For the second straight week, the odds have nailed us with some stressful, big spreads. Feels like almost every line is at least a touchdown. Still, there has to be value in here somewhere. Let’s see what I can dig up.
As Week 6 the 2010-11 NFL season encroaches, the teams that haven’t had a bye will begin feel the effects of fatigue. There are a lot of intriguing matchups on tap. Philadelphia and Atlanta collide in the City of Brotherly Love, two Super Bowl candidates clash in Foxborough as the Patriots host the Ravens, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers battle the defending New Orleans Saints.
Here I look at the matchups, giving you some early insight that will help make your 2010 NFL wagers winners.
The 2010 NFL season continues to take some unusual twists and turns and after five weeks we are still wondering which teams will separate themselves from the rest of the pack and be considered the elite ones of the league.
The New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens are moving in that direction in the AFC, but the NFC remains wide open. Case in point, the combined record so far for the final four playoff teams from last year; New Orleans, Minnesota, Dallas, and Arizona is just 8-10.
The biggest game on the National Football League’s Week 6 slate features a pair of unbeaten teams that both seem to be, well, unbeatable.
It should make for a classic clash when the New York Giants tangle with the New Orleans Saints on Sunday at the Louisiana Superdome (1 pm ET, FOX).
betED.com has the Saints favored by 3 points in NFL Betting Lines, with the over/under set at 47.
In the NFC the game of the week is the 5-0 N.Y. Giants @ 5-0 New Orleans Saints, while over in the AFC the Broncos try and make it six in a row when they visit San Diego on Monday night. If Denver finds a way to win, it would give them a 3 ½ game lead in the AFC West.
Here is a brief look at all the match ups with some keys to the game.
Week 6 is here and there a couple of great games on the schedule.
Looking back to 2008 Week 6, the Dallas Cowboys lost starting quarterback Tony Romo to a fractured left pinkie, forcing Romo to miss the next four games and quite possibly ruining the Cowboys playoff hopes, as they dropped 3 of 4 without their starter. Could we see another high profile injury this year?
