SAN DIEGO CHARGERS @ PITTSBURGH STEELERS
Sunday, October 4 – 8:20 p.m. ET
Spread: Steelers -6.5
The Super Bowl Champion Steelers have stumbled out of the gate, dropping to 1-2 after last week’s loss to the Bengals. Beating the Chargers could light the fire, but losing will put Pittsburgh in a big hole in the AFC North.

If that NFL betting headline doesn’t grab your attention, nothing can. I’m telling you to pick the Detroit Lions, a team that hasn’t won’t a football game since the 2007 season, against the Washington Redskins this week. Am I insane? Maybe, but here are some reasons why the Lions are good NFL picks this week – some more significant than others.

The surprising San Francisco 49’ers and the Petersons, aka the Minnesota Vikings, will get it on this Sunday and everyone wants to know if this 49ers teams is for real.
Both teams are undefeated and both teams are 2 and 0 ATS. The 49’ers were brilliant against both the Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks. The Minnesota Vikings were terrific against the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions.

The Redskins invade New York to take on the Giants in a game where the NFL betting no doubt will hot and heavy! The G-Men were one of the top teams in 2008 ATS, but without Plaxico Burress and with nobody stepping it up during the pre-season to take his spot, there is talk that quarterback Eli Manning is going to have a tough time getting the ball downfield.

The highlight of NFL Week 1 betting could come on Thursday, when the defending Super Bowl champions from Pittsburgh will welcome Tennessee to Heinz Field, which hasn’t been kind to the Titans in recent years.
Titans vs Steelers odds – Thursday, September 10, 8:30 PM ET – Steelers -6
The Titans settled on Kerry Collins over Vince Young at quarterback, but it’ll be interesting to see how long that arrangement lasts. Whoever the pivot is, they’ll have LenDale White and Chris Johnson in the backfield again, but there isn’t much at receiver.
New York Yankees’ slugger Alex Rodriguez may be a bit of a fallen hero in Major League Baseball, but not in the Dominican Republic.
That’s because the Dominican team is listed as the favorite at betED.com to win the World Baseball Classic, thanks largely to A-Rod’s decision to play for the Dominican Republic instead of the U.S. team.
The biggest sports betting event of the year takes place this Sunday when the Pittsburgh Steelers and Arizona Cardinals meet on the grid-iron to determine the winner of the 2008-2009 Super Bowl.
The Cardinals are the surprise team after garnering a 9 and 7 straight-up record during the regular season.
The Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers meet for the third time this season with a trip to the Super Bowl at stake. The Ravens will be trying to beat the Steelers for the first time this season while the Steelers will be trying to beat the Ravens for the third time this season.
Both of the teams that made it to the NFC Championship are big surprises. The Philadelphia Eagles had to beat their arch rivals, the New York Giants, on the road in order to get to the championship game. The Arizona Cardinals had to beat the two seed, the Carolina Panthers, on the road to get to the championship game. Out of the two teams, it’s the Cardinals that have provided the biggest surprises to online betting fans this NFL playoff season.
The Arizona Cardinals travel to Carolina to play in a divisional playoff game where most sports betting fans feel the Cardinals have no chance. Arizona is coming off of a spirited against the spread victory and straight-up victory over the 1 point favored Atlanta Falcons in their last game. Arizona looked very good in that game with running back Edgerrin James suddenly finding his feet.
I’m surprised that the NFL schedulers decided to make this the day game and the Arizona Cardinals vs. Carolina Panthers the night game this Saturday. To me, this is the much more intriguing game, and I believe most sports bettors would agree with me, as the Baltimore Ravens defense looked absolutely spectacular this past Sunday when dominating the Miami Dolphins.
The Florida Gators and Oklahoma Sooners battle it out on Thursday night for top honors in the 2008 – 2009 College Football Season. The Gators had to fight tooth and nail to get into this game after losing to Ole Miss in the third week of the season. A victory against the less than impressive Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl signaled that Florida is ready to take on the Sooners for the championship trophy.
The San Diego Chargers needed overtime to beat the Indianapolis Colts but they did so. In beating the Colts, the Chargers beat a team that had won 9 straight games and was led by the reigning NFL MVP, Peyton Manning. But things don’t get easier for the 9 and 8 straight-up Chargers as they have to take their game to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers.
Sports betting fans have to consider this the most interesting NFL betting game of the NFL Divisional Playoffs as the number one seeded New York Giants take the field against their arch rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles were fantastic on the road this past Sunday when easily covering a 3 point BetUS online betting spread against the Minnesota Vikings.
