This is a huge game for not online NFL betting fans but for the Dallas Cowboys as well. Should they lose this then I believe online football wagering fans can honestly say that the wheels have fallen off the semi-truck that was the Dallas Cowboys. They won’t be rolling over any contenders in the NFL after a loss to the Bucs on the road.
The Chargers and Saints battle it out this Sunday in London, England, as good will NFL ambassadors. I’m sure coaches Norv Turner and Sean Payton are ecstatic about the prospect of flying to London, both teams already have, I’m sure, getting some practice time in among the various distractions, and then taking the field and trying to secure a victory in a must win situation for both teams.
The Buffalo Bills travel to Miami to take on a Dolphins team that has lost two games in a row. Buffalo should be favored heavily in this game as they have been absolutely brilliant so far this season. There’s something about this team that online NFL betting fans have to appreciate.
The Denver Broncos travel to New England to take on the Patriots in a key game for both teams. Denver hasn’t been very good against the online betting spread this year. At times they look like a team that could win the AFC Conference and make it to the Super Bowl. At other times they look like a team that has no shot and that soon the San Diego Chargers will assert themselves in the AFC West. The Broncos have a decent quarterback in Jay Cutler and very good running backs in Michael Pittman and Selvin Young but their defense has been terrible so far this season. If it weren’t for some lucky breaks against teams like the New Orleans Saints, the Broncos would be sitting on 2 wins at the most.
The Dallas Cowboys travel to St. Louis to take on a Rams team that won their first game of the season last Sunday. The Rams were 13 ½ point online betting underdogs at Washington. What did they do? They simply marched onto the field and beat the Redskins without scoring a single point on offense.
The Baltimore Ravens travel to Miami where they will attempt to defend against the wildcat offense. Online NFL betting fans had better get to know the wildcat offense well. The Cleveland Browns actually used a version of it this past Monday to keep the Super Bowl defending champion New York Giants on their heels.
The San Francisco 49’ers, back where they started this decade, in the cellar, travel to New York to take on the Super Bowl defending champion Giants. The 49’ers just aren’t a very good team. When you’re best quarterback is a guy who has bounced around the league for years, sorry J.T. O’Sullivan, your chances of winning consistently aren’t very good.
The New York Jets travel to Oakland to take on a Raiders team that was just obliterated by Drew Brees and the Saints last Sunday. What’s up with the Raiders? They were just destroyed. I mean, it got ugly almost as soon as the third quarter started. The Raiders still have no idea what to do when faced with adversity.
Man, the Minnesota Vikings got lucky against the Detroit Lions this past Sunday! Detroit had the game won. NFL betting fans who had money on the Lions to win straight-up had be jumping and cursing their televisions after the referee called that bogus pass interference penalty against the Lions. Ryan Longwell hit the game winner and the Vikings won. Of course, Minnesota didn’t come close to covering against the BetUS online sportsbook betting spread.
The San Diego Chargers are the Jekyll and Hyde of the NFL this season. I don’t understand this team. It’s been difficult as an online football betting fan to get a bead on a team that for some reason can look awesome against good competition and then tries to mail it in against bad competition.
The Pittsburgh Steelers finally get to play a game on a Sunday afternoon. How crazy has the Steelers’ schedule been so far? They’ve played on Sunday night twice and then they had that Monday nighter against the Baltimore Ravens just a couple of weeks ago. The Steelers haven’t played on a Sunday afternoon since their first game of the season. It will be nice to see the Steelers in the morning here on the West Coast.
The Vanderbilt Commodores are the surprise team of the SEC Conference this season. They have been very good this season. Yes, they did lose their last game to Mississippi State but that’s okay because the weekend before they beat the Auburn Tigers. The most surprising thing for college football betting fans is how the Commodores have suddenly found out how to play defense. They haven’t given up more than 21 points in a single game this season.
For the second time this year, the New Orleans Saints lost a game because of their kicker. I hate to point out Martin Grammatica’s faults, but, seriously, he can’t make a 46 yarder in a dome? Come on, Martin. It was absolutely ridiculous how the Saints committed nine penalties in the first half of their Monday night loss versus the Minnesota Vikings.
The two best teams in the NFC South square off in a key divisional game. The Panthers currently lead the NFC South by a game. If the Bucs win, they force a tie. But, can the Bucs win? Against the BetUS online NFL wagering spread, the Bucs haven’t been terrible this season but for the first time this year they might have to contend with adversity.
The Green Bay Packers travel to Seattle to take on the Seahawks after reeling from three straight losses. First, it was the Dallas Cowboys. Then, it was the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Finally, they just dropped a game versus the Atlanta Falcons last Sunday at home.
The SEC Conference this season looks a lot like the SEC Conference last season. The LSU Fighting Tigers are undefeated and looking to win the SEC straight-up while the Florida Gators already have a loss and might be looking at a second loss.
