Week 14 NFL Spread: Jags vs. Bears

NFL Betting Sunday – Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Chicago Bears

There could be little interest from a fan’s point-of-view regarding this game because the Jacksonville Jaguars proved on Monday night that they just don’t care to play NFL football any more. They threw in the towel against the Houston Texans early on in that game. The Chicago Bears on the other hand have a chance to make the NFC Conference playoffs this year.

Chiefs vs. Broncos Week 14 Spread

NFL Preview – Kansas City Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos

In the first meeting between these two teams the Denver Broncos were surprised by the Kansas City Chiefs. The Broncos were favored by over 10 points in that game but the Chiefs won straight-up. Sports betting fans suddenly saw the Broncos and decided that they weren’t a good enough team to make it to the playoffs. It caused the Broncos to start to drop a few games and turn sour against the BetUS online wagering spread. Well, the Broncos have seemingly turned it around after beating the New York Jets on the road last Sunday. Okay, maybe they haven’t turned it around. This team is still only 7 and 5 straight-up and 4-7-1 against the BetUS online wagering spread.

Buccaneers vs. Panthers MNF Week 14 Spread

NFL Monday Night Football – Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers

This could be the most important game in the NFC South Division this season. Both the Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a game ahead of the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC South. The Bucs lead the NFC South at this point because they beat Carolina the first time these two teams met. Jon Gruden has a very good football team in Tampa Bay this season.

Redskins vs. Ravens SNF Week 14 Spread

NFL Betting – Washington Redskins vs. Baltimore Ravens

The Redskins and Ravens battle it out in a regional rivalry this Sunday night with the Redskins needing a victory in order to keep their playoff chances alive. The Baltimore Ravens are actually doing very well this year even though they are being led by a rookie quarterback, Joe Flacco. Flacco doesn’t play like a rookie. He’s no Matt Ryan but he’s no Akili Smith or Tim Couch either.

Rams vs. Cardinals Week 14 Spread

NFL Betting – St. Louis Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals

The St. Louis Rams are a mess. The Arizona Cardinals, up until the disaster against the Philadelphia Eagles on Thanksgiving Night, were one of the best offensive teams in the NFL. I say offensive teams because the Cardinals’ defense has been exposed more than once this season. Arizona has the best wide receiver in the NFL playing for them, Larry Fitzgerald. There could be some debate from sports betting fans, but not from me. The guy has never dropped the ball. The Cardinals are still the class of the NFC West even though they were throttled by the Eagles in their last. Arizona is 7 and 5 straight-up and 7 and 5 against the BetUS Sportsbook online betting spread.

Eagles vs. Giants Week 14 Spread

NFL Picks – Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants

The New York Giants just keep rolling along. Nothing seems to faze the best team in the NFL. There isn’t another team that treats sports betting fans better than the New York Giants who are 11 and 1 straight-up and 10 and 2 against the BetUS online betting spread. The G-Men have one of the best offenses in the NFL. They have an extraordinary running game. Because of that the suspension of Plaxico Burress shouldn’t hurt this team at all. Eli Manning has plenty of other weapons to throw the football too. Forget Plaxico. His loss might actually make the Giants a better against the spread NFL betting team although I’m not sure that’s possible.

Falcons vs. Saints Week 14 Spread

NFL Sunday Betting – Atlanta Falcons vs. New Orleans Saints

Game-day: 12/7/2008
Kick-off: 1:00 pm est.

The New Orleans Saints had a chance to make an inroad into the NFC South title by beating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday. Drew Brees threw three interceptions and the Saints lost by three points. They beat the BetUS online sports betting spread by a single point, but they lost the game straight-up. It’s too bad because the Saints have one of the best offenses in the NFL. They just can’t get it together. Straight-up the Saints are 6 and 6. Against the BetUS online wagering spread the Saints are 8 and 4.

Raiders vs. Chargers Week 14 Spread

NFL Betting Thursday – Oakland Raiders vs. San Diego Chargers

This should have been a good game. Okay, it might still be a good game from a sports betting perspective but the San Diego Chargers have turned into one of the worst teams in the AFC Conference this season. BetUS online sportsbook betting fans know about the Oakland Raiders, but the Chargers?

NFL Week 13 Action – Carolina Panthers vs. Green Bay Packers

The Carolina Panthers travel to Green Bay to take on a Packers team that’s still reeling from getting hammered by the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. The Panthers weren’t exactly a sports betting fan’s dream this past Sunday either. I mean, they let the Atlanta Falcons pretty much take them to school in every phase of the NFL football game.

Green Bay vs. New Orleans Monday Night Football Spread

NFL Monday Night Betting – Green Bay Packers vs. New Orleans Saints

The Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints meet this Monday night in what will be an important game for both teams in regards to their playoff lives. The Packers are tied for first place in the NFC North Division. They are, without a doubt, one of the better teams in the NFC, but they haven’t been able to put together two or more solid games in a row. For sports betting fans, the Packers can be somewhat of a difficult online wager considering they are so inconsistent.
