If you’d asked last January who the two worst teams in the NFL were going to be going into Week 5, not very many people would have answered with the Kansas City Chiefs. And no sane person would have included the Indianapolis Colts on that list either.
Houston quarterback Matt Schuab will be going into Sunday’s game against the Oakland Raiders (2-2) without star wide receiver Andre Johnson. This development is a real test for the Texans (3-1) who have been having a great season that’s rested largely on Johnson’s shoulders.
The Chargers, who have a propensity for starting off every season slowly, have to be feeling pretty good that they are boasting a winning record as they head into a Week 4 AFC battle with the struggling Miami Dolphins.
It’s Thanksgiving week, which means the middle of the NFL campaign while winding down the college football regular season.
Late season college football means heated races for conference titles and bowl berths, plus rivalries that span decades. These games can have far more importance for players than September/October clashes. Oklahoma/Ok-State, USC/UCLA, Florida/Florida State, Georgia/Georgia Tech and Auburn/Alabama bring out extra intensity and emotion.
Mike Singletary is not an NFL-caliber coach.
He’s a coordinator or maybe a college coach at best. He proved that again Sunday, and his childish antics cost smart bettors who took the under in the 49ers-Chiefs game an easy winner.
The total opened at 36, but rose steadily and ended up going off at 38. In a matchup of two below-average offenses with shaky quarterbacks against improving defenses, the under was the sharp side.
It may be HOT and many folks are still on vacation, but August kicks off the best time of the sports betting calendar: Football season! Competition on the field won’t be as intense as September, of course, as wins aren’t as important as evaluating young talent and trying to keep players healthy. However, there will be betting lines available on preseason pro action and it’s possible to cash winning tickets.
