Sunday, January 3rd – Ralph Wilson Stadium, Orchard Park – 1:00 PM ET
NFL Point Spread: Bills -8
The Colts got in a lot of trouble with their fan base when they pulled their starters last week. Instead of trying for a perfect season, the Indy subs played and were handily defeated by the New York Jets.
Who would have thought that at this point the New Orleans Saints would be the team that would be faltering, while the Carolina Panthers were coming on strong? Yet if you have looked at the respective performances of these teams the last couple of weeks that might be the conclusion you’d draw.
Last minute heroics by Brett Favre simply weren’t enough as the Vikings were stunned during a Monday Night Football betting loss to the Chicago Bears last weekend. With the New York Giants on the docket playing for respect to close out their season, the Vikings will need to snap a two-game losing skid to keep their hopes of a first-round bye alive.
Falcons vs. Buccaneers (+2)

Sunday, January 3 – 1:00 PM ET
The Atlanta Falcons (8-7 SU, 10-5 ATS, 7-8 O/U) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-12 SU, 6-9 ATS, 6-9 O/U) won’t be going to the playoffs this season, but both franchises have a reason to go all out in their final regular season game this Sunday.

Miami Dolphins at New York Jets
BetUS NFL betting odds: N.Y. JETS -2.5, Total 42
BetUS Sportsbook bettors who follow pro football know that the New York Giants (12-3 SU, 11-4 ATS) have clinched home field advantage in the NFC playoffs. The Minnesota Vikings (9-6 SU, 6-9 ATS) can clinch a spot in the playoffs with a win when these two teams get together in Sunday’s NFL betting action that is scheduled to get underway at 1 PM ET at the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome (artificial turf) in Minneapolis.
The Bears tried to kill themselves last week, showing even less imagination of offense than they normally do, but they stayed with it and took advantage of Packer mistakes to keep themselves alive for another week.
They also had some incredible luck.
Will that luck continue, as Chicago heads into the final week having to win, and hope for Minnesota and/or other teams to stumble?
Obviously the Chargers are a testament to the “never say die” attitude, as they looked well out of the division race but were playing hard anyway, just in case Denver would falter. The Broncos, not being a very good team, did just that. So that opens things up for a winner-take-all showdown that will decide the AFC West title, and will be the “Flex game” that NBC televises on Sunday night.
The Carolina Panthers (11-4 SU, 8-6-1 ATS), fresh off a gut-wrenching defeat against the New York Giants, will have an opportunity to clinch the NFC South title on Sunday when they face off against the New Orleans Saints (8-7 SU, 10-4-1 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at the Louisiana Superdome (artificial turf) in New Orleans.
The St. Louis Rams (2-13 SU, 5-10 ATS) bring another painful season to an end on Sunday when they travel to the Peach State to take on the Atlanta Falcons (10-5 SU, 9-6 ATS) in NFL pro football sports betting action that is set to get underway at 1 PM ET at the Georgia Dome (artificial turf) in Atlanta.
