There’s about a million different story lines surrounding this Sunday Night NFL betting odds matchup and only a few of them concern football. Brett Favre returning to Green Bay, Randy Moss’s return to the Vikings, a crippled Green Bay lineup trying to get by, an Aaron Rogers concussion, etc, etc.
But despite the circus surrounding this game at its core is two very good teams –despite what their records might indicate- playing an NFL North division rivalry that could have a huge impact on who wins the division.
Minnesota (2-3) has gotten off to a very slow start but is starting to hit its stride while Green Bay (3-3) has been nearly incapacitated by injuries. Read more…
Generally Monday Night NFL gambling matchups are supposed to be interesting and exciting matchups of two relevant teams. In Week 6 of the NFL season fans will have no such luck and the 3-2 Tennessee Titans travel to the northern Florida to play the 3-2 Jacksonville Jaguars.
There isn’t much intrigue surrounding this game aside from the fact these two teams are both in the AFC South, the only division in the NFL right now where all 4 teams have winning record and all 4 teams have an identical record (Colts 3-2, Texans 3-2). But this statistical nonsense won’t last forever. It won’t even last until Monday as the results from this game will break up the log divisional log jam. Read more…
The Washington Redskins (3-2) will have a national audience all to themselves for the second time this NFL betting odds season when they’re featured at home for the second time this year in the Sunday Night Game of The Week. The first time the Skins played in the Sunday night game it wasn’t pretty but it ended in a favorable 13-7 win over the division rival Cowboys.
The Skins would be ecstatic the same favorable –but highly unlikely- result this week. Washington is capable of winning this game, but holding this week’s opponent to just 7 points is about as likely as Sarah Palin joining MENSA. Read more…
Far too many NFL betting lines makers are living in the past. The New England Patriots had a great run a few years back and are the closest thing we’ve seen to an NFL dynasty since the 1990’ Dallas Cowboys. But let’s face it, the Pats are on the decline and anyone thinking otherwise is livening in a time capsule.
That the Patriots (3-1) are favored this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens (4-1) is mindboggling …and also a great betting opportunity for football fans.
Kickoff for this Saturday matchup is set for 1:05 Eastern Time and sbgglobal opened with the Patriots as a 2.5-point favorite with an over/under total at 44.5. Read more…
The Denver Broncos are just about where most people expected them to be after 5 games into the 2010 NFL gambling season: 2-3 and tied for last place in the AFC West.
But those numbers don’t tell the whole story and while the team may be tied for last in the division, they’re also just 2 games out first place and two of their losses have come against two of the best teams in the NFL (Baltimore and Indianapolis). Read more…
