form.
It’s been several years since each of these teams have made deep runs in the playoffs. This week 1 battle could set the stage for early successes in each of these team’s 2014 seasons. When it comes to online sports betting the Raiders are no stranger to making losing bets, especially when it comes to their drafting. The Raiders may decide to field Derek Carr as their quarterback although Matt Schaub is on the roster. Darren McFadden and Maurice Jones-Drew spearhead the two pronged attack at running back. Khalil Mack will look to lead to Raiders defense. The Raiders and Jets are long shots to win the Super Bowl. Each of these teams will have an uphill battle to defeat the elite teams in the division, much less the rest of the NFL.
The NFL online betting season officially begins tomorrow, Thursday, September 4th, 2014 at 5:30PM PST local time. The below NFL wagering odds are being pulled by the Top Bet sportsbook.
The Green Bay Packers travel to Seattle to play the Seahawks in the regular season opener on September 4th 2014. The game will be broadcast nationwide on NBC on a special edition of Thursday Night Football. The first game of the season typically pits the defending Super Bowl champion team versus a competitive team inside of their conference. As this game kicks off at 8:30PM EST, the NFL regular season will commence and millions of NFL fans will rejoice now that their beloved game is back in season.
Aaron Rodgers led the Packers to a Super Bowl win a few seasons ago therefore this faceoff should be competitive and fun to watch. Russell Wilson looks to buck the trend of Super Bowl champions not winning the Super Bowl in the following season. Fans are already buzzed about the prospect of this game being a preview of the NFC championship conference game. Many sports books have not published odd on week 1 games so it is difficult to tell what the spread will be. Since the Seahawks are playing at home, it should be a given that the Seattle Seahawks will likely be the slight favorite in this contest. This game will be played at CenturyLink Field which is known as one of the loudest stadiums in the NFL.
Today we will start with our Jacksonville Jaguars vs. the Philadelphia Eagles betting preview and updated NFL odds for this game.
The Jags will travel north to Philadelphia to play their first home game of the season. The Eagles will kick off their season at Lincoln Financial Field by playing the early game on CBS. The game starts on Sunday, September 7th at 1PM EST. The Jags will look to start off this season on the right foot by picking up a big win on the road. The Eagles look to start out their season 1-0 by defeating the Jags. Both of these teams will feature a roster that is different than the ones they fielded last year. For example, Mark Sanchez is now an Eagle although many speculate Nick Foles will be the starter. The Jags picked up Blake Bortles as their quarterback in the draft and many analysts feel as if Bortles can become a franchise quarterback in Jacksonville.
These two teams play in different conferences and different divisions. Eagles head coach Chip Kelly looks to institute his highly potent offensive system that brought him so much success when he was the coach of the Oregon Ducks. The Jags coach is Gus Bradley who has 23 years of experience of being a football coach. 7 of those years were spent in the NFL.
Updated look at the Cleveland Browns vs. Pittsburgh Steelers betting odds for the 2014-15 NFL season.
The Cleveland Browns travel to Heinz Field to play the Pittsburgh Steelers. The black and yellow crew is always a team to watch out for considering each time the Steelers have won the Super Bowl (in recent memory), they were massive underdogs to make it to the big game. The Steelers play a unique brand of smash mouth football but for some reason, the team seems to have trouble playing against division rival Cleveland Browns.
The Browns drafted Johnny Manziel to be their star quarterback. The Browns ended up picking twice in the first round of the draft. Using the 8th overall pick, the Browns snagged Justin Gilbert as a starting cornerback while getting the 22nd pick to take Mr. Johnny Football. Most analysts feel as if the Browns had a solid draft my Manziel being the only wild card. Many question whether or not Manziel’s skillset will translate into the pro level. Regardless, Manziel could be the player that the Browns need in order to make it deep into the playoffs. The Steelers will be a tough matchup for the Browns. If you would like to see this game, you can tune into CBS or the DirecTv Sunday Ticket and watch these two teams play on Sunday, September 7th 2014 in the first week of the NFL season.
