Sunday, November 1st – Soldier Field – Chicago, IL
NFL Point Spread: Bears -13, O/U: 40
This is another game that won’t be found in the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s archives… unless there’s a Football Follies section. Cleveland Browns brings its dysfunctional team and its particularly horrendous offense into the Windy City to play a bunch of Bears who are not living up to preseason expectations, at least not in the case of Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler.
NFL Week 7: Eagles Try to Prevent another Embarrassing Loss
Game-day: 10/26/2009
Kick-off: 8:30 pm EST
The Philadelphia Eagles were thoroughly embarrassed last Sunday when they lost to the hapless Oakland Raiders straight-up, 13 to 9, as 14 point favorites on the road in the NFL sportsbook.
Indianapolis Colts at St. Louis Rams
Sunday, October 25TH – 1:00 ET Edward Jones Dome
NFL Sports Betting Point Spread: Colts -13, O/U: 45
Fresh off their bye week the Indianapolis Colts get an opportunity to rack up a lot of points against the Rams on the road. The Colts have won their last three games by double digits and appear to be the most complete team in the AFC. Even without Bob Sanders the Colts defense has been very solid allowing just over 14 points per game.
San Diego Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs
Sunday, October 25th – 1:00 ET
Arrowhead Stadium
NFL Point Spread: Chargers -5, O/U: 44
In a must win game, the San Diego Chargers were beat up at home by the Denver Broncos both straight up and against the NFL week 7 sports betting odds.
Minnesota Vikings at Pittsburgh Steelers
Sunday, October 25th – Heinz Field – 1:00 ET
NFL Point Spread: Steelers -4, O/U: 45
The Pittsburgh Steelers are finally healthy and having Troy Polamalu back on the defensive side of the ball makes a huge difference for this team. The Steelers also made it official this week naming Rashard Mendenhall as their starting running back. After their 1-2 start the Steelers have reeled off three straight wins and appear to be back on track.
TCU Horned Frogs @ BYU Cougars
Saturday, October 24th – 7:30 PM ET
LaVell Edwards Stadium
NCAA Football Betting Spread: TCU -2.5, O/U: 51
Chicago Bears @ Cincinnati Bengals
NFL Betting Odds: Bengals -1
The Chicago Bears have been up-and-down this season. They have looked good in their three home wins but have whiffed twice in their two road losses. Last week, the Bears played the Atlanta Falcons really tough but ended up losing the game as the Falcons scored on their last drive and the Bears could not match.
Sunday, October 18th – Superdome –1:00 ET
NFL Point Spread: Saints -3, O/U: 47
The two best teams in the NFC hook up in New Orleans as the Saints host the Giants in what could be a NFC Championship preview. While both teams are undefeated they have also been very kind to their backers. The Saints are 9-1-1 in their last 11 ATS, while the Giants have covered in 17 of its last 21 games against the teams with winning records.
Detroit Lions at Green Bay Packers
Sunday, October 18th – Lambeau Field – 1:00 PM ET
NFL Point Spread:
Packers -13.5, O/U: 48
The Green Bay Packers enjoyed their bye week after coming up short against Brett Favre and the Vikings last time out.
Houston Texans at Cincinnati Bengals
Sunday, October 18th – Paul Brown Stadium – 1:00 PM ET
NFL Point Spread: Bengals -4.5, O/U: 45
It is pretty clear the Cincinnati Bengals are for real. After losing a heart-breaking game to Denver week one the Bengals have reeled off four straight wins and have beaten every team in their division. What is most impressive about Cincinnati’s winning streak is their ability to make plays in the final seconds each game.
South Carolina Gamecocks at Alabama Crimson Tide
Game-day: 10/17/2009
Kick-off: 3:30 pm EST
Roll tide! That must have been what was coming from every single bar and restaurant in the state of Alabama, that wasn’t close to the University of Auburn or owned by a University of Auburn alum, after the Crimson Tide took down the Ole Miss Rebels in ‘Bama’s first real test in the SEC Conference. The Crimson Tide thumped the Rebels 22 to 3 in Mississippi.
Game-day: 10/12/2009
Kick-off: 8:30 pm EST
Mark Sanchez was kicked in the mouth this past Sunday when he and the rest of the New York Jets ran into a defensive buzz saw down in the N’Awlins. It wasn’t Drew Brees, Marques Colston and Reggie Bush who lit up the Jets. It was the Saints defense that accounted for 14 points, a returned interception for a TD and a fumble recovery in the end Zone, and caused Sanchez to throw 3 interceptions and fumble the ball once.
Game-day: 10/11/2009
Kick-off: 1:00 pm EST
Two of the bottom rung teams in the league, Cleveland and Buffalo, take each other on in a game that could go a long way in deciding the future of not only each team but of their respective coaches.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS @ DENVER BRONCOS
Sunday, October 11 at 4:15 p.m. ET
Spread: Patriots -3
Protégé meets pupil when Bill Belichick’s Patriots visit Josh McDaniels’ Broncos. Sooner or later, football fans are going to have to admit the Broncos (4-0) are for real. New England (3-1) poses Denver’s stiffest challenge yet, especially with Tom Brady looking more comfortable each week.
Game-day: 10/4/2009
Kick-off: 1:00 pm EST
One thing was obvious about the Detroit Lions last week in their victory over the Washington Redskins. That was that the Lions are a better team than anyone really knows. When rookie QB Matthew Stafford is given time, he can be every bit as effective as the Lions’ thought he would be when they drafted him #1 last April. The Lions’ defense has much better players and much better communication than the team in 2008.
Well, NFL betting fans, do you still think I’m crazy? The Shocker Special urged you to pick Detroit over Washington last week and didn’t lead you astray. Let’s see if we can start a trend. This week’s pick probably seems just as crazy: the pathetic Browns to beat the surprising Cincinnati Bengals…or at least cover the 5.5-point spread.
