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.

The AFC South has surprisingly turned out to be the most competitive division in the NFL gambling action this season. Never before has this team had more than one or two legitimate playoff contenders but this season all four teams have shot at the post season. It remains the only division in the league that doesn’t have a team with a losing record.

The Houston Texans started off with the early lead in this division but have since fizzled a bit and now sport a 4-4 record. Likewise with the 4-4 Jacksonville Jags which has been treading water for most of the season, but QB David Garrard quietly putting together a fine season this team is poised to make a run. Read more

There doesn’t seem to be any great teams in the 2010 NFL betting odds right now but there is an inordinate amount of really good teams, at least a half a dozen with a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl.

The Carolina Panthers (1-7) are not one of them. In fact, despite having a better record than the still winless Buffalo Bills (0-8) is easily the worst team in football. The team has a pretty bad defense that’s giving up 23.0 ppg (22nd in the league) and an offense that is downright embarrassing (11.0 ppg).

When this travels to Tampa Bay in the Week 10 sports betting action to take on the NFC South rival Buccaneers (5-3) it will be beaten badly. Read more

In the first Thursday night NFL gambling matchup of the season the 6-2 Baltimore Ravens, named for a carrion scavenger will face the 6-2 Atlanta Falcons, a bird of prey, in a matchup that features two of the best defenses in the league.

Baltimore has long been known for its defensive prowess and concussion inducing hitters. But the Falcons D has quietly played its way into prominence and in some ways has been more effective than the Ravens’ D this season. Both teams’ D rank in the top ten in the league and will have a huge role to play in this Week 10 showdown. Read more

The 2-5 Cincinnati Bengals are team in trouble and their Week 9 matchup against the 5-2 Pittsburgh Steelers is a must win situation. With Cleveland’s (3-5) surprise win over the New England Patriots (6-2) on Sunday the Bengals are now in last place in the AFC North. The playoffs are all but impossibility at this point with the stiff divisional competition and the best the Bengals can hope for this season is a winning record.

But if they can get a road win over a quality team like the Steelers, the team certainly has the talent to reel off a 5-6 game win streak and with injuries to other teams in the AFC you never know what could happen. Read more
