The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have proven that even though a lot of things have changed in the NFL this season, some things have stayed the same. Tampa plays defense like no other team in the NFL. They are a group of young, ball-hawking, tough guys led by middle linebacker Barrett Rudd.
The New York Giants (3-0 SU, 2-1 ATS, 2-1 O/U) and Seattle Seahawks (1-2 SU, 1-2 ATS, 3-0 O/U), are each coming off a Week 4 bye in the BetUS Sportsbook but that’s about the only thing these two teams have in common at this early stage of the season!
Maybe it’s me BetUS Sportsbook NFL bettors, but I have absolutely no idea how or why the mediocre Arizona Cardinals (2-2 SU, 2-2 ATS, 2-2 O/U), are favored over the surprising Buffalo Bills (4-0 SU, 3-1 ATS, 3-1 O/U), in this Week 5 NFL matchup!
The San Diego Chargers needed a miracle fourth quarter in order to beat the Oakland Raiders this past Sunday. The Raiders were up by fifteen points going into that fourth quarter. They gave up twenty-five.
The Redskins and Eagles meet in a key match-up this Sunday with the Redskins a half game behind the New York Giants for the NFC East lead. The Redskins, after that first week loss to the Giants, have been absolutely fantastic since.
The injuries in the AFC have started to pile up to the point that before making any wagers on some of the stalwarts in the AFC, the San Diego Chargers for example, online betting fans had better take a look at that injury report.

Conference action opens up finally for the Big 12 this Saturday. While other conferences like the SEC, ACC, Big 10 and PAC 10 have opened up conference play, with some major upsets already in those conferences, The Big 12 has established 5 teams in the Top 25 and 2 teams in the Top 3. Look for Missouri and Oklahoma to be the power of this conference this season once again, and no doubt butt heads in Kansas City in December for the Big 12 Championship.
Yes, the King of all wagering sports is in full swing, that would be football. Year in and year out it amazes me that action junkies wait till football to unload 10 or more games a weekend in football, and pound Monday Night football with all they have to chase losses or attempt to double up on profits. You are forgetting one thing, the money is just as green if not greener in MLB this time of year, and I make tons of it!

The Option Offense in football is one of the most venerable and classic nuances of America’s New National Pastime. The Wishbone. The Wing T. The Single Wing. The very thought of The Option brings one back to Yesteryear, Better Days and Days of Yore. Those were simpler times – The Option reflects that – and a Golden Time when speakeasies, jazz, hard work and racism were at the fabric of American Society.
