Week 10 NFL Lines: Bengals vs. Steelers

Sunday NFL Betting – Steelers To Take Back North On Sunday

The Cincinnati Bengals have been one of the biggest surprises of the NFL season so far this year. They are 6-2 (and really should be 7-1) and currently sit atop the AFC North. They are a completely revived team with a healthy Chad Ochocinco, a replenished defense and a resurgent Cedric Benson.

Week 9 NFL Lines: MNF Steelers vs. Broncos

Monday Night Football – Steelers To Roll Through Broncos

The Denver Broncos were a perfect 6-0 prior to last week but now all of the sudden, there are question marks. Nobody was expecting them to be 16-0 this season but a lot of people did expect a much better effort than they put forward last week.

Week 9 NFL Lines: Cowboys vs. Eagles

Sunday Night Football – Eagles Pressure To Force Cowboys Mistakes

Just about a month ago, everyone was question whether Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo was worthy of being a starting quarterback. Beyond that, fans were calling for Jason Garrett’s punch card and Wade Phillips head. Now all of the sudden, the Cowboys are playing for first place in the NFC East and have seemingly quieted the haters.

Week 9 NFL Lines: Texans vs. Colts

Sunday NFL Betting – Texans Still Not Ready To Upend Colts

The Houston Texans have never defeated the Indianapolis Colts in the history of their franchise and while they have played good football over the last month, the Colts still present a tough matchup for them.

The Texans have a couple of things just don’t work for them against the Colts: they don’t have much of a pass rush and they don’t have much of a pass defense.

Week 9 NFL Spreads: Ravens vs. Bengals

NFL WEEK 9 – RAVENS vs. BENGALS

Guess we’ll see what the Cincinnati Bengals are made of over the next two weeks. Even the Bengals concede that important AFC North games against Baltimore on Sunday and Pittsburgh the following week will go a long way toward shaping the division for the second half of the season and in particular determining just how far the franchise has come in re-shaping a team that has been in disarray for several years.

Week 9 NFL Spreads: Chargers vs. Giants

NFL WEEK 9 – San Diego Chargers vs. N.Y. Giants

It’s fish-or-cut-bait time in San Diego, where the Chargers are planning for the most important two games of the season. Battles against the Giants this Sunday and Philadelphia a week from then will pretty much determine whether San Diego has the stones to stay within shouting distance of first-place Denver (or at least a playoff berth) in the AFC West.

Week 8 NFL Lines: Texans vs. Bills

Sunday Football Betting – Can Texans Avoid Disappointment In Buffalo?

The Houston Texans have undoubtedly been one of the most frustrating teams to cheer for in the NFL this year. They are currently 4-3 but had they not been stuffed on the one-yard line in two separate fourth quarters (against the Jacksvonille Jaguars and the Arizona Cardinals), they could be 6-1.

Week 8 NFL Lines: MNF Falcons vs. Saints

Monday Night Football Betting – Falcons Can Play With The Saints

The New Orleans Saints might still be perfect, they might be off another impressive win and they might be the last undefeated team in the NFC. But that doesn’t mean they are untouchable.

There is no doubt that the Saints offense is still among the best in the NFL. And their defense has clearly closed the gap and has improved. But it seems like whenever the “perfect” talk starts happening is when the tighter contests start to come.

Week 8 NFL Lines: Broncos vs. Ravens

Sunday NFL Betting – Broncos Should Stay Perfect In Baltimore

The Denver Broncos are a perfect 6-0 on the year and are one of only three remaining undefeated teams in the NFL. They’ll get another tough test this week as they head to Baltimore to face a Ravens team that also was once perfect this season.

The Ravens started the year with three straight wins, were atop the NFC North and were considered to be one of the best teams in the league. But after three straight losses with their defense letting them down time and time again, a lot of people are wondering how good this Ravens unit really is.

Week 8 NFL Spreads: Giants vs. Eagles

NFL WEEK 8 – N.Y. Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles

With a rock-solid offensive line, a top-3 defense and a power running game, you’d figure that the Giants would be pretty much recession-proof. And starting the season with five wins only added to New York’s aura of invincibility. Losing to New Orleans by three touchdowns put a few dings in the driver’s side door, but those things happen –

Week 8 NFL Spreads: Vikings vs. Packers

NFL WEEK 8 – Minnesota Vikings vs. Green Bay Packers

Brett Favre is a good old boy from Mississippi, and he proved earlier this week just why the percentage of good old boys from Mississippi in Mensa is pretty low.

In a seeming never-ending effort to stick it to the management of the Green Bay Packers, who signed his hefty paychecks for some 16 years, Favre said that his current employer, Minnesota, is the most talented team he’s ever played on.

Week 7 NFL Lines: MNF Eagles vs. Redskins

Monday Night Football Betting – Eagles Just As Pathetic As Redskins

Traditionally, the Philadelphia Eagles-Washington Redskins games provide some high entertainment value. This year’s episode on Monday Night Football may be a different story.

The Philadelphia Eagles are off a very ugly loss to the Oakland Raiders. The Eagles were the NFC favorite coming into the season and were supposed to be an offensive juggernaut, yet last week they only mustered nine points in a pitiful loss to the Raiders.

The Arizona Cardinals and New York Giants are heading into their Sunday Night Football contest in very different moods.

The Cardinals are flying high after an impressive win at Qwest Field where, for a second year in a row, they stomped the Seattle Seahawks.

Week 7 NFL Lines: Pats vs. Bucs

Sunday NFL Betting – New England To Put On A Show In England

The New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to United Kingdom to put the NFL on display. Hopefully the English fans over there like to see one-sided blowouts.

The New England Patriots are fresh off a 59-0 win over the winless Tennessee Titans, who are one of the worst teams in the AFC, and now go on the road to face one of the worst teams in the NFC, the winless Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Week 7 NFL Spreads: Vikings vs. Steelers

NFL WEEK 7 – Minnesota Vikings vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

Up is down is up in Pittsburgh, where the running game is in shambles and Ben Roethisberger and Hines Ward have become the most dangerous pass-catch combination in the league.

The defending Super Bowl champs have basically re-invented themselves on the fly after early-season losses losses to Chicago and Cincinnati put them in an early hole in the AFC North. Gone is the reliance on the power running game, replaced by Roethlisberger firing the ball all over the field.
