NFL Point Spread: Steelers -1.5, O/U: 41
Raise your hand if, five weeks ago, you felt that the Green Bay Packers, and not the Pittsburgh Steelers, would be a lock for the playoffs entering this week 15 collision. It’s been a stunning month for both of these teams – pleasantly for Mike McCarthy’s Pack Attack, and horrifyingly so for young Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin – as two proud franchises have swerved in perpendicularly opposite directions.
While most sports wagering people may not notice this right off the hop, but if the TCU Horned Frogs blow out the Boise State Broncos and the Texas Longhorns barely squeak by the Alabama Crimson Tide, there is still a chance that the Horned Frogs could be voted as AP National Champions. That will be an underlying storyline as the game approaches.
They’re circling the wagons on Foxboro, where the Holy Trinity of Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and Bob Kraft is defending Randy Moss in an obvious desperate attempt to keep the wide receiver from completely checking out in the final three games of the season.
Much has been made of the Cincinnati Bengals’ conversion from a team dominated by hoodlums to a group that stays home on Friday and Saturday nights, which greatly enhances the team’s chances of winning on Sunday afternoons. But a more subtle metamorphosis has taken place, and it will be evident Sunday when Cincy travels to San Diego in an important Week 15 game.
All those months of work on college football betting are about to pay off. Bowl season starts this weekend, and although the first few games are small in stature, the matchups themselves should be entertaining and the lines have some wiggle room.
Big chalk is back with a vengeance. After the favorites went 12-4 SU and 10-6 ATS last week, the NFL odds we have posted so far for Week 15 include just three games with a spread under seven points. That will likely change as the board fills up.
Did you get your holiday shopping taken care of? Good thing, because it’s already time to get back into the war room. College football betting is once again front and center, as the first bowl games of the postseason kick off this Saturday.
