Week 9 in the NFL saw another round of upsets by underdogs, as the favorites tanked again against-the-spread. The NFL betting slate for Week 10 includes a number of big spreads, so another week of upsets could be in order.
The Pittsburgh Steelers, fresh off of a loss versus the New York Giants, travel to Washington to take on another very tough, very capable, NFC East powerhouse in the Washington Redskins.
The Redskins have been a pleasant surprise for sportsbook betting fans so far this season by playing well enough to garner a 6 and 2 straight-up record. They are only a game behind the Giants in the NFC East even though the G-Men beat them in the first game of the season.
The New York Giants became the best team in the NFL this past Sunday for NFL betting fans when they beat the pre-season NFC East favorite, Dallas Cowboys, by a commanding score of 35 to 14. For sports betting fans, it doesn’t get any crazier than that. One pre-season favorite falls to the defending Super Bowl champion by a margin that nobody expected? Such is life in the NFL for a football betting fan.
The New York Jets travel to Buffalo to take on the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been very good this season. Well, they were very good this season up until their loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday. Sports betting fans should note that the Buffalo Bills are 5 and 2 straight-up but only 4 and 3 against the BetUS online wagering spread. The Bills have a very solid team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. They have one of the best running backs in the league in Marshawn Lynch and a more than capable quarterback in Trent Edwards.
This is a game between two teams going in opposite directions. After a terrible start to the NFL season, the Houston Texans have sort of turned the corner. They are now 3 and 4, well within earshot of the playoffs in the AFC, and have on of the top quarterback and wide receiver combinations in the NFL with Matt Schaub throwing and Andre Johnson catching. Their defense is coming together nicely and they should only improve as the season wears on.
The Cowboys travel to New York to take on the NFC East leading Giants. For the Cowboys, it’s the biggest game of the year. They have to start re-asserting themselves as the team to beat in the NFC. Sports betting fans will notice that the Cowboys weren’t good against the spread when Tony Romo was back there throwing the ball. Now that they have Brad Johnson starting for them at quarterback, the Cowboys could be even worse against the BetUS online betting spread. The immobile Johnson will need good protection from his front line in order to keep the Giants’ pass rushers off of him.
The New York Jets travel to Buffalo to take on the AFC East leading Buffalo Bills. The Bills have been very good this season. Well, they were very good this season up until their loss to the Miami Dolphins this past Sunday. Sports betting fans should note that the Buffalo Bills are 5 and 2 straight-up but only 4 and 3 against the BetUS online wagering spread. The Bills have a very solid team on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. They have one of the best running backs in the league in Marshawn Lynch and a more than capable quarterback in Trent Edwards.
The Green Bay Packers travel to Tennessee to take on the last remaining undefeated team in the NFL. The Tennessee Titans have been a sports betting lock since the NFL season started. They are 7 and 0 straight-up and 7 and 0 against the BetUS online NFL wagering spread. They’ve gone 7 and 0 against the spread for a couple of reasons.
The Atlanta Falcons travel to Oakland to take on the most dysfunctional franchise in the league. The Oakland Raiders are just terrible. They have talent on both sides of the ball, but they are an awful team. I’m not sure what Al Davis and the Raiders’ coaching staff needs to do to fix them, but they need to do it quickly.
The Arizona Cardinals travel to St. Louis to take on a Rams squad that has shown marked improvement the past three weeks. Not only did the Rams upset arguably two of the best teams in the NFC, the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, but they played the New England Patriots tough on the road. This Rams team is suddenly turning into a verifiable against the spread juggernaut for BetUS online sportsbook NFL betting fans.
It’s not too late to log onto the BetUS Sportsbook and get an online bet down onto the winner of this year’s Super Bowl!
It’s week nine of the NFL season which is the perfect time to get an online wager down on the team you think will make their way into the Super Bowl and the history books!
Week 8 was full of upsets once again as underdogs paid off for NFL betting fans. Will the trend continue in Week 9, or will the favorites step up and come through?
When the lines for Week 9 first began appearing the biggest spread to be found was in the Detroit/Chicago matchup. That shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering the Lions are winless at 0-7 and they’re visiting Chicago in Week 9 with the Bears tied for first in the NFC North and coming off their bye.
We’re just about half way through the NFL regular season. For NFL betting fans, it’s time to revisit those prop online wagers that we made before the season started and to see if it makes sense to lay down more sports betting dollars on some of the props.
It has become crystal clear in this topsy-turvy NFL betting campaign, that nothing is as it seems for the majority of teams across the league.
Outside of a just a handful of NFL teams this season (Titans, Giants, Redskins, Panthers) nearly every team in the league has shown a serious propensity to display what I’ve long termed, the ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’ symptom.
In last week’s NFL Sunday Re-cap I wrote about how the wheels had fallen off of the New Orleans Saints, San Diego Chargers and Dallas Cowboys. I alerted online sportsbook betting fans to the fact that all three of those teams had become horrible online betting propositions.
The Monday nighter in week seven in the NFL pits the Indianapolis Colts against the Tennessee Titans. For NFL betting fans, it doesn’t get any better than making an online wager on the Titans this season. They have been unbeatable. The Titans are without a doubt one of the top teams in the NFL. Because they are undefeated a lot of football betting fans say that they are the best team in the NFL.
