The San Francisco Forty-Niners have suffered from lack of decent QB-play more acutely than any other team in the NFL betting odds competition. With only about 8-9 truly ‘good’ QBs in the league most teams suffer from mediocre play under center. But the Niners feel the pain the most because this is a team that a pro-bowler in the backfield, at the receiver position, a talented young O-line and potentially one of the best defenses in the NFL if could ever get a few minutes to rest.

The only thing the Niners team is missing for success is an above average QB. And it may have just found their above average signal caller in the former Ohio State standout Troy Smith. Smith’s numbers have been (207.2 ypg, 3 TDs, 2 INTs) decent but in the one stat column that means the most (win-loss) they’ve been superb: 3-1. Read more…

If you have miss any games this weekend on the NFL gambling calendar make sure you miss this game. When the Carolina Panthers (1-9) travel to the Dawg Pound to take on the Cleveland Browns (3-7) put the women and children to bed and spare them the ugliness that is the 2010 Panthers squad.

Yet no one believes that this team is a legitimate contender and even some of its stats seem inflated because of the relatively weak schedule this team has played so far.

On Thursday this team will get good road test against the 5-4 Miami Dolphins. Read more…

There were a lot of headlines being made this NFL gambling off season but none made bigger waves than the Philadelphia Eagles trading 6-time Pro Bowl QB and holder of virtually every franchise passing record, Donovan McNabb.

The trade itself was somewhat unexpected but the astonishing thing of it was the fact that McNabb was traded to a division rival, the Washington Redskins, a team that had all the pieces to win except for a franchise QB. Read more…

The 2010 NFL betting odds season has been very strange on almost any account but one thing you probably never thought you see at the halfway of the season is the Tennessee Titans leading the NFL in offense.

This is a team that is traditionally a defensive minded team in the mold of head coach Jeff Fischer and scores just enough not to lose. But with Vince Young the 2nd highest passer in the NFL at the moment, RB Chris Johnson always just a handoff away from scoring (8 TDs in 8 games, and the addition of deep threat WR Randy Moss, this unit is formidable.
